In the past 3 weeks I have seen 4 snakeheads in various parts of woodbury creek. All fish were between (est.) 15-24", and were were curious enough to get so close I could definately tell they were snakeheads. after speaking with a few other anglers and a landowner by the creek, I have heard that at least 3 were caught and killed prior to my sightings. I spent a lot of time carp fishing there last year and didn't see or hear of one...all of a sudden they are everywhere.. Its just amazing that in one season there are that many adults showing up..
I was jogging along the Manyunk Canal trail when I spotted a school of tiny red fry in the water. I stopped to watch as a couple sunfish tried to eat and when they got close a bigger parent fish would chase them off. At first I thought it was a bass, but after several observations, I knew that bass do not wake the water and swim in an s shape like a musky or barracuda.
I didn't think of it until I caught the River Monsters episode on giant snakeheads. There is no doubt in my mind that snakeheads now have spread to other waters in Philly.
