    Cool fish Phil! Thanks God you aren’t here. At first glance I thought it was a snakehead.

    Phil, have you permanently relocated, or are you just temporarily down south?

    Nope im still in MN

    however, i do have a FL fishing license. Im blessed as my job allows me to travel and i probably go to FL about 6 times a yr.

    Pug, some of the lakes around here do have Snakeheads and they are definitely on the List. mite chase them this wkend, but its hard not to fish the ocean instead.

    Make sure you pull your plug and wash behind your ears before you come back to MN.
