Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Is there any point to killing snakehead caught rod-n-reel anymore?

I don't know much about the NSH from an environmental impact perspective, but when you consider many of the fish we target and populate our waters now are technically invasive species, it makes me wonder if we really NEED to worry about it. Granted, there's typically an evolutionary* reason certain fish/species aren't found in certain areas, but I'm not sure what makes NSH much different than smallmouth and largemouth bass that were introduced to a large portion of our country.

*except in the state of Kansas

Hi -- I managed to catch another (small) NSH yesterday which I dispatched immediately upon landing.  After doing so, I couldn't help but think that this is really just a knee-jerk reaction vs. an actual management tool.  I've seen more NSH this year than I ever have before and I doubt they're going anywhere.  

So, is everyone just doing this because it seemed like a good idea when the problem was first recognized, or is there any good reason to continue going out of our way to kill these things vs. just turning them loose?
