Snakehead fish now in Alabama? Sounds like it's a possibility 
By By Alan Clemons US Source: AL 3/23/2009

Apparently an angler on Pickwick Lake caught a snakehead last week and we're trying to run down the veracity of the story, but are fearful of repercussions if it proves to be true.

Snakeheads are an exotic species we definitely do not need in our waterways. They are prolific breeders and have a voracious appetite. So far they've been found in Maryland and Arkansas, where state officials last Friday began a monstrous eradication program in the affected area.
 

The report about a snakehead in Pickwick Lake from this site on Sunday. If you don't want to go there, it says an angler near Waterloo caught what unidentified "local wildlife biologists" identified as a snakehead and adds that the fish is being kept at a local restaurant on ice.
The Tennessee River is so vast I seriously doubt that a population of snakeheads would decimate any other species, but the bottom line is we don't need the headache or hassle. They are found in the Potomac River and aren't going away. Whether this is a freaky isolated case or the first of what may be our future with snakeheads, we'll have to see.
