My brother-in-law is almost positive he had one hooked in Grand Lake, not the basin one, the one just off the Mississippi above 3 rivers. He has fished all his life and has caught many grinnels. he said this was different. It went air borne and wasnt the drab green like a grinnel. It broke him off before he could get it to the boat. July 4th weekend.

I've seen a lot of snakehead claims in LA, but they all turned out be choupique.

Not in Louisiana but ppl bowfish the shite out of them in the chesapeake region. They are always having snakehead tournaments and local retaurants sell the shite out of some snakehead sammiches. They are good eatin.

Only one I've seen was in St. Tammany, when I was working, and it was walking on the shore.

No clue man. All I know is that it is illegal to transport or possess them in Arkansas.
