Great video, I'm going out to blackwater tomorrow morning in Maryland, I've been trying 2 years to get one and I've tried everything, this video really really helps man, I appreciate and love the content
Happy to help Sly and thanks for the kind words brother. Good luck!
I had one great day at blackwater, went back a dozen more times and have caught one all last year. This year will be better!!!
@@babiakmp I’m waiting for fry ball season 😏
I was at blackwater today. The carp are spawning. Needless to say it was not great fishing.
@@benleonard6152 it’s rough right now. Not only are the carp and shad spawning, but snakehead are starting too as well. Gonna be a tough couple weeks.
Great content! Appreciate all the tips and insights man!
Thanks Andrew and you’re welcome brother. I hope it helps you on the water 🎣
Man that was fun to watch
Thanks!!!!
Thanks Stu! Gotta love tight quarters topwater action 🎣
i search catching snakehead using spinning setup and i found you and am enjoy many angler use baitcaster reel for snakehead now you got my subscribe keep it up
Thanks Nash. I didn’t start using a baitcaster until a couple years ago and I now use both. Not giving up my spinning reel tho 😏
Dude, as a fellow Maryland resident and avid snakehead cult member, I watch your videos like I watch tape before a match...
Lol thanks Dave 👊
That's a solid day of snakehead fishing. Love your content man. Great job!
Thanks Nilfred 🙏 Hoping I can get even half as many tomorrow, but the wind forecast has me thinking my chances aren’t great 😂
I was down through transquacking. All the splashing around me were catfish. Seen small blues doing the wild thing. Lol
The amount of carp, shad, and catfish in that area is insane now 😔
@@KambotroutFishing yep!
Great video. Next time I'll remember to turn the go pro on and get you some extra footage.
Lol, thanks bro
Good saves Steve, both snakehead and the rod, haha. Another great video. It was nice meeting you yesterday in the tournament also.
Lol, thanks Bret. It was a clown show for a few moments, but managed to recover.
Fantastic job out there. Great job not giving up. 👏
Thanks brother 👊 Took a while, but eventually put the pieces of data together and found the terrain/water I needed
Brother you make me miss fishing in Maryland
Then I’m doing something right 😏 Where you at now?
@@KambotroutFishing I’m in Corpus Christi, TX now, Saltwater fishing best I can. I lived in Annapolis 2017-2021
Holy mackerel bro... what a day! 100% hookup too... #WWSHJD. Great video as always man!
Lol thanks Scott 🙏😂
Dude this guy rocks.
Awww shucks 🥰😜 Thanks brother 👊
You sound like bob ross with your voice. Great vid. ❤😂
Lmao thanks brother.
favorite snake fisherman on youtube hands down
Thanks much Grayson 🙏👊
It's funny that you mentioned the sounds of the jumping fish and the way you learn to identify what the fish was by the way they use their tail. I was just sitting out the other day with a buddy. I heard *splish-flip-flip-flip-flip. He was like "That was a snakehead!" I was like, "Nope. Snakehead come up, and go down. In and out. Like a dolphin. Unless they're eating... and you KNOW that sound."
Lol, yup. Just takes time on the water and paying attention to your surroundings 👍
It was the MONSTER MASH *the monster mash*!!
😂😂
Dude what a day! I'm glad the snakehead gods were shining down on you! LOL
Lol thanks Mike. Had to sacrifice a small cat, but earned the gods’ favor in the end 😏
really an extraordinary day bro. agree with you, apart from sport fishing this species is also very economically valuable for consumption. its delicious meat and vitamin content in it are very beneficial for the body. my respects to you for thinking about preserving this species here, we are almost about to lose this species due to excessive fishing, because this species is very much hunted here and not preserved.
I’ll advocate for these fish here for as long as I can. They have so much potential and are an admirable and fascinating species besides.
Sorry to hear it’s going so poorly in your area brother.
@@KambotroutFishing thank so much bro 👍
Ask the mother wood duck what she thinks about snakeheads ??
NICE!!!! Just got into catching these on my paddleboard! Loving it! Where did you put in for this trip?? Thanks!
Thanks Tricks 👊
I usually don’t give exact locations, but this is a river on the eastern shore of MD, Dorchester County
The problem that I have is with all the bow fisherman that are just over fishing and killing them and not even keeping them, but instead leaving them dead in the water. My question is what is the point of it to just kill shit, all they are doing is making it harder for the people to catch them.
Some of them are def doing it just to ruin it for others. Other bowfishers are doing it because they really believe it’s the right thing.
Motivations aside, they’re ruining the fishing for others.
def not cool to not keep what you kill, but with that said, its invasive. pretty sure its not even legal to catch and release them, at any size. at least not where im at here in Virginia. im from md but idk what the rules are there. regardless, other organisms will feed on the fish so dont feel too bad about it for that at least. invasive is invasive.
@@accordingtoabe2211 Legal requirements on Snakehead vary by state, but in most cases, you’re allowed to release them immediately after catching them back into the waters in which you caught them. That’s the case in MD, DE, and VA (this was in MD).
It’s usually only illegal to possess live snakehead or to transport live snakehead (which makes good sense in my opinion).
I often harvest them, but it usually depends on whether or not I have room in the freezer or know someone who wants them.
They’re the best tasting fish in freshwater and have an excellent meat to body ratio. They’re also easy to filet, so if I need meat or know someone who does, I’ll often keep them.
With that said, I’ll release them if I don’t have a need to harvest. Many people take an issue with this because they’re labeled as an invasive species, and most fisheries managers do highly encourage their harvest.
The peer-reviewed and published science thus far has not shown invasive impact. I’ve actually done an interview series with John Odenkirk, a VDGIF fisheries biologist, in which we review the most recent science and legal requirements on the species (link below if you’re interested).
th-cam.com/video/lceYaOj8P9M/w-d-xo.html
Still, invasive impact sometimes takes several decades to manifest, so if someone does harvest intensely, I understand their position.
My personal opinion is that the degree of their impact will depend on the waters involved. In uniformly shallow waters with no established large predatory species (like Blackwater), they’ll likely have more of an impact (though I do think their impact is overblown and the snakehead scapegoated for our own impact).
In deeper waters though, they’ll likely have less of an impact, especially when those deeper waters have large, established predatory fish.
For me, they’re an admirable species, excellent parents, and incredible sportfish.
Hope this helps and thanks for watching!
@Kambotrout Fishing this is a highly insightful answer! thanks for the time and effort. i do think the impact is more likely in shallower waters if at all, and now that people have caught on to how much fun they are to catch, theyre being controlled more. ive seen researchers tag and release for information on their growth and things, but i just come from a long line of "if you hook it, you cook it."
so it being labeled as invasive isnt any problem to me, cuz i was gonna eat it anyway!
thanks for the great content!
@@accordingtoabe2211 you got it Abe and thanks for watching 👊
This is great man can't wait for my trip. What kind do you suggest? I run mostly spinner reels and s baitcaster I normally have 15 lb braid on
Thanks brother. I generally don’t use anything less than 40 pound test braid because of the heavy cover you often find them in. Sometimes you’re reeling in a 10 pound Snakehead +10 pounds of grass.
If you’re in more open water, you’ll probably be fine, but if you’re fishing heavy cover, I would go up to at least 30 pound braid.
@@KambotroutFishing that's awesome. Is using a leader a necessity??
@@cdcoffren1 in my experience, no, it’s not needed. I run straight braid and have done so in tannic and clear water without issue.
That said, if I’m fishing an area with high fishing pressure and clear water, I’d consider it, and I do have some friends who use leaders.
@Kambotrout Fishing that's what I was thinking thanks a lot man!
do a video about cleaning a snake. please.
Will do 👍
@@KambotroutFishing although it would be great to show people I would avoid the cleaning the fish videos. Seen channels get suspended for that. All it takes is one hater reporting you and one snowflake at TH-cam to suspend you after review. Seen it happen to other channels. Maybe put it on a different platform.
Nothing like being out there early in the morning.
It was beautiful brother. Man it was beautiful. Mist rolling, calm waters, and the sounds of nature.
Awesome fishing, that double up was madness! What kind of water temps did you have that day? Those pads are grown big, had to have been close to 70. Also, I'm sure you've tried them but if you haven't the KVD Poppin' Perch frogs are fantastic as well. The hook up ratio is incredible, such a soft body, it collapses away when bitten so easily.
Btw, that was definitely not 15 more minutes at the end there, you aren't fooling us, you kept fishing way longer than that haha. But who can blame you when it's that good! My wife knows all to well that I'll be back in an hour means 1.5 minimum when the bite is on lmao
Thanks Hunter 🙏👊
Water temps were high 60s and low 70s. Would’ve been higher if not for the winds.
I actually haven’t tried the KVD Poppin’ Perch Frog yet, but it’s on my radar now 😜
Lol, I def stretched that into about 40 min. Fish kept biting 😏
You ain't lying. He said we had to be off the water at 12 that day. So here I am sitting at the launch at 12 and 45 minutes later Steve finally shows up. 😂
What river is this? I live in maryland and have never found a good fishing spot
Maybe I missed it. What state are you in?
Maryland
Make the cast 😂 figure out how to get the fish out later 😂💪🏽
That’s how we do it 😁
What’s that spinning rod?
Can anyone show me a good locations for snakehead around Frederick area? Thanks.
Not many spots in your area unfortunately. You’ll generally need to drive a bit to find em.
