David, what is the first fish image. It is long and slender. Nice collection of catches.

This one? This is what has long been known as a Northern Studfish, one of the larger members of the topminnow family. It recently underwent some genetic testing that detected geographically distinct populations, and so now this one has been renamed Disjunct Studfish. Weird name, right?

The first Northern Snakehead was reported in Missouri in 2023. There’s been a few since then. My buddy caught the first flyrod Snakehead in Arkansas a couple years ago, I was the 2nd person to catch one there on fly. And I believe this one to be the first caught on fly in Missouri.

Those are awesome fishes. Most of them remind me of fish I have caught in the Pecos River in southern New Mexico in the 60s and 70s.
