Monster Fish Invade Florida’s Waters
Biologist Kelly Gestring caught a 14-pound fish in Broward County, nearly breaking an international record, and he isn’t happy about it. The species of fish Gestring caught was a bullseye snakehead, an invasive species in Florida’s freshwater systems. It can breathe air, enabling it to survive outside of water for days. They were discovered in Broward County’s waters in 2000, and haven’t been eliminated since.
