The correct term is Trout Wienie. When I first started visiting the Florida Keys I got called that all the time by the tarpon guys and wreck fisherman until they saw I could cast and they cut me some slack.

BTW -- One of the things that I cherish about NSH (if there is such a thing) is that it really throws a screwball into the mindset of sissy fly fishermen. Asking them to catch, decapitate, throw a headless corpse onto the bank, kneel down to allow blood to rinse off of their chest waders, etc. forces them to see fishing for what it really is -- a highly predatory activity, and not too far removed from primitive humans associating with African rivers, hoping to kill medium-sized mammals (often newly birthed, vulnerable young) with sharpened sticks.--Just thinking about one of the trout sissies landing a NSH for the first time as they stand there conflicted, hating themselves gives me more pleasure than I can put into words ;).Embrace the survival instincts wired into your DNA folks -- if you need a good knife, I'd recommend the reliable (and safe) Buck 110 folder.Gene

The idea is that these opportunities essentially create a situation where there is now a reason (at least for some) to keep them around. Well, and also the "wanton waste of game" laws are problematic.Clearly, management of these species is somewhat different -- I just thought it was interesting to think about.I was hoping to do the NSH tournament this year! I've been out of town for the last 2, but should be here this year.Gene

Subject: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} National Geographic Snakehead Article--Joseph Love of the MD DNR spoke with National Geographic in an article published last week about Snakeheads around the DC metro area. Nothing revolutionary but still good to see attention from such a global brand.Featured a rather graphic portion about the difficult process of "euthanizing" these abominations:"We encourage people to serrate it, remove its guts or gill arches, or decapitate it (the fastest way). To subdue it you can knock it on its head but you're unlikely to kill it that way because it has a very thick skull."
