In the 4th and final episode of my northern snakehead miniseries, I'm back on the Potomac River with Haleigh Kilby and Jonathan Leavitt in search of a MONSTER snakehead. After fishing for them a week prior, cooking them up with Jon and then going on a research trip with a biologist for the state, we're working to put everything we've learned together to catch more of these fish. We'll also give our thoughts on the great snakehead debate and whether or not we believe these invasive predators are as detrimental to the waterway as people think.

Field Trips with Robert Field
/ yakfishfield
I’m 64 years old.
When I was 20 years old I worked in a pet store, we sold snakeheads. No one ever thought this would happen.
Catch them, kill them, cook them.
The site “ catfish and carp” has a great recipe for them.
I’ve always been an avid angler.
You need to get some real fish Billy’s to put them down.
They’ve been around for a while it sounds like
Carry a small spray bottle of rubbing alcohol and spray it on the gills. They will die in a matter of seconds. It sends the alcohol straight to the heart. I learned this on a sailing trip in the Caribbean, when we caught a huge Wahoo trolling. The captain grabbed a bottle of vodka and poured it on the gills, worked like a charm. I now do this all the time on fish I don't release. Nice video!
Wow that’s interesting!
Great video as always bro. Greetings from Malaysia. We started to have Peacock Bass in Malaysia which they say is an invasive species and needs to be killed, which in my point of view is not true. They are great and fun to catch. Same goes to Northern Snakehead in your case. You inspired me in a lot of ways. Respect
Vluq perhh vluq pun tgok sini jgk 😂klau snake head besar2 mcm tu kt malaysia padu laa
Fyi this guy is the go to Malaysian kayak youtuber for me, check up his channel for great contents.
After watching your four show series I am less convinced that the Snakehead is a threat. Thank you very much for this. I will never be where I can fish them, but I love fish, seeing them, eating them, keeping them.
Years ago when I lived in Northeast British Columbia, the folks there felt Northern Pike were a threat in one particular lake. I would find them thrown up in the bush or left to die in the sun. Myself and several others took it upon ourselves to change that thought in others.
We fly fished them and changed to floating plastics and I wrote about it in the local paper. Over time it changed how people thought about Pike. Not my favorite eating fish but it was a great surface attack fish.
So I hope with more education the Snakehead will become more appreciated.
That’s exactly it, man. These witch hunts are born from ignorance, and sharing knowledge and facts is the remedy. Cool story and thanks for watching.
Awesome finish to a very cool miniseries! Very good info. & entertainment Robert. I don't get out as much as I'd like, but really enjoy my field trips.
So glad you enjoyed it brother. Thanks for checking it iut
Excellent video! I really enjoyed the series on the Northern Snakehead, and learned a thing or two in the process...Keep those videos coming Robert Field..
Glad you enjoyed it man!
This was an amazing series . Rich ( my husband ) & I look forward to Tuesdays when your new episodes come out & I was so excited that the final installment was on here today !! Haleigh is an amazing fisherwoman . I hope she can be a part of more episodes in the future , she is awesome :).
Yeah she’s the real deal! Great angler and super nice. Glad you two enjoyed the series!
Never caught these, but some fish and crustaceans go into thermal shock and shut down immediately if put in an ice slurry. Ice slurry in a cooler bag in a hatch, dump them straight in from the net, and you're sorted.
Worth a shot because these things look downright dangerous to handle with hooks and teeth going everywhere.
If you watch the 3rd episode of this series, the biologist talks about how icewater will cause them to drown
Welcome to my life!!! K9 handler, Loss Prevention Officer, and fisherman. If there is a hole, they'll find it. If there isn't, they'll try to make one. If all of those were as easy as they should be my job would be CATCHING!!! Great video bro!!!
Hahah thanks brother!!
Great work! Those snakeheads is a extrodinary species! Envie what you do! Shoud be proud of what you have accomplish. You are bringing fun, entertainment and knwolage of the enviroment.
I usted to go fishing since i has 10 years old with my father. Since my father past away and insecurities haven't been able to go out. You bring good memories and i thank you for it! Keep going!
Glad to hear it Luis. Happy you’re enjoying the series
That was so funny, the first Snakehead loss. Ha ha....I just saw the second loss, funny too! Those snakes on the log were looking spooky. Great video! You are so talented in video recording and creation, looking forward to the next one.
Glad you’re enjoying em man! Thanks for watching
Didn't scroll through all the comments to see if anyone else mentioned it, but your intertwined snakes were mating :) Great content!
Hahahaha omg the SAVAGE part with Haleigh hitting it absolutely killed me. that was hysterical.
Hahaha she’s a hell of an angler
When you club them in your net you stand a good chance of damaging your net. Buy a 90,000 volt stun gun (for about 20 bucks) and shock them in the net. Pull them out and finish the job with your club.
Mid Day break between crunching numbers. Field trips making the day better. Keep them coming bro!
Glad to hear it man! Happy to help haha 👊🏼
having a fishing get away seems less painful when you can laugh it off with friends. great video, cant wait to see how you do going for Stripers
Stripers are on my list!
New subscriber here. Just read your write up in the last month's Men's Health magazine and went and found you on here. Truly inspiring story and I respect the heck out of you for taking the leap. I'm an avid bass fisherman and saltwater fisherman on the Texas Coast and I'm never more at peace than when I'm on the water. I'm looking forward to watching your videos on here from here on.
That’s awesome you found me through MH man! I’m from Dallas and have fished all over Texas. Welcome to the channel and thanks for joining me on this journey!
Such and excellent series. Heck, you can now say you're a snakehead mythbuster :) Thanks for representing Texas, Robert!
Hahaha putting it in the résumé!
Looks like a good spirit like John is the key to fishing something this frustrating to catch haha. Or just stay relentless like haley
Yeah man, these fish aren’t for the faint of heart! Takes persistence. I wanna go back and get a double digit now. Jon has several over 10 including the world record for a while at like 16-17 lbs. But the record has been beaten a few times since then
They're one of the few fish I know that'll always hit a weedless frog, absolutely love the topwater strikes
BTW, to stop the snakeheads bs, take a ice pick to they're spinal cord it does the trick just don't stab ya self
Yeah man, super exciting way to fish
Trick to handling snakeheads is to stick fingers in the gill (at the bottom where the gills meet) and press eye with thumb. Pressing the eye calms them.
I’ll try that!
Awesome fishing! I don't have the access that a kayak does, but my biggest is a bit over 4 pounds, and it hit my swimbait so hard, that if I was not holding my rod firmly, it would have snatched it out of my hands.
They’re such a strong fish man!
Nice to see you turn into a snakehead lover! I live in south Florida on a canal loaded with bullseye snakehead. Come down and I’ll put you on plenty.
They’re still on my list!
Good video! I catch Giant Snakehead in Thailand and convinced they are the most aggressive freshwater fish I have ever caught! Keep up the good work!
I’d LOVE to catch a giant snakehead. Thailand is on my list!
Excellent Video Rob! Keep them coming and keep the dream alive.
Thanks my man! I will do my best
Great episode Rob!! Looks like you guys had lots of fun!! #YouTheManRobert!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌
Those fish are SO fun man, you should make a trip down for em!
Awesome video. I know a lot of people that also feel like they are not causing a negative impact on the ecosystem. I'm one of them. I'm having a hard time landing my first one. I hooked one and it jump immediately and spit the hook. I'm glad I got it on video. You should come to Maryland and fish for them. Someone just broke the record with a huge one at 19.9lbs. I'll be fishing that same area soon, in hopes to land my first one.
19.9 is a monster!! They’ve got one about 19 in VA also
Those snakes were mating. They are Northern Watersnakes (Nerodia sipedon). Good footage!
Good to know!
Burlap is needed to hold them with your hands for the wackin sequence. Burlap isn’t hard to find so give it a go and you won’t lose as many.
Your videos don't disappoint bro their getting better and better man
Thanks my man! Glad you’re diggin em. Practice makes perfect, and I’ve still got a long way to go.
Got him! Yeah right. LOL I thought they were only in the south. They look like a tough fish to handle.
Some nice bonus bass. You just made that snake head mad when you hit it.
These actually aren’t in the south. Florida has bullseye snakehead, a different species, but Northern Snakehead have only been found in Virginia and Maryland currently. They are SUPER tough to handle. Ticking time bombs!
You can add GA to that list
Great video as usual Robert! We don’t have any snakeheads in Hawaii, and I didn’t know they were good eating. Just heard about them being invasive, but like you said, the native population of fish are still fine, so have fun! Aloha bruddah.
Very cool species and don’t worry, you guys have plenty of tasty fish out in the Pacific!
Snakeheads remind me of burbot we have here in Canada. Most people consider them an nuisance fish but can be pretty fun to catch.
I caught burbot in Washington. They’re delicious!
Great vid! Can't wait til this weather breaks. Mattawoman Creek in southern Maryland is where I'll be!
Ok guys, I love John's steal your face shirt! Just for me, and I fish the Potomac everywhere, I'll not release a snakehead. They are good eating and I'm aware they won't change the ecosystem, but I enjoy eating them. By the way, a quick blade to the head after boating takes care of business. Great series, thanks 👍
I've caught plenty of snakeheads in Asia. The best spot to hit them is not on top of their head. It's the soft spot like an inch below the skull. It just take a decent whack and it will be incapacitated.
I kept missing. They’re slippery
I think I'm love, Haley is freakin awesome! So cute and LOVES to fish, died and gone to the fishery! Seriously guys well done, thoroughly enjoyed this!!
Haha she’s the real deal 👌🏼
I got a small aluminium bat that's made for clubbing fish, like 20 bucks on Amazon. I don't even take em out of the net one or two hits they're toast and in the cooler
Solid advice. We definitely needed something
Yep, the bats can work really well. As lomg as it's a one hit kill I'll use it
Great video as always Rob! Love the mix of educational and entertainment on these Snakehead videos. Also nice to see you using the Outback again Rob, was beginning to wonder if you still liked your Hobie or not lol!
Glad you enjoyed em brother. I use whichever boat makes the most sense for each trip!
Just curious, what particular reason(s) makes you choose one or the other Kayaks in the situations you've been in recently? In the Pecos River episodes it was obviously due to shallow and rough waters so no pedal drive systems, but with the 2 different pedal drive systems what makes you use one over the other, since both can also be paddled?
After snakehead fishing comes the snakehead wrestling.
Haha basically
Might as well call this the Snakehead Wrastling Series. Great video!
Haha no doubt
I've fished that spot a few times with no luck. I'll have to give it another try this season.
They’re in there!
What spot is this in your opinion
@@SaulTeebolz Crow's Nest. Well known spot in Virginia. There's largemouth, gar, and snakehead in there.
Another GREAT video!! Lots of snakehead at pohic bay not too far from where you were
Thanks Brian! Such a cool area to fish
Get up in lorton and, work in Woodbridge .. 703 representtttttt!!!!
Dude this series was the best!!! Thanks so much :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Killer video. Think I will have to add this species to my own bucket list.
They deserve a spot, they’re a blast
The snakehead (Channa or Parachanna sp.) is a non-native, air-breathing freshwater fish that is regarded by U.S. fisheries scientists as an invasive species, due to the fact that it can potentially threaten native species and native ecosystems, much the way non-native carp have disrupted native populations
Correct. We talk all about it in the video before this one with the leading snakehead biologist in the US
Awesome video bro. I live in Maryland and I would love to see you catching striped bass here , Your videos are great 🔥🔥🔥👍🤙
On my way bro! Striper are on the list
Robert Field awesome good luck bro. Tight lines
I’m heading there tomorrow. Can’t wait !
Good luck!
10:58 every fishermen's fish story. Sometimes sound effects are the only communication you need lol
Hahah right
DELAWARE!!! Can’t wait to see where you come fish in the first state. I usually kayak fish the Broadkill river, Massey’s Landing, or Cape Henlopen near the pier, and around the lighthouse
Got some fun stuff planned for DE
Glad to see you caught some snakehead. Good luck in Delaware!
Those fish are a blast man. Lookin forward to DE
Appreciate the video especially about how they are not destroying the fish population!!!
Time will tell, but so far it looks like the situation is less dire than initially predicted at least.
Great fishing . Thanks for the video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Haha awesome video bro! They are my new favorite fish to target as well!
So much fun man
😂 that's was good stuff man lol y'all really need to invest in boga grips or do as my buddy does and run a larger carabiner clip on a lanyard through their lip
They bust out of boga grips. Stringer is solid it’s just getting it on em before they explode
LOL @10:20 you said the snakehead was laughing at you when it escaped. Im sure it had one heck of a headache
Haha yeah it did
I'd love to check this place out! I've heard a lot about how they affect the ecosystem and wanted to check them out myself. Where in stafford VA is this? It would be amazing if I could catch my first snakehead!
Aquia Creek. Watch the first 3 episodes of this miniseries and you’ll learn a ton about them that will help you catch em
Nice Video, I hope to be up there in Sept after Snakeheads. Going back after Shoal Bass early August.
Nice man! Those shoals are a blast!
Flint got blown out so I went up to The Potomac. Got the Snakehead off of my Bucket list. video out in a few weeks.
Literally died laughing at this episode! An instant classic. Keep it up!
Hahah glad you enjoyed it Brendan! Thanks for following along with the show. Great to hear from you every week bro 👊🏼 means a lot
Wow really enjoyed the personal touch you put on that message! Absolutely love the content, best part of my week. Keep it up and i'll keep tuning in!
Awesome vids bud, I'm up in ontario and apparently we've got these in a few waterways up there and I'm really hoping to catch some and cook em up now.
A general question about putting fish out of their misery: is it better to club em or stab em just behind the brain? Just picked up fishing again after fifteen years and I'm getting back into the swing of things.
It’s definitely better to insert a knife behind the brain. I was worried about these slippery buggers escaping my grasp and the knife finding my hand instead.
Thanks for the reply man. I figured as much, I've actually been debating making a small leather sap and keeping it in the tackle box for clubbing fish when they wont stop moving, but saps are pretty iffy up here.
Awesome video as usual...Im looking to see how you do in my home state of Delaware.... nothing like south florida tho..lol
Every state is cool in its own way. Delaware comin up
That looks like some fun fish to catch
They’re a blast!!
Love the kayak launch ✊
Oh wow that’s amazing how well those fish escape 😂😂
So crazy man
Where is Stafford was this launch???
Gotta get some lip grippers. Makes life so much easier dealing with the snakeheads.
That intro was hilarious when you wack it on the head and it goes nuts hahaha
Haha those fish are crazy
Wow, they are slippery looking!
EXTREMELY slippery!
Those slimy critters
Hard to handle for sure
Thanks for the video
Impossible to control man. Made it exciting!
Congratulations on 100k Subs 👏👏👏
Thanks Aidan!
Well these are in certain NA waters because of the aquarium hobby. Back before they were made illegal a lot of people got them because they are so angry and predatory that they can be fun to keep, but people got tired of them or couldn't house them properly so let them go.
PLOT TWIST: Now that they are illegal they have a very high demand in small niche groups and therefore would fetch a very high price.
The VDGIF keeps one in a tank for research purposes. I bet they’re fun to observe. Steep penalties for being caught with one alive.
The first reported release of snakes heads was NOT from the aquarium hobby. It was from a food store selling live fish to eat. The customer couldn't bring himself to dispatch the snakeheads, so he released them. The aquarium hobby gets a bad rap all the time, but most of the biggest issues with invasive water species have been the result of aquaculture or DNR programs. Viral Hemorrhagic Septicemia (VHS) is from the bait trade and possibly related to cargo ships dumping their ballast water into fresh waters. VHS is a big reason why you are not allowed to possess live fish from a body of water in many states. So, the point is please stop bashing the aquarium hobby, it is a minor player.
Liquid, either way my point is still valid. It wasn't the aquarium hobby.
Sure people eat these and maybe even use them medicinally like some rhino horn type of BS, but if you think that minority of instances accounts for the large numbers of the multiple species of channa in some of our waters then I don't know what to tell you other than that is a little bit far fetched, and you are going out of your way to stand up for a hobby at risk of making yourself appear gullible.
People have been known to eat cats as well but the reason our nation's park system has a problem with feral cats is not because of some those were released into the wild, even though that likely has happened, it is from irresponsible owners. That is not me attacking cat owners in general any more than saying channa are in our waters from fish tanks is attacking the aquarium hobby in general, it is just stating facts...there are irresponsible people everywhere.
And as far as attacking the aquarium hobby goes, I have been in the hobby for over 30 years. I have kept every single freshwater species of fish that Jeremy Wade has ever caught on River Monsters before River Monsters was even a thing. I was one of the founding members of Monsterfishkeepers.com and furthermore I owned a fish store for quite some time, Forever Wet Aquatic Pets. So if I have anything negative to say about the hobby, it is not from the outside looking in. I have about 2,000 of aquariums in my house right now, as a matter of fact.
A major part of the reason I shut down the fish store was my disgust at the fact that for every responsible person in the hobby I ran into, there were 20 more behind them that had no business keeping anything living. People who know that "fish only get as big as the tank", an irresponsible practice called stunting. People who know that they cant properly house fish 'X' but hey "they will just get that 500 gallon tank somewhere down the road, for now a 10 gallon will do." People who know that fish 'X' will likely eat fish 'Y' but "hey if I keep them well fed it should be fine." People who's kids saw Finding Nemo but who did not have the funds, know how, or time to set up a salt water tank and so purchased clown fish to be put into salt water betta bowl setup. People who insist on keeping fish that are not being captive bred but they may or may not have even had the insight to check. Then it got to the point where I started refusing to sell to people who I knew were not capable of caring for the animal I was selling them, and that is a sticky road to travel that brings more drama than is worth putting up with. I still deal in fish and can to this day get anybody nearly anything in nearly any size, but only to responsible folk of my choosing, lest they end up in our water ways.
Even some of the seemingly responsible folks in the hobby can't control their impulses to practice irresponsible fish keeping. Case in point: 'King of DIY' here on youtube has thousands and thousands of gallons of tanks, some between 1k and 2k gallons, but he still has no business buying a shark. much less several....yet he did. And he did so using another common line from the list used by the irresponsible hobbyist: "When they get too big I'm just going to donate it to a zoo." LIKE ALL ZOO'S ARE SOME SORT OF FISH RESCUE!? Wake up call to anybody in the hobby, zoos don't want your fish that may or may not even be able to ever reach maximum size and become an ideal adult specimen worth displaying depending on how it was raised. Very rarely is this an option....and by 'very rarely' I mean I have personally seen this one time in an instance where the person donating was related to an employee where the fish was being donated. For 99% of the other folks who find themselves in said position, their fish is going in a lake or river.
We used to catchem when we were kid look scary but tasty, popular eating fish in S.E.A and they can survive for day without water mate.
Yep, we learned all about the species in the episode before this one. They actually HAVE to breath air to survive. They drown if held underwater.
Super fun video, i would love to catch some snakehead
They’re a blast man!
Awesome 👏 video bro
Beautiful place fish 🎣 for snackhead love ❤️ to eat those fish
Very cool place and species
Looking forward to Delaware and Maryland.
Comin up next!
Great series !
snakehead more attract to buzzbait,jumpfrog or softfrog at around 4ft water.. catch them everyday.. cheers from malaysia
Thanks!
Well, as they said it nature will finds a way. Maybe the population has stabilized and the Snakehead already fit in the food chain and help in the bass population also. We can't know for sure how they really affecting the ecosystem but for sure it does had a positive effect to the bass fishery couple years back.
Do some bass fishing or cat fishing in West Virginia because the best part of Virginia moved west in 1863 !
I’ll be hitting WV. I’m doing all 50 states. Where should I go?
North bend state park, Summersville lake, the Potomac river in the eastern panhandle or the Ohio river on the border between West Virginia and Ohio, you won’t be disappointed!
Just look up the best places to fish in West Virginia and I guarantee you won’t wanna leave once you get here👌
The new "PITBULL" of fishing, and remember you heard that name here first, by huckfin ! Oh ! HELP ABOLISH THE FISHING LICENSE/PERMISSION SLIPS
K
@@YakFishField Take ya much ?
awesome video man lol really enjoyed the snakehead series n look forward to ur next videos :)
Thanks brother!
Looks like great fun. What part of the Potomac is this?
Aquaia Creek
Any places you know for snakehead shore fishing??
The creeks off the Potomac. You’ll have to find legal access yourself. But they hang out near the banks.
Ya'll could try a hammer it woks great
I was thinking a short bat strike before removing the hook might be advised.
growing, up for muskie and northern pike (naasssty teeth) we'd use a "fish bat", about 18-20 inches long. You smack it through the net, don't try to do anything with 'em out of the net.
For those guys you should really just get a pair of heavy duty metal lipgrips....... With a whole poolnoodle tied to it.
Solid advice
Bros, you should go to Vietnam to see how they deal with the snakehead fishes
I would love to fish Vietnam!
Love to catch snakehead they fight so good
Yes they do!
Damn, I need to catch as many snakeheads before they regulate this thing to one a day or over 18inches or something.... Asian know what’s good and trust me, they catch snakeheads and eat them all the time while they catch large mouth bass and trash it because it’s not allowed to be released back and no Asian really like to eat large mouth bass
They’re delicious and here to stay
Its a beautiful fish in south east asia especially malaysia the type of snake head u all caught we call it kerandang and buyer will pay around 130 dollars per kg it is like RM 520 malaysian money per kg
Yes, they are very popular over there. You also have Giant Snakehead, even bigger, which I would love to catch
@@YakFishField but right now a bit hard to fish as covid19 had spread like blooming flower in malaysia. Right now my country in on a lockdown isolation.
Hahaha her beating that fish!!!!!
Hahaha #savage
A good chop from the curved end of an aluminum cull stick works every time.
A .22 pistol with shorts in it would end the escape problems.
True...
Hey Robert I actually live in stafford Virginia and was wondering if you know the name of the kayak launch at :54 seconds???
I’m wondering the same thing
If u find it hit me up I’ll tell u if I find it too
Great series, exciting fish to find and catch. There are a lot of opinions out there on this species in NA, as a northern European I can see both sides of the argument but would need to see hard facts showing these fish are not affecting the natural species and environment before advocating. If studies show they are not a threat to native species, habitat, population numbers and environment, then why not let them be? Clearly they are contributing to the sport and by all accounts are good eating..I'm on the fence until they are proven to have no adverse impact.
Yeah, most people say Invasive = Catastrophic, but I don't think that's always the case. Most people don't realize that many game species we fish for are invasive, including largemouth bass (they've been stocked in countless bodies of water they don't belong in).
You are great, you love snakehead fish, I love this fish
The snakes coiled up together were mating.
I figured so
Great video!
Thanks!
Awesome as always! ❤️
Thanks mom
Got me planning a trip
Do itttt
I saw an episode of River Monsters once with Wade catching these. Correct me if I'm wrong, but do these fish attack humans? Shouldn't they be killed if caught?
They do not attack humans. Watch all 4 parts of the series for my take on whether or not they should be killed.
@@YakFishField Thanks Robert.
Where was this kayak drop off at? Been searching for years but could never find these fish!
Nav Begli please answer Roberts field or Haleigh .
I know you guys are very private with her fishing spots . I just bought my very first kayak last weekend off of craigslist and I am a Stafford County resident it would be awesome to get to put out in here unless it’s private
my pb is 12 lb, up to 13 caught rod and reel this year.
Nice!!
That's two smaller green water snake males breeding with the one large female.
I figured they were breeding. Pretty cool
Robert Field it is I love your videos, their cinamatic, interesting, and immersed.
Awesome job on the releases... intentional or not! lmao Enjoyed watching the snakehead series
Haha glad you liked it man! Super cool fish
