These snakeheads can breath air so they can exist outside water for a period of time. Once fully grown they dont have many enemies other than man. Most of the places where they have shown biologists killed off the lake in order to remove them.
That's kind of where I'm at. I don't think bounties will solve everything or all of the problem(s) but I think they can be a part of the solution. Properly administered of course.
