yes they are invasive,,, they are also a superior game fish, and from what I have read about them, they are also one of the best eating fish available in fresh water. There must be a reason so many members here respect them.. By the way, Smallmouth Bass , Rainbow Trout, Brown Trout, Lake Trout ,Walleyes, Channel Cats, Landlocks, are also not native to most of NJ . They are all predators just like the Snakehead, and I dare say are probably not as good eating, yet they are welcome in NJ, and blessed by the state DEC For every game fish a Snakehead eats, it probably eats 20 small rough fish, minnow, or small sunny or perch, just like a Pickerel or LMB...... bob
