Snakeheads caught on the Patuxent River

Type: Tidal
Region: Southern
Location: Jug Bay

John Evans, a commercial waterman, caught two snakeheads using fyke nets this past weekend. The snakeheads were caught at the bottom of Jug Bay. One of them was 4 pounds and the other, about 12 inches. The 4 pounder was killed immediately. The folks at the Jug Bay Wetlands Sanctuary (http://www.jugbay.org/) took the 12 incher to kill and study.
