The Snakehead Contest is being incorporated into an Inland Freshwater Survey on the Volunteer Angler Creel Survey webpage. For 2013 the end-of-year random drawing will include anglers reporting snakeheads to the Anglers Log as well as anglers participating in the Volunteer Angler Creel Surveys. We encourage anglers to continue to report snakehead catches. The information is helping our biologists better understand how this invasive species increases its range.

Large Mummichog Minnow

Type: Tidal
Region: Southern
Location: Watersedge Park

I caught this minnow at Watersedge Park on a Salmon egg snelled hook. It was 5-7 inches long. Sadly she died without purpose as bait. She was belly hooked so I used her as bait. She did not yet give birth yet,which is why she died without purpose.

Q: Do common Mummichogs normally get this big? I know other MD bait fish get as big or bigger.

A: Female Mummichogs can grow to be much larger than the males as evidenced by your photograph.
