I would have taken a rock to its ugly skull and then tossed it in the weeds for the raccoons. Those damn things eat everything, and now that they are in the northern Susquehanna river, the walleye have totally disappeared. Gone without a trace, now that the flatheads are here. I am sure there are other reasons that contribute,but I do know that when the flatheads showed up, walleye disappeared as well as good size smallmouth. Coincidence?... Maybe, but I doubt it.

Maybe with any luck the Flatheads will eat the Snakeheads and Common Carp.
