Dude, you are captivating to watch! You have so much enthusiasm and energy. You are a fantastic speaker. Fast but not too fast, and your annunciation is great. You are like a baseball sports announcer with all the dead air edited out. Well done, sir.
HBD Buddy I fish because of you my friend Bob From New York now lives In FL never fished in New York came to Florida fish in freshwater ponds lakes rivers because of you thank you
I caught a snakehead at Little Seneca yesterday, had no clue what is was until I found your video. Got a great photo, thanks for sharing your video and happy belated bday!
Clean em up, salt pepper and a dusting of corn starch and deep fry , wash em down with cold beer ( Repeat) at least 3 times 👍🏼 do often to deplete fish population....
@@brandonhenry9846 eating them is fine people here toss them on shore to bake in the sun thinking they are invasive when they are really native bowfin not snakeheads
I’m 65 years old, I worked in a pet store when I was in my 20s, we sold snake heads back then. No one would have thought they would be turned loose in public waters.
New subscriber! My fiancé and I love your videos. They’re also oddly calming, like watching Bob Ross! Your enthusiasm and detail in what you’ve caught regardless of size, (or species in this case!), just make us smile! Keep it up and keep fishin!!
I live in South Florida, and we don’t have the HUGE invasion of snakeheads like we did in my area, but they’re still out there. Floater frog lures get them. Freaking delicious fish, and they get really big here. All bull’s.
There is a difference between an introduced species, like bass and trout, as opposed to an invasive species that out competes the local fish species, like snakeheads and blue cats do. While I agree that they do not seem to be the environmental threat they were advertised to be, over a period of decades they could very well do severe damage to gamefish populations. It remains to be seen if they begin to takeover in the local lakes to the point like they have on Maryland's eastern shore where that is beginning to happen. Think I'll probably have to go out and see if I can help stop them from doing that a bit. They are supposed to be very good eating.
@@davidmorgan7586 It is kind of strange they got into that lake. They can travel short distances across land wriggling like a snake, so it's not a surprise they got from the C and O canal into the Potomac river, or from streams, creeks and lakes from places near Blackwater Refugee where they became well established. But Seneca lake is a good distance from any other body of water. Maybe eggs or fry travel in bilge on boats that are used in the river and then launched there?More likely it's the same way they got introduced in the first place, someone had them in an aquarium or something, and they got too big for it so they just let them go.
@@davidmorgan7586 It is what it is. They guy probably didn't know any better. But he should have. Look whats happening everywhere, especially in places like Florida with all the invasive species taking over, like the pythons. At least you can eat the snakeheads.
@@SharingTheOutdoors I FEEL THE STATE AND THE PEOPLE WHO USE OUR GREAT OUTDOORS TO PUT A LITTLE MORE EFFORT AT CLEANING UP THE MESS MADE BY OTHER PEOPLE I THINK HERE IN FLORIDA THEY ARE PAYING PEOPLE TO HUNT THE PYTHONS BUT WHAT HAPPENS WITH THEM ONCE THEY ARE PAID FOR ARE THEY DESTROYED BUT AS IT IS WE NEED MORE PEOPLE TO KILL THESE FISH AN SNAKES IF WERE GOING TO MAKE A DIFFERENTS I WATCHED A VIDEO WERE A YOUNG GUY LET A SNAKEHEAD GO AFTER HE LANDED IT THE FISH WAS OVER 28 IN AND WAS A FEMALE JUST PLAIN STUPID IVE SAID ENOUGH BYE BYE
Happy belated Birthday! Snakehead have received a lot of bad press over the years. Studies show that they appear to coexist well in the Potomac, but it is a different type of ecosystem. Blue catfish the biggest threat. Being in a lake could be a completely different result. They just started doing studies in Blackwater. It will be interesting to see the results. I've become addicted to Snakehead fishing. They are fun to catch and are delicious too eat.
Hey Cornell! First of all, I wish you a happy happy birthday! My buddies and I always love watching your videos, always such a wholesome experience. Thanks for making these videos, it's always enjoyable to watch your newest upload!
Glad to see I'm not the only one that goes fishing on my birthday or any other chance I get fishing is definitely my drug of choice the only time I can escape all my stress of every day Life happy birthday keep fishing
I caught one in Lansing Iowa 9 years ago and it was the nastiest thing I've ever put in the net - threw it in the live well and called DNR had no idea what it was and they told me - kill everyone you catch.
First off Happy B-day and Fathers Day!! But man... I didn’t believe there were snakeheads in little Seneca when we saw the sign at the boat ramp but I knew you would catch one eventually and film it for us so thanks Cornell
New to the channel and now am a subscriber. Great fishing videos! I just lost my chatterbait the other day so I'm going to look into those Finch Nastys!!
Awesome video and Happy Birthday! It has been at least 15 years since I fished Black Hills. Do they still have that grass problem? Couldn't use anything but a top water with out getting snagged in the grass.
The DNR posted warnings of this fish up here in Wisconsin (mainly lake Winnebago), however, they can't reach any kind of extreme lengths because of the brutally cold winters up here. Somebody caught one on the Wisconsin River a few years back. The northern pike would've had that thing for lunch.
happy bday n as someone who fishies the potomac river “mattawoman creek” all the time i believe that the snakehead is one of the best thingz to ever happen to the potomac going there to catch bass n snakehead itz a great time
How have I not seen your videos before? I live nearby and just started fishing Little Seneca Lake and love it. Great video. Congrats on the snakehead, especially on your birthday.
Happy birthday! I grew up fishing on Lake Erie. My first fish at the age of 5 or 6 was a 27" Walleye. A few years ago I caught a 30" Walleye right off of Sawmill in about 15' of water in June.
Happy bday man I'm a new subscriber you remind me of a belated friend Jeff who had a ice fishing accident and passed he would of loved your videos thanks for bring the joy of fishing back to me
Slamming the Bass out there , I so need to get back out there only been there once all year now . Didn't know Snakeheads are in there . Bet that one side full of plants next to the tunnel they are chilling shallow in that cover . Love your video's my brother . Would be awesome to fish with you one day . You always give such great information . You were so happy when that one was a snakehead . Lots of bow fisherman over by swains lock and a little bit farther down . Really good vid .
Hello wow I been fish in here since 83 before black hills was there. So I know they were first spotted in croft on by a few boys in a pond then they got into the Potomac how did they get into Seneca lake though??
I was looking at a map, maybe they came up one of the creeks from the river but its possible someone dumped them in which isn't surprising since thats how they all started in MD in the first place.
At 4:20 you're like "Ohhhh, and he's off" ....lol......right after you whipped his ass from the east side of the lake to the west. Little did the poor bass realize that he was going wind sailing on your birthday. Dude looked like a torpedo. Funny stuff.
Love your videos! I'm trying to take my kayak out and fish little Seneca lake this weekend for the first time and looking for any pointers you might like to share (main bass forage, bottom composition, etc). Thanks!
Thanks Neil! Sorry for the late response. I hope you pulled something off when you went out. For next time...bluegill, crappie and crayfish are the main forage and the lake has a ton of vegetation as you probably know by now. I have a bunch of videos at LSL so just go back in time and watch the ones that match the season we're in and you should do well.
Wow. My heart was pumping with ya. So very unexpected. I would have freaked out too man. I have to admit im not a fan of snakeheads. Will be interesting to see over the next few seasons how frequent snakehead catches happen at LSL.
Came here from 1rod1reel... Love all the videos and your energy... You guys definitely got my fishing itch back! I'm in Annapolis and would love to join you guys for a challenge or anything fishing related 💯🎣🎣

Why do I see you everywhere?
Fishing with a guy I never met, love the internet.
Thanks for joining me! LOL

And yes... I made a delicious blackened Snakehead sandwich!!!
Good
Did you make a vid of the cook and eat?
@@richardtinsley8176 I didn't. Maybe next time!
@@TH-camFISHINGVIDS nice! Thanks!
Nice...i made Blackened Snakehead tacos, Sriracha Slaw with avacado tartar..with mine..delicious fish
This is the first video of yours I've seen and dude let me tell you your enthusiasm is infectious! Definitely earned my sub. Happy Fishing!
hi There, this your Boss, are you coming in today?
I'm just kidding!
Happy Birthday bro!
You bring up a good point. Invasive vs. naturalized exotic species
Clean em up, salt pepper and a dusting of corn starch and deep fry , wash em down with cold beer ( Repeat) at least 3 times 👍🏼 do often to deplete fish population....
@Tyrone Catkiller Kang nigga, you have to legally kill them, might as well have dinner, ans they taste good
Dave Scheer fucken A man
Are the a good eating fish?
@@lukewalker7889 , tasted great to me 👍🏼🐟
@@davescheer5038 well atleast they are tastey invasive spieces
“when i lose count then i know i’m having a good day” that line got me to sub!
LOL! Thanks man...
@7:19 is what you're here for
Happy birthday! Watching with my 5 year old, he’s having as much fun watching as he does when we are actually fishing!
Thanks Colin! That's great. Give him a high five for me...
So many bowfin have been killed by stupid anglers thinking they are snakeheads in my area ..its sad
They make great fish cakes
@@brandonhenry9846 eating them is fine people here toss them on shore to bake in the sun thinking they are invasive when they are really native bowfin not snakeheads
Bowfin are awesome fighters and deserve more respect. Its very easy to tell the difference between the two people are just too lazy to learn.
Also burbot
20 years from now it'll be all Snakeheads.
Because they live in harmony... I LOL when he said that.
try 2 in small lake like that
@@ico7909 Let snakeheads multiply. They are the best table fare.
I will say, catching Northern Snakehead is a whole lotta fun. Did it on the eastern shore a few times and it’s quite enjoyable.
Im addicted to the snakeheads now.... I actually get dissapointed when I catch bass now. lol

Green Pumpkin is hard to beat. And yes, chatterbaits are an awesome bait to use in just about any lake I have fished.

True! Thanks Bert...

Smart move!

Thanks! Sorry to hear about you friend...
I caught a snake head on Lake Monona in Madison, WI...I threw it back and my Dad told me I threw away a treat...where were you a month ago 😊😊😊
Michael Albright you should have ripped his gills out ant threw him back in
No better way to celebrate a birthday, and the Bass and Snakehead joined the party.
Thumbs up for not releasing the snakehead.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY MAN! Glad you had a great day, you deserve it.
Thanks Bud!
Great video ,Happy birthday,great fishing thank you,hugs from MN
THX!
Happy birthday!🎂
Ordered the Magic Shad you linked and they seem huge. Did you cut it down at all to for the jig?
Little Seneca lake as in Blackhills has snakeheads? I keep seeing something in there, but they look like muskies to me? What am I missing here?
Happy birthday man beautiful video

Thanks Joel!
I caught one at Guntersville lake in Alabama , it was about a foot long and freaked me out !
Thank you so much for not trowing the fish back in the water.
Awesome video man. Im local to that area as well! I live on Linganore. Subbed ya
Whats the difference between a chatter bait and the lure that you are using ? Can you put a link of where to buy the lure and the trail . Thanks
Hey man, long time. I understand snakeheads are in Gunners Lake now as well.
Happy Bday Cornell .... Great day of fishing for sure .... Glad you enjoyed a snakehead sandwich. Thanks for sharing your Bday trip.
Thanks as always Chris! It was delicious...

They are also in Northern Virginia Burke Lake
What type of boat is that?
Check out the link in the description with my boat review.
I clicked on the link but it’s not working.
Came here from 1rod1reel... Love all the videos and your energy... You guys definitely got my fishing itch back! I'm in Annapolis and would love to join you guys for a challenge or anything fishing related 💯🎣🎣
That would piss off so many people if the local PFA did that. Here they are considered trash fish.
👍 happy birthday
Thanks Seth!
Awesome video. Think I'm gonna hit LS this evening.
Awesome video Cornell! That's a great way to celebrate your bday. I have to get me a Nastys Thumper too man.
Thanks Ed! It sure was and you definitely should...
Happy Birthday love your videos bro
THX!
Happy Birthday Brotha! Snakehead is super good eating.. I ate it when I was on a build in Maryland .. Keep up with the good vids 👊🏽
Thanks!
this man had a good birthday
Snakehead is one of my favorite fish, they taste great and they put up a fight and what boat are you fishing on?
There's a link to my boat review in the description. Thanks Talon!
Happy Belated Birthday! Killer day dude!
Thanks Mark!
Snake heads are ridiculously fun to catch.
Keep them in the lakes they dont hurt anything
Whose here after the news feed full of these fish
Hey Tony! What news feed featured the snakehead?
@@TH-camFISHINGVIDS i think they are in Georgia now and it's been in the news. Also something about them walking on land.
Happy Birthday🙏
Rick! Whats a green pumkin!?!
Happy birthday man love watching your vids have a good one !!
THX!
Eat them! They are quite delicious.
Happy birthday Cornell!! Great video man love it! 👍👊
Thanks John!
That is nuts man. Never thought snakeheads would make their way into our land-locked reservoirs. Not sure how I feel about this...
It's a tough pill to swallow for sure.
I caught a snakehead in Gunners Lake last week. Reported it.
Happy birthday dude
THX!
Happy belated birthday dude!
Thanks!
Happy birthday Cornel
THX!
Happy bday m8
I really hate to admit it but there's probably no way of stopping that species, must try though
Happy birthday and congrats on the fantastic catch!
THX!
Happy late Birthday, a great way to spend it. It is my understanding that this genus of fish is quite tasty.
Thanks! It sure is...
Happy Birthday Cornell!
