Caught this a couple of weeks ago off Hole #11. Sorry about the grass but I had to wrestle him to the ground ! Here is what my friend sent me
Wow…they can live on land… Snakehead murrel, Channa striata (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Channa_striata), Java, Indonesia Snakeheads can become invasive species and cause ecological damage because, in many areas to which they are not native, the absence of natural enemies makes them an apex predator. Not only can they breathe air, but they can also survive on land for up to 4 days, provided they are wet, and are known to migrate up to 400 m (1/4 mi) on wet land to other bodies of water by wriggling with their bodies and fins. National Geographic has referred to snakeheads as "fishzilla"[6] and the National Geographic Channel (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Geographic_(U.S._TV_channel)) reported the "northern snakehead reaches sexual maturity by age two or three. Each spawning-age female can release up to 15,000 eggs at once. Snakeheads can mate as often as five times a year. This means in just two years, a single female can release up to 150,000 eggs."
I was then told it was a bowfin https://myfwc.com/wildlifehabitats/...t=The bowfin is the only,halo on the tail fin
I am going with FISHZILLA becasue it sounds more Ominous !!!!
