Occoquan -
A Northern Virginia man caught a massive snakehead fish in the Occoquan River, a tributary of the Potomac River. The catch was made on May 8, and is a record-breaker, at least unofficially.
In 1999, Chris Deverso bought a giant snakehead fish for a pet. Since 2004, it has been illegal to own such fish in the US, and although Deverso was given the option to find a new home for it but was unable to do so.
