    Looks like a freshwater sculpin to me. But that thing is huge if it is!

    That second pic that Matt posted is from the Snakehead 500 race that is held every fall in Atlanta Georgia.
    They race them 500 feet and then they eat them once they have all crossed the finish line.

    See the mouth is what makes me say it isn't a snakehead... Snakeheads have one that seems to stretch farther to each side... The sculpin's is smaller and actually had what looks like lips, snakehead not so much... But like I said wtf do I know...

    After seeing the sculpin' pic I would have to concur..that is the fish that I saw. That little one Matt is holding is kinda cute and cuddly....the one I saw was nasty and ugly.
    The question is, how did it get there? and are they a threat to the lake?

    "Lips" for sure...when I was trying to open its mouth (with hemostats) I had trouble finding it because the "lips" threw me off!

    It looks like a really big skulpin to me. Snakehead fish look a lot different.
