A fisherman at a park lake caught a northern snakehead, the same invasive species of voracious fish found in 2002 in a pond in Anne Arundel County, the state Department of Natural Resources announced Wednesday.....More than 1,000 juvenile snakeheads and six adults were found in the Crofton pond, all traced to a Maryland man who discarded two fish after buying them live in a New York market. State officials sprayed a fish poison in the 4-acre pond to kill the entire population

1. In Wheaton Regional Park...

That's such a beautiful spot. I hope they don't have to kill the pond to get rid of them....... The lake is close to at least one creek that ultimately empties into the Potomac.

These snakeheads are a serious menace!

2. Interesting...

A few weeks after Sci-Fi Channel's release of "Snakehead Terror", this comes up. What's really interesting is that officials also sprayed fish poison in a lake to kill them off--but it didn't quite work. Some idiot dumped HGH (human growth hormone) into the lake in vast quantities, hoping to make some really big fish.

He did. :)

But they were all Snakeheads.

Those fellas are nasty, even outside of Sci-Fi.
