- I may have started this day making a series of mistakes, but the Snakehead were feeding so heavily that I was still able to land some NICE fish.
My buddy Jared also got his new PB! It was a TANK of a Snakehead. Checkout the video for the fights and tips and have a good one!

is that a Shimano DC? sounds amazing! amazing catch too! keep it up!
Yessir. First baitcaster I've ever owned, and one of my most reliable. Can't beat the sound either lol
How come i have not seen any snakehead this year? Last year around this time, my creek was filled with snakehead.
Could be a couple things. If your creek hasn’t had some underwater grasses grow in yet (like hydrilla) they may be waiting on that grass to come in and are hanging elsewhere until it does.
The other option may be that bowfishers have been hitting your waters hard. Those boats will take out dozens, close to a hundred or more a night.
@@KambotroutFishing definitely bow hunters cause there has been a ton of grass for weeks now
Your reel look cool are you going to give always ❤ I’m so in love with it 😍
I tried going for snakeheads today and it was brutal. Hours of no fish aside from a couple bass. Is it because they're still spawning? When should the bite start up again?
It could really be a lot of factors, so it’s hard to say. Were the skies clear or did you have cloud cover? What was the tide as well?
In most areas, the spawn is either wrapped up, or wrapping up, so I doubt that was the issue, but you never know with Snakehead.
@@KambotroutFishing Skies were kind of cloudy but plenty of sun. We started at low tide but after a few hours it went high tide. I guess we were fishing too close to the main river because the tide rose around 5 feet and I heard snakeheads don't like it too drastic like that.
I like to use a Texas rigged swimbait instead of a treble hook, seems when they get on it's harder to spit it.
I’ve used them in the past for swimbaits and I agree: much more reliable hooksets and fish landed.
Man been watching all your old vids nd bought a couple meps nd man do those things work also have to say you have easily become one of my fav youtube channel
Hey thanks Gino 👊 The Mepps is my #1 survival lure too. Put me in the wilderness with only one lure, that’s it.
Thanks for watching brother. Can’t wait to show some trips I have planned for this year
Is the eastern or western shore?
Western
River Monsters!!!!
Brother, couple of the ones I lost felt like TANKS. And I didn’t snag those ones 😏
I would appreciate it very much if you tell me the location. I am looking for where I can fish this type of fish. I really like this fish. Thank you
It's a very very good spot don't give it up to all the others...
Won’t ever see me dropping names on small waters and I’ll blur landmarks where I notice them 👍
Nice video bro , same for me , good job 👍
Thanks brother. That Mepps is a killer.
Another great video
That spot is pure gold!
Thanks, Stu! Tonight the spot was excellent. Honestly, though, there are some days I go here and get straight up skunked.
@@KambotroutFishing yeah well that’s all spots I guess
I only see it when it’s on fire right
Great content, but tried making a drinking game out of it, everytime you said Bro!
Passed out 4 times before I could finish the vid, and now my liver hurts!
Looking fwd to.the next one!
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Wow , big fish
Thanks Loan. Jared’s was a MONSTER
Do snakehead bite in light rain, I'm thinking of going out now
In light rain, absolutely. I’ve had some very good days for em in light rain.
Another epic video and congrats to Jared on that 34" beast! Mepps for the win!
Thanks Scott! Mepps couldn’t be beat for imitating those small minnows. Couldn’t believe the size of Jared’s fish when it first came out of the water!
@@KambotroutFishing It was a tank for sure! Wowzer!
Great after work trip bro! Congrats to Jarod on that monster. Mepps was putting in work as always!
Thanks brother. I know I don’t have to tell you about the Mepps 😏
If any of y’all in the comments are looking for some more examples of the multi-species effective of Mepps with some great fishing video, checkout Orange 22 Fishing!
Great video! I can not tell you how many times a Mepps has changed my day, whether it be Loch Raven, Pretty Boy, way up north in the Bay or the magothy in a kayak. Multi species Swiss Army knife bait right there man, keep up the awesome content!
Couldn’t have said it better myself, Andrew. Thanks!
Nice what color Mepps u like
What’s the location?
Awesome as always. Funny, cause I snagged one the other day with a mepps.
Lol, if they’re gonna short strike me twice, they have it coming 😏
Are they spawning yet? I’m going out tomorrow, even though weather isn’t the greatest and hoping their still biting.
Some are starting to spawn, but not all. I’ll be going out too. May the fish gods bless us both
That mepps was key in matching the bait. It's the only thing they wanted.
That small bit of flash and small profile was key to matching those small minnows
incredible explosion, unfortunately lots of monster bites were missed. congrats to your friend, great spot bro 👊
Yup, mind was not right. Took me a while this day to start setting the hook correctly. Didn’t take Jared long though lol. I just feel blessed when I can even see a fish like that in person.
Hello, I'm Angler who lives in Korea I'm leaving a comment because I have a question As far as I know, in the United States, if you catch a Northern Snakehead species, you can't let it go, but has the law changed legally????
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!
I applaud you for the manner you presented your question without just assuming and throwing hate comments. Need more people like you searching for answers to the unknown.
Great video as always! I'm so happy to see people catching and releasing big dragons nowadays. I feel that it's becoming almost casual to catch a 10 Pound + snakehead. It was not the case 10 years ago. Hopefully I'll go back to the east coast someday and catch a giant dragon. Keep the videos coming brother!
The size and numbers of Snakehead nowadays really ebb and flow based on the area you’re in and how much pressure it receives.
Some of my old areas are only shadows of their former selves in terms of size and quantity, but other new areas are doing well. It really just comes down to how well known an area is and how much pressure it’s been receiving of late.
Please don't add too many movie clips.
Yyyyyyyooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pig!!
Was a MONSTER bro. Love seeing those giant head shakes coming out of the water
Only 100 👍. Who's slacking
Lol. They better be fishing.
How come you don’t kill them ? Jw

@@KambotroutFishing thanks for all the info my friend .. I was going to start getting into snake head fishing … heard we have a good population in southern jersey and in the dnr canals .. that’s what I’ve heard , excellent eating . Love the fights that the stripers and blues produce by me in central nj . Only have one freshwater setup and obviously a ton of salt … going to purchase another rod and reel specifically for snakehead
