What is this

[Rob Albanese]

Caught this 20” 2,5 lber off of the 10th hole.
I believe it’s a snakehead. Sorry about the grass on the fish but I struggled to get his mouth open and wanted to get him back in the water. Very sharp teeth

What is it

That is a snakehead. According to the Florida fish and wildlife service they should killed and put on ice so they could see it. They are non native and invasive.
