We have a lot of Snakeheads in the Potomac River these days. I haven't caught one yet, but they're all over the place.

Virginia fishing regulations (Potomac River Fisheries Commission (PRFC)) say the following about Snakeheads:

PRFC Regulations wrote:It shall be unlawful to possess a live snakehead fish or to return, release, or otherwise discard any living snakehead fish to the Potomac River.

We don't have them yet but I understand they are in the Ohio, Illinois and Mississippi Rivers.
