No im not wrong. The redline snakehead which is the most invasive species of snakehead, cannot survive in our waters. The northern snakehead which is illegal to sell and possess in north america might survive but which is unlikely due to our salinity in our fresh water being unsustainable for the northern snakeheads needs.

I have fished and caught many snakes before. They very strong  and tough and aggressive. They can be left out of water for 1- 2 days  and they will still be alive.The flesh is pure white and taste good. BUt they are somewhat boney. The black variety will grow up to 10 lbs. But the Cambodian or vietnamese form can grow much bigger.

again you are wrong. the snakehead that is invading in the states is northern. and what do you mean by the salinity in our fresh water?
there is no salinity in our lakes and rivers. however northern snakeheads can live in brackish (which is fresh and salt water) which is found in tidal or estuary
water such as found in pitt lake. they have been found in u.s. states and cities that have much colder winters and water than we do, like like our rival chicago for instance.
