Latest US sighting of snakefish may be a hoax

Officials think that the two men who claimed to have caught a pair of Dreaded Chinese Snakehead Walking Fish may have actually bought them at a seafood market or pet store. Of course, the fact that you can still buy live DCSWFs in a pet store is a problem, but the circumstances here were a little suspicious. Nobody's ever caught DCSWF in the lake (a fairly substantial one) before, and these guys catch two in one day? On the other hand, maybe these guys are the Richard Jewells of the DCSWF saga.

(Note: the story uses the word "Dreaded" to refer to the DCSWF.)
