Regulations regarding take of snakeheads 2023-2024
Anglers are encouraged to catch and remove snakeheads but will require a snakehead stamp in addition to their current licenses. This will allow the possession of 5 snakeheads per day per person. An additional 5 snakeheads can be kept for an additional fee. Snake heads can be caught with conventional legal “tackle” but if anyone attempts t catch them while they are on land then a land landing permit must be obtained for an additional fee.

I guess that means they are tasty?

Please educate me. Why is there a limit for a species that is invasive? Same question goes for nutria I guess.

It's astounding that the government and even scientists will tell us an invasive species can't be eradicated yet the same people will tell us man has been the ultimate force in eradicating species to extinction by slaughtering species and/or destroying their habitat.
Certainly feels like the government is an impediment.

Yeah my comment was humor on how I expect the ldwf will approach the issue now that it’s here.
In case anyone else still don’t realize it I made up that statement as a joke it’s not a copy from the ldwf regulations page!!!

Somebody said they taste better than catfish. White flakey meat.

They are supposed to be a great eating fish.

It amazes me that we are the most powerful country in the world and we are getting our arse kicked by an invasive fish!

They have them in the creeks that feed into the Chesapeake. My BiL fishes for them and says they are quite tasty. You can sometimes pick them up on the road after a rain. They can live out of water for a while.

They are. Fight like hell too. Overall great sport fish. They haven’t had near the negative affect in Virginia that was expected when they first arrived. Native species have done a decent job of keeping the population in line. There have been a few cases where people have been arrested for introducing them to new areas because they are such a great sport fish. I wouldn’t recommend doing that but if they happen to appear where you fish they aren’t as bad as they may seem.

Arent as bad in what way?
Just curious because they terrorize most ecosystems they're put in

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.

It is ridiculous. They are supposed to be really good eating but it seems like it'd be a good idea to wipe them out if possible.
They have a bounty on an invasive species in Washington State, squawfish (there is apolitically correct name but I don't remember it). The regulations are RIDICULOUS. One hook per license, no baiting, no netting, size and bad limits etc. Yet they pay folks to catch the damned things. They are not good eating but if they were serious about getting rid of them they'd pay the bounty on any and all brought to scale and they'd be shed of them. Even with the regulations there are 10 or more people paid over $50K a year catching the things...they provide a list of all payouts and the outdoor pages of local papers print that information. They also can't be caught except for daylight hours and during certain seasons. Supposed to be damaging the salmon populations and normally you can't look at a salmon without getting ticketed. I am sure fisheries biologists have their reasons and they know more than me but it doesn't make any sense.

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.
