The Return of the Snakehead Fish

Is the dreaded Snakehead fish poised for a comeback? After the predatory fish caused a scare in a Crofton Pond a couple years back, scientists have found a Northern Virginia tributary of the Potomac river "swimming" in them – just a hop, skip and a flop into fishing nets in Maryland. Officials are somewhat stumped on how to defeat the fish and have formed a task force to come up with a plan.
