Even worse, the fisherman - perhaps thinking it was a rare native species - released it.

Oh, you beat me by four minutes. I shouldn't have had to spend time remembering how to post an image.

I can't believe that after 24 posts nobody has posted the three-eyed fish from the Simpsons. I bet someone does eventually.

I think this might be one that was profiled in National Geographic maybe 20 years ago.
You and I are probably thinking about the same thing. There were "walking catfish" in Florida. Allegedly they could get up and walk away from any inhospitable pond.
Nature lover that I am, I finally got tired of the environmentatlist "the world is coming to an end" agenda. Consequently, I have not kept up with this stuff for a long time.

Oh man, why'd you post this thread? It's giving me the creeps. The darn things are always hungry, they can eat anything their own size, and they can walk and jump! Somewhere there's a Stephen King novel waiting to be written.
Snakehead fish require large amounts of food and are continuously hungry...
Oddly this predatory fish is known to swallow prey which is as large as itself. Adults are known to prey on fish, frogs, aquatic birds and small mammals,...
These fish are excellent jumpers with some being seen leaping out of the water to capture small organisms.

Are you sure it's not a member of the Kennedy family returning to the pond scum from which they came from?
