This is the “Northern Snakehead” and has wiggled its way from Africa to at least 10 of our wondrous States.
If you see or catch one kill it then run it over before burning the remains, the amphibian eats birds, fish and snakes. I don’t know if it’s edible or if the skin can be tanned.lol

Was it a tough fish for your son to land Mike? Looks like it would put up a hell of a fight.

We have them here in South Carolina as well. I keep link to fish ID page on my phone so I can verify the bowfin (similar in many aspects) we catch in rivers a lot are not one of these bad boys. Quick look at pic does the trick. Never caught one and hope I don't. Regulation here is to kill and turn over to DNR to help track spread.

Northern snakehead are originally from eastern Russia, China, and the Korean peninsula where they're considered an important food fish. I live in northern Virginia, and the Chesapeake watershed, esp. the Potomac, has become its primary domestic habitat; they're everywhere here! Originally spotted in a pond in Crofton, MD in 2002, their population just exploded exponentially. Recent fish counts by the VA Dept. of Wildlife Resources have shown that 20 years in, they haven't really impacted the numbers of native species at all as originally thought. That said, they're really fun to catch, put up more of and a longer fight than bass, and they're the 2nd best tasting fish I've ever eaten, and I used to be in the kill 'em all! camp (Hawaiian Opah is my all time favorite). Creamy white filets, texture is somewhere between flounder and halibut, not fishy tasting or smelling at all when cooking. Breaded and fried, they actually taste like Chick-Fil-A nuggets. Virginia law used to say kill them immediately after catching. Now that it appears they're pretty much here to stay, the law now says you can release them after catching but must kill them immediately if you plan on keeping. Don't let the name and appearance bias you, they're unbelievably tasty!

Where are the Bowfin? Asian Carp are now up to pool 6 at Winona Mn. and LaCrosse Wi. These are the fish that jump out of the water to smack fisherman and boat drivers in the face, very dangerous, not tasty, shit fish.
