I'm going to beat him to it. That is the infamous Snakehead. Initially brought to the US as an Aquarium fish, and the larger ones released into the wild. Invasive species indeed. The spot on the tail gives it away, along with the shape of it's tail. It is often 
with the Bowfin, which we have plenty of in our local rivers and lakes.
Our local DNR requests that if a snakehead is caught, it is not released, and that they are contacted and provided the exact location it was caught, and the remains turned over to them. At a minimum, DNR should be contacted, the fish tossed on the bank to die or dispatched in some way. No live snakehead should ever be released back into the water.
You made that one too easy Paul, let me see if I can dig up a good one.......
