That’s what was said when they showed up in northern VA but that hasn’t happened. As the snakehead population has risen so has the bass. The snakeheads don’t seem to have displaced other species and their numbers aren’t overwhelming.

Just a guess but it looks like the DMV area would be at the southern end of their native habitat which may mean they don't reproduce as much as expected. I can remember when they were first well known it was going to be a disaster...but it hasn't happened yet, at least at the scale you'd have though it would in the beginning.
