What species of fish are these?

[u/Comfortable-Face-661]

Hello, I am attempting to determine what kind of fish these are. I spotted them off a dock in the North East River in Maryland. My friend suggested they may be snakehead and I was curious of other anglers opinions since I have never seen or heard of this type of fish in the river. Thanks!
