I've heard this as well but never understood how this could be possible. They eat everything in the Potomac, which presumably also contain toxins, why wouldn't they absorb the toxins as they eat and grow?

I believe the main reason why they're considered more safe is because they have an extremely fast growth rate which limits the amount of toxins found in their flesh.On Fri, Aug 14, 2015 at 10:03 AM, TurbineBlade <doubl...@gmail.com> wrote:They taste better.Gene

The snakehead immediately fled. A tourist watching kept yelling for me to go after it. I withdrew from that fight. I had a 5 wt and a net, which didn't seem like the right tools for that job.Curious, what makes snakehead OK to eat in local waters compared to bass and other fish that have limits due to toxins in the water?

Get 'em outta here!"Then this one lady accosted a fly fisherman for "tormenting" the fish via catch-and-release in DC....probably while on her way to buy a 50-pound bag of Meow Mix (now with 60% more ground horse!) to feed the feral cats behind her house.I guess I'll hang around --Gene

And actually, that's probably the time time when they are most aggressive and most easily taken on the fly.
