And as for nature keeping them balenced, they arn’t part of the nature there so it’s far from being part of nature.

Well how are they breeding like mad if the fry are getting eaten? the native fish are suffering more than the snakeheads. As pointed out in this vid the snakehead is good at hiding in small caves making it more easier for the fry to survive than the normal shaped fish.

actually the native fish eat the snakehead fry as a replacement of the food the adult snakeheads eat. nature always keeps things balanced no matter what. those idiots are just killing everything out of stupidity.

There is better ways of doing it insted of killing everying in the lake.

They might not be able to kill the big ones but they sure can stop the fry from growing up so yes they can eliminate them.

Why kill all the fish in the lake? In England we had a fish problem and we electrifyed the canals just enouph to knock the fish out and then you just scoop up the ones you don’t want in there. Oh yeah it’s the American way to just kill everything isn’t it.

this is stupid.
September 26th, 2009 at 2:23 am
These people know what their doing unlike y’all so give the scientists some slack.
September 29th, 2009 at 8:57 am
arent snakeheads edible?? why dont they just fish for them and eat the fuckers??? plus i bet a snakehead puts up more of a fight than a bass and it get bigger too.
americans can be so fucking dumb -.-
September 30th, 2009 at 1:44 pm
aww u guys are fucking idiots you are killing bass and catfish the two most saught after fish in the world basically and y would u put a bass in a tank with a fish that has teeth like a fucking pirana

u assholes are so fucking stupid. snakeheads cant eliminate bass. they can only become dominant species of the lake and nothing more. and u idiots are willing to poison the lake and kill all your precious bass just to get rid of a few snakeheads. u guys are fucking stupid. your gonna destroy the native fish yourself without the help of snakeheads. u idiots are the real problems here.

these idiots are overeacting cuz some dumbass scientist from maryland said they can live out of water for 4days but in reality, only 2-7 hours. and they cant walk on land. how often do u see fishes walking on land looking for a new pond or lake? anyways how does it affect u assholes even if bass is destroyed? u cant go fishing anymore? the bass would rather die than be constantly hooked out of the water again and again by a bunch of hicks
October 5th, 2009 at 5:29 pm
is it possible for snakeheads to adapt to saltwater? o.o cuz i wouldnt want to eat snakehead fish for the rest of my life
October 8th, 2009 at 8:26 pm
oh my god… these DEC officers are stupid as hell. the video from youtube is a freaking giant snakehead it is not a northern snakehead. sometimes i really wonder how these morons get their jobs…
October 10th, 2009 at 7:41 am
i mean come on man…its just a fish
October 13th, 2009 at 4:52 pm
forgive me if i’m wrong but surely it would have been better to ‘electric net’ the lake ie: run an electric current through the water and that will only stun the fish then you can put the ‘good’ fish back unharmed and remove the snakeheads,true it wont remove all of them but it would keep the numbers down poison seems like taking a sledgehammer to crack a walnut
October 15th, 2009 at 8:30 am
why don’t you move to asia and be happy with your beloved snakeheads in their natural habitat
October 17th, 2009 at 9:47 pm

October 20th, 2009 at 3:12 am
