I used to snake head fish in Florida. I used to eat them too. Delicious fish until I found out that they have parasites in the meat. The parasites are little yellow balls in the meat which look like eggs but you cut them open and it’s a worm. You can see it in the video if you pause at 20:29 and look at the 3rd fish (from left to right) on the lower portion you’ll see a small faint yellow dot. They’re about a milimeter long or so. The parasites die when you cook em but I just don’t know if I can eat them anymore. I wonder if anyone else noticed it or cared.
Hello from Malaysia. Snakeheads is an extremely favourite target fish among us anglers here. We have a few types of snakeheads here. The ones you are catching are called Kerandang or Toman Bunga in Malaysia. Very rare here due to its popularity as ornamental fish. I've never seen anyone eating bullseye snakeheads before in my country. Only through your channel I get to know they are good eating. In Malaysia (and also our neighbour Indonesia), roadside fishing for snakeheads at waterways, lakes and even gutters is a very popular favourite past time activity. We will ride our mopeds and stop by the road side for a few cast at potential spots. The popular snakehead species for table fish here is the Striped snakeheads or Haruan in Malay (Gabus in Indonesian). Look up 'casting haruan' to see loads of TH-cam videos of Haruan fishing in Malaysia. Or, look up 'pancing gabus' to see videos from Indonesia. I heard snakeheads are a problem in the USA. Searched 'snakeads usa' and came upon your channel. Subscribed.
What is the Malay name for Channa Maculata and Channa Striata. I know the common name is Haruan but have no clue about their specific names. Thank you!
@@Krush0-0in Malaysia we call the Maculata (Haruan Kobra). Extremely rare. We call channa striata, Haruan. Striata is the common snakehead. We also have Channa Limbata, known as Haruan Kedak, Lucius known as Bujuk and the popular game fish Micropeltes (Toman).
I am up here in Maryland. We have the northern snakehead. My son caught a 13.5 inch and we decided to keep it. It was the first one we have caught. He wanted to eat it so I cooked it up for him. It was delicious and for a small fish it yielded to nice fillets.
They won't be satisfied until there's no native species left because these things eat everything thing else!¡!! They kill me being so self righteous about it!!
Yes but fish and wildlife can’t expect every person to be a wildlife expert. But if you actually release new snakeheads into the water you absolutely will go to jail
We have them in Thailand living in the rice fields and we can catch them by hand. They are beautiful fish and good for eating. Very under rated eating fish!! They make a good Tom Yum Fish soup!! When the water is high they can jump out and walk on land to another body of water.
Sewer snakes are great to eat. A blast to catch too. Out of all the fish I caught while living in FL, I miss this one probably the most. Crazy fighting fish.
I am back and forth between you and Ryan. Like I told him it's great to have people to fish with. Keep the vids coming love all you guys content including Brooke.

Very good fishing, this place is fantastic has many big fish, Congratulations you are a very successful fisherman.👍🎣🥰👏👏 A hug and good fishing always!
Here in the philippines we have our own specie of snakehead fish but as time passed its very rare to catch a snakehead fish that size here. In remote places these fiahes are life saving and not considered invasive.
Vic! I love the video. I've been subbed for a while to you both and Ryan's channel, but I just saw this one for the first time. I'm going down to SoFlo soon (my parents live in Jupiter) and I'm definitely going snakehead fishing.
@15:14 - I always loved the country side of America... So green!! You can just put a chair and watch it all day!! Thank you for sharing this experience.. In fact, I was little bored with your boat adventures... Little bored of those Burrrrr Burrrrssss... Hehehe... This Ep gets 100 likes from me..
Hi Vic I was born in FL in 1957 in Brevard County I have fished all over the state last time I fished there was in 1983 I live in NC now I love seeing videos you and Ryan make I get to see areas I fished when I was young in FL and see how things have changed over the years. I do wish I could afford to come down there and fish the state again being disabled and on SSDI it will not happen any time soon may be some day.
@@billganas467 Snakeheads kill all other fish from what I know about them. They eat anything they can get in their mouth even attack humans if in the water with them.
Snakehead are like Eelpout without the eye like spots. Please look up the International Eelpout Festival in Minnesota. It's the craziest ice fishing party ever.
Origin: Channa marulioides (Emperor Snakehead) is found in rivers in southeastern Sumatra, Kapuas basin of western Kalimantan. Temperament: Aggressive. Company: Channa marulioides (Emperor Snakehead) should be kept with species smaller then the snakeheads size. At Indonesia and Malaysia, this fish have a nice price .
great to see you two! nice video from beginning to end; I really enjoy the catch , clean, and cook! I caught Brooke's July 4 clean up video but on my television...I have yet to figure how to like and comment there! best regards...
Favorite local fish in our place South East Asia. There are many varieties and species with beautiful colors. Green.blue.red.even rainbow. vast wild deep jungle lake in kalimantan borneo is where you found them. Paradise for fishing n adventure. Snakehead is the best fighter
@@LandsharkOutdoors Yeah and Blue Gabe did his about a month ago. I really like your videos, especially the cooking parts! It's a good source of inspiration to do some cooking myself. Keep up the good work✌🏽
I have never eaten"Snakehead" and probably would,except the name does not sound appetizing.If the fish was renamed,I feel sure that it would appeal to a greater audience.The Patagoinian Toothfish is now "Chilean Sea Bass".The "Slimehead is now,"Orange Roughy"and the "Asian Carp"is becoming "Copi". By changing the name,the marketability of these fish have changed dramatically.How about having a contest to see if your viewers can come up with a more creative name and thereby reducing the population of this invasive fish.The next step: Seeking approval from the federal Food and Drug Administration, which says "coined or fanciful" fish labels can be used if they're not misleading or confusing. I am always loving your and Brooke's videos!You guys rock!
What a wonderful problem to have; a beautiful fish that is great to hunt for and tastes great. The snakehead is to you Southerners what Bluegill and Browntrout are for us in California.
Yes we always want spots because when you come from another area we don’t know where it’s ok to stop or what area to travel to. Just a road name and some cross streets would be nice.
In China, I have seen a different type of snakehead. People call it "black fish". It's perhaps the best tasting freshwater fish in China. You can cook soup with a whole fish and it yields a white, milky soup, highly nutritious.
I can remember catching these at Markham Park inside off the canal going north, about 15 + years ago... didn't know what they at first. Thought they were smaller mudfish(bowfin) with strange blotches along the side of their bodies.
Your vids are very nice. I hope, that I will also have the chance to fish for them one day. Crazy to see your fish handling :D Here in Europe its all about the right fish handling. We grab em with wet hands and put em on wet unhooking mats and hold them in the water until they swim away by themselves. Seems its a big difference to most of the other parts of the world. but no judging. Keep up the good work
I didn't think you could eat them until I actually ate one and found out there's some of the best eating fish I've ever caught they taste excellent on the grill with whatever I like salt and pepper and garlic some Italian seasoning over a real slow real slow smoking flyer fire slow smoker excellent I actually think you're going to become one of the sport fish of Florida along with the knife fish I mean I don't really don't see him as in the face of species like you said they're here and they're going to stay along with the peacock bass the night fish the cichlids the Oscars they're all great fish to catch and eat
Dude wow I catch these all the time but give them away. I’d love to know some more places to catch in south Florida. I have been Lucky at a few spots in broward, none I can find in Miami (thankfully). Have u tried palm beach ?
3:30 that word is meditation where u make urself have a super prolonged ...mummm... well bust the big O without doing anything but meditation... hahahaha
Every country in Asia, especially South East Asia have so many types of snakehead fish, the motifs in their body just like tattoo, even there's beautiful snakehead fish and every colorful cost minimum $100,depend on looks of their body & they not just cheap usual tank fish. ✌
They're great eating fish, if you can get past the look. Then again, look at the Pikes and Muskies here. They don't look the part, but they sure as heck tastes good!
gonna get me some of those igloo max 150 qt coolers, maybe 2 or 3 of them, and come get me a hotel room and fish the canals this year for food ... i'll help yall with the snakehead problem
My boy really say that you can release this fish in the same water you caught it in not to long after saying the canals are usually all connected? So they can go anywhere they want, but you can’t help them lol. Maybe I missed the point
Recently people in our locality started farming Snakeheads called bral. They feed 3-4 times a day. They consume lots of food. Sacks of high protein pellets are used by farms. The Government should study and introduce law's,these snakeheads will definitely distroy the native ecosystem.
Hey My name is Winston and I am a big fan and if you are ever in the clear water area I would love to have the chance to meet you and if possible go fishing with you again big fan keep up with the great videos
Immediately after you flipped your first snake head over the guard rail, your buddy RYAN FLASHED THE SIGN OF THE DEVIL !!! ""HOW COOL IS THAT ??? I'd find better friends than that !!!
3:21 so idk if my eyes are messing with me, was that car just casually driving on the left side of the road? If so that's simultaneously both a hilariously and terrifyingly Floridian thing lol.
I feel like we time traveled back to 2016, it really had been such a long time since we've done this! 🍻
You’re a beast bro 🔥🫡

No its not you can release them now only in the same Body of water

then you remember catching bass in those same ditches , from this video - what is said about snakeheads destroying the native fish population is true
@@billganas467 Snakeheads kill all other fish from what I know about them. They eat anything they can get in their mouth even attack humans if in the water with them.
oh my god this fish is so tasty and everyone loves to eat this in our country Malaysia!
@23:23 - Look at that kid Brook!! She is so luck to have such guy !! Sending loads of blessing from India... You know how we are!! Loads of love!!
We found a huge Mayan population up here in east central area. just 45 minutes from sanford. Thats new to us up here. Keep up great work.

Thanks for the video Vic , did y’all catch any large mouth bass ?
Probably not, because the snakeheads have eaten all the bass fry.
great to see you two! nice video from beginning to end; I really enjoy the catch , clean, and cook! I caught Brooke's July 4 clean up video but on my television...I have yet to figure how to like and comment there! best regards...

Dobyns rods are awesome. Glad to see you using them.
Tantric! Epic
I respect that u love snakeheads they are gorgeous fish my favorite fish to fish for
I’m in South Korea rn and I just cooked sneakhead this morning for my meal prep.
Making me hungry Vic, congratulations on the nice fish
great bro, this is a professional angler 👍👍👍

Snakehead is the best fighter
I fish for bowfin and using a frog would really clean up the water opposed to hooks with hotdogs getting snagged.
That peculiar aftertaste is Monsanto Round-up...
it's funny how all my favorite youtubers got that Anker sponsor
I saw Taku did his video last week
@@LandsharkOutdoors
Yeah and Blue Gabe did his about a month ago.
I really like your videos, especially the cooking parts! It's a good source of inspiration to do some cooking myself.

Nice video Viktor caught one like this, on a Fort Pierce canal and cook it very good fish. from Montreal keep up the good work!
I like the way of your fishing and being logical
The ducks at 13:40 😍
Great catches and decent explanation 👍🏻✊🏻nice snakeheads. Could do with an Anker power bank for my electric wheelchair - perfection 😊
In indonesia that fish is pretty expensive, about $46 each. We not consume it, we keep as a pet fish..
We get them now in th3 great lakes great fish to catch

Some classic snakehead action
Bringing it way back
I am here because they have made their way up to Missouri now, and I wanted to know more about them, how to catch them, cook them, etc
They are delicious im in coral springs and every since I caught my 10th one and ate it now I look for them. I catch huge ones
brave man eating anything out of south florida canals.
What a wonderful problem to have; a beautiful fish that is great to hunt for and tastes great. The snakehead is to you Southerners what Bluegill and Browntrout are for us in California.
So glad u mentioned tht about how leader doesn't matter down here I get shit about it all the time
Yes we always want spots because when you come from another area we don’t know where it’s ok to stop or what area to travel to. Just a road name and some cross streets would be nice.
Nice , i usually use rubber bait like rubber frog for snake head
That meat looks so good!
Would love to give it a taste myself!
Yeah buddy love FLA freshwater.
Shout out from Boston! I love both your channels. :)
This was a blast to watch!
Hello again from your friends in San Diego California USA 🇺🇸
I love watching you catch snake head!!! I really would like to fish for those type of fish!!! Maybe some day!!!😅
If you have dog fish or grinnell in your area they are basically the same kind of fish
@@allenwilson9656 In Michigan we have dogfish and they are terrible to eat. Friends have tried cooking them numerous ways with no luck.

Saw Ryan’s vid yesterday now watching yours👍
Thanks for watching!
Nice catch bro😁👍
super cool vid, I've never caught a snake b4, hoping to soon
in asean. (indonesia, malaysia, and thailand)...
snakehead is the most favorite target fishing..
“Tannic” is used in reference to wine (that has tannin in it).

The beef has already been pulled off the shelo out in the great north west ,its no u fish and u hunt and that's a poker game for many
Arapimer is a hard headed fish too
dude you got to come up to Maryland and chase northern snakeheads!

If your in Florida you can not release them at all you must take them with you, use them as bait, or find a responsible way to dispose of it.

As a non fisher, I wouldn't mind snagging some of these. Time to go buy some cheap gear and get to it🎉
From what I heard is illegal to release Snakehead in Florida when you catch up
U can release them in the same body of water you caught it but not in another pond
@@rowanfishing2603 it should be illegal to release them in general. Still love to watch this guys videos though
@@my600_lblife Nah, research has found they aren't the threat once believed.

whats the best time there are a boat load in boca raton canals
My boy really say that you can release this fish in the same water you caught it in not to long after saying the canals are usually all connected? So they can go anywhere they want, but you can’t help them lol. Maybe I missed the point

What's the name of that spice? I couldn't catch it.
The other day while taking out my lure on snakehead it pop its mouth lng a quick bite and it was quite painfull tho
Is it ok to leave the bloodline in? I’m about to go fishing for some tommorow and was just wondering.

What else good for eating pops up in these canals? I know there's a lot of different species everywhere in there.

No you don't. You have bowfin in Ocala, no snakeheads that far north.
