@@KambotroutFishing ...

Grew up fishing that water . Wouldn’t recommend eating anything out of there. Caught everything from bass to goldfish in that river. Glad to see some monsters in there.
I generally recommend medium heavy. You can get away with medium power in open water in most cases, but I’ve seen more than one rod snap on hooksets or headshakes from snakehead, especially in heavy grass and pads. For length, I generally prefer 6’6” at a minimum and prefer 7’ - 7’5”
I don’t think so. Maybe if they were to wrap themselves and break off in the structure and then not be able to surface, but they’re such escape artists that I really doubt they would happen.
Any tips for the hard bite areas like Howard County, MD where they ARE here but they don't hardly ever wanna bite? Seems like 95% of the time they are NOT in the mood.
What have you been using for them so far, and with what kind of presentations? Also, next time someone claims that snakehead are voracious killers who slaughter anything in their path just for fun, remember your experience ;)
@@KambotroutFishing Topwater frogs, mice, spinnerbaits, chatter baits. I have tried all kinds of topwater presentations such as slow twitch, fast retrieve, foot long glides with twitches, popping it all the way back, you name it. Sometimes I see them come up to it and put their snout up against it but cannot get them to bite. These are not the ultra-agressive, chase-it-down, snakeheads of 2019 when I first started fishing them. These are bashful, overly cautious fish now. Violent blowups don't seem to happen anymore for me in my territory except maybe once a year. Sometimes they will run off with the frog just in the tip of their mouth and then you can't set the hook because they only carry it away with the tip of the frog in their teeth. Time of day does not seem to matter. I can't figure out the conditions that make them more aggressive. Sometimes I literally have to sink a mouse on top of their head to get them to strike, but a lot of times they still just move away, uninterested.
@@lungimsam snakeheads are pretty smart fishes! I had one when I was a kid in my aquarium did catch him once wit a hook! Once in a while I tryed it again didn't bite again he was interested touched snapped the bait a bit it was starring at it but very coutious they definitely remember the hooks ! He still was eating snapping my finger in general not coutious but if they see a hook immediately knew something is not right odd.
Hey man where can I get some of those sweet top water frogs and rats can’t find any of them ?been watching your video and love them man keep up the good work
Hey Jason, Here are the links to the main lures I used this day. Top performers were the Nonthaburi Channidae and Teckel Honker.

Superb catches.. ! I have a suggestion for you.. if your releasing back the fish especially from fry balls and you don't want to hurt yourself 😄 and the fish, you must cover the eyes of fish with some wet algae or a small cotton cloth piece or any other opaque stuff which sticks to its eyes and so that its eyes are covered.. I will assure you that the fish will not move a bit it will almost go into comma it's my personal experience.. and you can take as many selfies with it..
They’re difficult to distinguish from small minnows when you first see them, but over time, you come to recognize small differences. One is that a fry ball will need to either stay at the surface or surface every 10-20 seconds, whereas a minnow school will go down and stay down if spooked.
Yeah it was lol. I would’ve showed y’all me riding the struggle bus getting back to the ramp with a busted pedal drive, but it didn’t take for great TV 😂
I surely did not expect a day of this caliber, but man I was happy to have it! I also had car trouble in the morning, so to say I lucked out (all things considered) is an understatement. Thanks brother!
What are the chances of your lure coming back at the camera like that. If you where to try to make that happen in a million years you couldn't. We have been creators for a long time and we thought we were recording and that light is not on at all...we all have done that. I do not make any tackle to hold those beast! Good segment bro. Keep Stack'n.
Congratulations 🎊
Thanks brother 👊
Looks a lot cleaner in your video than real life.
Lol, I somehow managed to miss most of the trash field in my video

@@240LTS lol, old military adage: two is one and one is none. I should have been living that adage this day
Another epic video 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks brother 👊 Can still feel that float on my lip grips hitting my forehead
@@KambotroutFishing keep pulling those tanks out of the water. Soon we are going to have to get bigger nets lol.
congrats bro👍👏💪
two time slaps,buts is worthit 😂😂😂
Lol thanks bro and agreed. I’ll take the whoopin’s for fish like that

Man you ain’t kidding Earl. You’d have to be crazy or desperate to eat anything out of there! Solid fishing though 👍
What power and length rods are you using on your spinning gear? They look to be mediums?
I generally recommend medium heavy. You can get away with medium power in open water in most cases, but I’ve seen more than one rod snap on hooksets or headshakes from snakehead, especially in heavy grass and pads.
For length, I generally prefer 6’6” at a minimum and prefer 7’ - 7’5”
wow what a tremendous fight of those monstrous the truth quality of video friend and I hope it is well!
Thanks brother! I love wrestling these big fish, dealing with their power, and eventually being reminded I’m not in control as I may think I am 😜
Can northern snakeheads drown themselves if they get stuck in the weeds and grass when you hook them Kambotrout Fishing?
I don’t think so. Maybe if they were to wrap themselves and break off in the structure and then not be able to surface, but they’re such escape artists that I really doubt they would happen.

Another awesome one!! No matter how many monsters you catch, I still hear the absolute excitement & amazement in your voice!! Congrats brother.
Thanks brother! I love em all. Always put a smile on my face
Another awesome day, congratulations 🎊!
Thanks Mark!
Really exciting. I bet you won't ever forget your hat again!

@@KambotroutFishing I like the top water frogs how do I buy them is there a Website for them instead of a Facebook
I was dying laughing watching them fish beat you up.
Bruh. That float to the forehead hurt lol
But it was well worth the content.
"You got KNOCKED the F OUT!" lol
Another awesome video. Keep up the quality content. Congrats!
Will do brother and thanks 👊

I’m going to try this. I used to watch Steve Irwin do something similar with crocodiles.
I’ve been there not recording. I’ve never seen a fry ball.

Love that explosion bro! Got my heart racing! Congrats
Thanks brother and ME TOO 😁
Man, that was a physical trip. These fish are so awesome.
Tight lines 🎣🤙🏾
Yeah it was lol. I would’ve showed y’all me riding the struggle bus getting back to the ramp with a busted pedal drive, but it didn’t take for great TV 😂
What a day and congrats on the W! Yeah, I pretty much forget something every time I go out. Way to make it a killer day despite the many challenges!
I surely did not expect a day of this caliber, but man I was happy to have it! I also had car trouble in the morning, so to say I lucked out (all things considered) is an understatement. Thanks brother!
Awesome day and congrats. Thought the snake you had resting on your shoulder was gonna give you a nice tail whip.
Thanks Stan! You’d think it’d be the over the shoulder shots that get me punished, but they haven’t minded em as much yet lol.
Congrats on the win. And hitting 7k subs
Thanks brother 👊
I'd give up a pair of sunglasses for a day like that. Just sayin. Awesome video! (Again)
Lol, me too brother. I enjoy the abuse 🙏

What a great bad day! I'm pretty sure I fished that same stretch of water without a bite...which was a bad bad day.
Lol, thanks brother. Snakehead can be like that. Fire one day and the next day you wonder if there are any there at all
@@KambotroutFishing Well at least I know if I go back I can get some free glasses.
