Dear lord. Is there a tag to warn users that a story may give them nightmares? That thing is going to haunt my dreams. Good story though. --Wolfrider 03:58, 14 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Incredibly, when the 'Frankenfish' began making headlines in 2002, a fishing friend of mine from Baltimore, Maryland rumaged an old shoe box of pictures containing one of him when he was barely a teenager, taken some 30 years ago . He was then holding up a proud catch of 2 fish. As difficult as it was for me or others to be absolutely certain by the old photo, our concensus was they were indeed Snakeheads, and a local news broadcaster agreed. Bob declared during the resulting news broadcast that the species should be known as "Return of the Frankenfish"! lol, the saying didn't take hold.
At the time his Dad made him throw the fish away, but Bob said anything else he caught "bigger than a butter bean" they ate. -Edbrown05 05:17, 14 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
