I'm not sure what I would do with a snakehead.  I've generally throw invasives back because I feel like killing them is a exercise in futility. However I'd catch and kill if I was participating in some sort of fishing rodeo round up.  

Now if I found snakehead to be appeasing to my palate, then I'd be filling the freezer.
