Default Snakeheads

I've seen this fish talked or mentioned frequently here. Didn't really know what everyone was talking about. Then I heard that someone found ONE in Wisconsin river and in the article it said it was released back before it was identified. Like it was really bad to release it back. So I did some homework. Found this;

What to Do if You Catch a Snakehead Fish

If you catch a snakehead, Do kill it, though, do not release it back into the water.Snakeheads are just one example of the kinds of fish that cause problems. Carp are one of the worst of the imports.Snakeheads are not considered game fish so there are no limits or seasons on them. They should hit live bait or artificials that look like little minnows since that is their major food.If you catch a strange looking fish, contact your local Game and Fish Department and have them identify it. Help keep your fishing waters clear of snakeheads and other problem fish.Thanks for watching.

So, back to killing fish if your not eating it. This article kind of puts Carp and Snakeheads in the same category.
I also came to find out that in the south they are somewhat common.

So anyone want to further explain the snakehead for me?
Do you catch them?
What do you do, release or kill?
Do you consider it a trash fish?
Are they a problem in your area?
Does it make you happy or mad when you catch one?

Do you lip them? That one's a joke, the rest I'm sincere about!
