A massive, record-breaking fish has been pulled from a South Florida

That's because the 14 pounds, 3 ounce fish is a bullseye snakehead, an
eel-shaped, freakish-looking invasive species that Florida Fish And
Wildlife Commission officials certainly weren't hoping to find growing
quite so fat in Broward County's C-14 canal.

FWC staffer Murray Stanford was electrofishing for snakehead -- a
technique used by biologists in which a weak electric current
temporarily stuns fish to make collection possible -- when he pulled up
the whopper of an unwelcome guest.

Why does Maryland have a $200 bounty on those fishes.

Redistribution of wealth.
