A few changes to the forum

Yes, you are right they are exellent sports and eating fish, interesting, are they stocked or wild...

 

I'm pretty sure they were stocked at one time. Not sure if they still stock the ponds, snakeheads breed aggressively
and are very voracious. Here is a video of forum member Mike Alano fishing for Snakeheads at Mabinay;

The type of snakehead here are striped snakehead, good fish to catch or eat but nothing like the giant snakehead I've gone after in Thailand and Malaysia. As an American I know how folks in the US see snakehead as an invasive species, I spent so many years in Korea where they see the large mouth bass and bluegill as invasive...to the point they throw them on the shore (they prefer catfish and carp).

It is kind of odd to me as we (US) see snakehead as invasive but I've caught thousands of bass in Japan and Korea but can count on my fingers the number of snakehead I caught where snakehead are local.

Snakehead are the #1 fish I would target freshwater, with barramundi and LM bass coming in after that...though a pike taking a live frog is something to remember.
