Earlier this past week, a Shoals area fisherman thought he had hooked a large striped bass while fishing the Tennessee River near Waterloo, AL. His catch was no stripe, however.
What was reeled in was a fish unlike anything Richard Anderson had ever seen. Local wildlife biologists have tentatively identified the fish as a Ganna marulius, or Snakehead fish. The speciman is currently being kept on ice at The Harbor Restaurant in Florence.
Snakeheads are a food and aquarium fish native to Southeast Asia but are also considered an 'invasive' species, and are causing trouble for sport fishermen in other parts of the United States.
