Do you remember a few years back there was a bit of a panic about a nasty fish called a "snakehead" that had been illegally dumped into some rivers and lakes and was spreading quickly? I definitely recall blogging about it at the time (my archives from that period are all offline, sorry). There were even stories that the fish could survive out of water and "walk" from one body of water to another like lungfish and mudskippers and the like.
Well, proving once again that you cna always take lemons and make lemonade, the Washington Post had this feature article in their Sunday magazine about a couple of enterprising individuals who are trying to find a way to drum up a business out of sport fishing for snakeheads. First, though, they have to figure out how to catch the damn things, but once they've got that down, they're sure they can interest the hard-core sports fishing enthusiasts to have a go at it.
(Oh, and the snakeheads can't really walk out of the water. But they have spread all up and down the Potomac. I suspect they came from Washington D.C. in the first place)
