Getting paid to fish sounds like a dream come true to some. But does it have the same appeal if you're going up against a "fish from hell" that can travel on land and sink its teeth into a steel-toed boot?

Toothy!

Any Thais in Maryland? They know what to do with a snakehead.

[mylife]

That’s a good bounty!

[sauropod]

Really?

Are we required to deposit them on the steps of the state capitol?

[Olog-hai]

How is that fish smoked?

[coloradan]

You need a really big rolling paper.

[mylife]

Probably fine.
Asians eat them.

Ive had smoked carp that’s delicious

So it’s illegal to sell them except to the Maryland Gov?

That's the REASON why there's snakeheads in Maryland!!!!!!! LOL

I think that you have to provide photographic evidence that you have done them in, and then you receive gift cards.

Silly Yankees. Try that $200 in Georgia and that species wouldn’t survive the weekend. Those boys know how to fish and hunt.

[Slings and Arrows]

Sounds like a win-win for them.

[Slings and Arrows]

Works for me.

Photo evidence?
I say give them a dorsal fin and re purpose the rest.

[The Cajun]

Get about half dozen Cajuns up there, week, week and a half, those suckers would be on the endangered species list.........Just suggesting.

[mylife]

I’d give it a go.

[Silentgypsy]

Maybe if y’all spread the word, problem solved. Sounds like a solid plan to me. ;)

Stupid program, but what else can you expect from politicians and bureaucrats. Should have to bring them whole to a disposal station, like checking in deer, rather than just uploading a picture. Fraud is gonna kill this effort.
