Haven't seen a wild Snakehead in AL yet, but have caught several Bowfin(AKA Grinnel) locally. Last one I caught was 3-4# and absolutely destroyed a spinner bait! I am familiar with the fish-I spent 4 years in SEA during VietNam and GIs called it the "walking catfish" because during monsoon flooding it was routinely seen flipping across roads and paths from one ditch to the other. I was introducing my sister-in-law to Thai cooking about 6 years ago in Birmingham, Al and was very surprised to see a tank with a number of live snakeheads for sale! The Thais called them Pla-Duke, and so did the store owner.
