I mean, it's up against an opponent 1/4 it's weight, and bass are very good swallowers. I think it's plausible (not guaranteed but on the table) for the bass to rush in, overpower and swallow the snakehead to win.

I think it's plausible (not guaranteed but on the table) for the bass to rush in, overpower and swallow the snakehead to win. The bass is going to swallow a fish longer than itself? No. Not to mention the fact that the Snakehead, being fast and powerful itself, will be able to fight and screw up the bass if it does go into a headon confrontation. Once it begins to bite the bass the fight is over. The snakehead will be doing the overpowering here. |

Yeah, my bad. You're right.
Snakehead deffo wins this, then. Maybe some kind of invasive cichlid is closer.

The butterfly peacock bass has stronger jaws than the Northern Snakehead but the latter’s slicing bite can still inflict damage. Other factors like aggression and agility also comes into play.

Some or all of those are probably invasive in Florida.
I think they all may make good matches.

Wolffish, hoplias Dovii cichlid Black pirahna Wallago catfish Hydrocynus vittatus Only one cichlid out of all that
Hoplias wolffish is a 60/40 in its favor Dovii is 0/50 BP is 50/50 Wallago is 90/10 Tigerfish is 90/10

Might be a bit closer than that; AFAIK they are similar to peacock bass in terms of weaponry, which is to say not the best |

kekistani Never mind, i read giant snakehead. Yea, wallago may be too much for a northern but everything else still stands as a good matchup, maybe even hydrolycus armatus as well for giant though

Comparing the weaponry of the Wallago to the Peacock bass is like comparing a cat to a pitbull. They do? I have no issue believing this, but I thought they only had small teeth and gulped small fishes |
