Snakehead Fish Caught In Lincolnshire, You Can Hook Your Own Monster Fish In Thailand

February 19, 2008 at 9:09 AM | by | Comments (2)

A two foot long snakehead fish was caught by an angler on the River Witham in Lincolnshire over the weekend. This "frankenfish," dubbed the gangster of the sea, is deadlier than a piranha and tends to eat everything that might be in it path--even humans.

The fish has a mouth full of razor sharp teeth, and get this, it can crawl on land and live up to four days--so it is possible that this gangster fish can chase you down out of water.

While Lincolnshire locals are hoping this snakehead capture is an anomaly and not the start of a trend, some of the world's leading angling guides actually offer frankenfish heads the opportunity to hunt down these gangster predators in the wild.

Jean Francois-Helias of Angling Adventures Thailand, is one such angler who has led plenty of snakehead captures, just in case you were looking for an adrenaline junkies/gangster fish chase of a vacation.

Fishing in Thailand

Theres far more than just snakehead to be caught when you come fishing in Thailand As a peep at this website fishing holidays will reveal!

As for fishing in Lincolnshire...can't tell you much about it, except that if someone caught a snakhead there they must of had a very long fishing rod!

Snakehead.

This sounds a highly dubious story. I dont believe a Snakehead could survive in the British climate! Our clients catch these predatory fish regularily in Thailand to 8kg's.
