[jesse justice]

Not on fly, but thought the snakehead hunters might appreciate this.

I'm confused... was there a Snakehead over 18 pounds caught in MD last year?

Yes there was one caught over 18 pounds. This story is irritating me for that very reason. Also I have seen several caught that appear to be much larger than the one featured (including one I caught). I think NBC is having a really slow news week or something.

According to the IGFA, the world record still stands at 17 lb, 4 oz. There aren't specific line class or fly rod records for it (yet), just a simple all tackle. The snakehead that was caught last year was rejected as a record because proper witnessing and measurement protocols were not followed.

Well that's depressing. I guess I should have been calling around to news stations and whatnot when I landed mine in November :(
