    Default Snakehead in OC Park lakes?

    I saw some guy pull this out of a local lake in the OC...he thought it was a snake head so he called DFG. I had to leave so I don't know what happened.

    I hope its not a snakehead!?!?! It had teeth like a snakehead...
    Does anyone know what kind of fish this is?

    That fish looks like Blinky's cousin to me.

    Someone prolly let their pet Freshwater Sculpin go and it mated with a bullhead.

    The fish was nasty...it looked sick also. It had red patches all over its belly. It's the 3rd fish I've seen come out of the lake with the red patches.

    Dude, that's got to be the all-tackle record freshwater sculpin! I wonder if he ate it or had it mounted.

    You good be right... What do I know???

    Most snakeheads I've seen have a different looking mouth than that.
    I sure hope it isn't a snakehead! That's a bad sign for whatever lake that is...
