Ross, There was a segment on snakeheads on cable TV over the weekend, It might have been Michigan Outdoors. In the show they showed a Snakehead being caught in Lake Huron I beleive. It was a wicked looking fish! Lots of teeth, very aggressive, a alien species broght here in some ships ballast. The key issue is that they don't reproduce in the lakes, because of there aggressiveness, they could ruin the native fishes abillity to compete. the fish they showed was not large enouph to give a diver to much difficuty. The DNR considers them a serious threat possibly having a bounty on them, They are dark, and look like a cross between a pike and a lamprey! I say "hope they don't take hold, we need them as much as we need hemroids!" regards, Dave
