  • Washington DC is known for fishy business, but not like this. Chef Kevin Gillespie joins accomplished kayak angler Kristine Fischer to hunt down invasive blue catfish and the hated snakehead in the Potomac River and its surrounding swamps. They’ll find out how detrimental these fish really are to the environment, as well as how they taste.

Bass have been doing just fine here as well! As long as they are not introduced in closed bodies of water I have never seen a problem with them and I believe they should be declared a gamefish in our state already.

    My old stomping grounds. It is amazing the blue cats overtook the river in such a short time. I was fishing there in the late 80's and they were already dominant. We'd still catch channel cats but the big catfish were always blues. And we caught some hogs. The bowfin I think was actually in the Potomac before they were "discovered" in 2004. In the mid 90's we caught what we thought then were bowfin a fish that is remarkably similar to the snakehead in appearance. We would catch them while fishing the hydrilla beds for bass. We didn't catch a lot of them but they would pound a spinnerbait dropped into a hole in the hydrilla mats often enough to be interesting.
