    My English buddy has a nice 15 acre pond full of many species. In his pond there is a 15+ lb. Giant Snakehead. I never realized how ferocious these Snakeheads were until he showed me these pictures of a 5 lb. Silver Carp that was caught there. The guy was reeling it in when a Snakehead grabbed the nice Silver. Esox have sharp layered teeth but the teeth on these things are single layered built for ripping flesh. I don’t even wash my hands in his pond anymore.

    Hey, this could be a Silver Carp solution: Plant Snakeheads. lol

    Yep, not washing hands in the water makes perfect sence. I’d keep my feet out of the water also.

    Problem is the Walleye, Bass and other gamefish would soon look like this too…

    I’m not serious about that; just a little humor hence the “lol” at the end meaning, “laugh out loud.”

    I would not swim in these waters over here. I found another picture of a Snakebite. My buddy Francois with a Jungle Perch casualty.
