I found your channel the for the first time in May 2023 , and I found it refreshingly different form the other fishing shows that I watch . I am an old man so I am not able to go fish like I once did ; therefor I have to live vicariously through men like you .The process of making and posting these videos must be incredibly time consuming . So thanks !
Just caught my first alligator gar in seabrook texas an hour ago. So grateful I watched your videos. I drove all the way to Galveston to get tilipia and mullet first and then I went out with my bg5000. Took about 10 minutes of fighting before I got it too the dock. Unfortunately I was unable to take a picture of the 4-5 foot beast as it got away as I was lassoing. Regardless, probably the coolest moment of my life. Thank you for all the tips 🙌😄
👍Great video my friend. Lol my old stomping grounds, those canals hold a little of everything snakeheads, bass , snook , tarpon, peacocks. I never got to fish it in a kayak though that would have been awesome
I apologize if this was already commented on but, aren’t you supposed to kill all snake heads when caught because they are invasive? And if you don’t, you can be fined? Just curious
That used to be the case, yes. The law was changed fairly recently, stating now that you can release them back into the same spot you caught them from.
New sub and I’ll tell ya my dude, great videos. I really enjoyed what I’ve seen so far. Congratulations and best wishes for a happy, healthy and prosperous 2023🙏🏼🤟🏼
@@austinhernandez2716 there was a story a few years back about Northern Snakeheads in GA. The same ones they have up in Maryland, Virginia New Jersey and stuff
Quick question: Aren't you supposed to KILL snakeheads or not release them back into the wild since they are an invasive species? Here in Maryland, it is the law to not release them and they must be dispatched... Not only that but they taste really good too...
Florida recently changed their law so that you can release them back into the same spot you caught them. I actually did do a snakehead catch and cook on my other channel as well as my Patreon page (they do taste extremely good)
I see you use Piscifun gear. I want to get one of their bait casters. Do you have a review video on these reels and brand or can you make one I would love to hear about them.
I've met quite a few "ibis ladies" over the years working for the Houston Zoo and the answer is just about always "ibis stuff" (or whichever animal applies)
Look up Corey Nowakowski, he's the guide who showed me this area. I don't want to give up his spots without permission and take money out of his pocket (he's a cool dude)
I was originally shown this spot by a guide, so I don't want to give it away. If you contact Corey Nowakowski, he's the guy that showed me the ropes fishing out here.
just use black cloth material for the windows, you can just use a credit card to tuck the material in-between the window and seal. works great to cover windows. also get 100% coverage and easy to store them
good to see beginners make the same mistakes as me... getting too excited and snatching the frog right out of the fish's mouth... LOL gotta let em chomp that thing and swallow it a bit... hahahahahaha
Snake Heads I believe are not to be released back to the water as per Florida law. Great content, I been wanting to make a trip down there for Peacock Bass.
@@swkelley I think once the species has a foothold, you are kind of done. The ecosystem will find a balance. It may not be one people like, but it will eventually balance out.
@@NOLA-vv3sz They've been here for over 25 years and I catch plenty bass in my best snakeheads spots. I see bass and other species eat snakehead fry all the time, thus they're also another food source for them. Hell, I had a friend catch a bass that was still swallowing a snakehead it was eating.
@@swkelley That is pretty much what I mean. There ends up being a new balance around all of them. People don't like it because one snakehead is too many to them, but once the species is there, they become part of the system whether people like it or not.
South Florida. I don't wanna give the exact location because I didn't find it, I was taken there by a guide. I don't want to hurt his business by giving out his spot.
What a great trip by the looks of this first video! I can't wait to see 5 more videos from this trip. Loved how we are able to join you on your adventure through your videos. Florida is such a fantastic place for fishing, that cliffhanger definitely sparked my curiosity. Question: Were you planning on possibly making the best moments of 2022, like top 10 catches or something along the lines of that? I feel like that would be awesome since so much success and great adventures have come from 2022. You've grown so much as a channel and I thought it would be cool. Even maybe the funniest moments/bloopers so far from all your videos while you commentate over or before showing the clips.
You need to fish parallel with the bank up as close to the bank as possible fish that frog so he swims. Don’t stop the frog that the snakeheads will steer away from the bait
Loved your video, but just a heads up, you can't throw back the snakehead fish. If you don't keep it please kill it and throw it up on the bank. They will craw back to the water so please make sure they are beheaded. Thanks for the great videos!!
@@paulmaul2186 I’m not aware of any, the native fish of North America that most resembles the snakehead is probably the bowfin but that’s probably more due to convergence rather than actual evolutionary relatedness
@@kunaiwithchain5278 I remember now, I was thinking of a different species of snakehead (the Bullseye Snakehead rather than the Northern) which I have seen in Florida around Pompano Beach.
I'm really surprised you let those snakeheads back in the canal. They're considered invasive species with no known predators that can wipe out native aquatic species if left alone.
Sucks being 22 hrs away from Southern Florida, get your rest bro, your videos are awesome! Did you do any collabs with any other you tubers while you were down there ?
No, I wasn't entirely sure what my schedule was gonna look like so I had to make it up as I went. I am looking to do two or three collaborations later this year hopefully
Contact Corey Nowakowski, local guide. This is his stomping ground, so I don't want to give his spots away. He's super cool, I definitely recommend booking a trip with him.
I know that drive pretty well. I often go to New Orleans....and once all the way to Houston....but Soflo is my home...glad to see someone else doing what I do!!
If someone is gonna break into the car, the glove compartment latch isn't gonna stop them. Nobody can see the ammunition (or anything else) when I put up the window blockers.
Man, you sure were horsing them in 😂 Seemed like your pants were on fire catching that last snakehead. I wonder if all that driving and fatigue and probable mega caffeine intake made you extra hyper this video, haha? Thanks for the content!
The caffeine helped for sure! I was actually taught by the guide I hired for this last year that's how you gotta get them. Try to play them and they swim circles around a tree immediately.
Great video. I sure miss fishing. I'm just recovering from a crash in my Jeep 3 years ago. I walk well enough to go fishing. Could you tell me what rod, reel, and line you are using in this vid? Thanks. Unless you got an extra one, you don't need. Ha ha. If not, just the info will be fine thanks.
Dagum brother you're really putting in that travel time! Your a beast. Hopefully one day I get to run into you in one of my fishing excursions... you tha man!
I'm from Miami. Kendall. Fished almost everyday. Fishing in south Florida is tits. Peacock bass and alligator gar are my favorite to fish for. Miss it.
I used to know a guy who was one of if not the biggest pot deaer in Utah and her lived and operated out of a house directly across the street from the Ogden Police Departments front door
The back-wheeling of the bait is far too too fast. You made many throws and gets nothing. The snakehead never missed its prey only if the speed of the prey to escape is faster. I live in a city where snakeheads home is.
Those bad ass snake heads....only caught one by accident in India...the ultimate terror man attackers, live in Thailand I think.. that wouldn't be the first artist that slung their work!..

Hey that's awesome, congrats on an awesome catch!
Lol that tunnel he went through brings back nostalgia Ive went through those same tunnels going to Florida so many times I've lost count
"Oh no it's another bass" is something I'd love to say more often.
It's the best kind of problem to have
When he said that I was thinking "you son of a bitch" 🤣🤣🤣
you and me both XD
12:21 - that fish went for a HELL of a ride! 😂😂😂
Lol he hit like a bigger fish
Epic cliffhanger. Can't wait to see what you hooked!
It's big
Surprised there were as many bass with all those snakeheads there. Glad to see it.
Good idea for the windows. Good videos bro. Keep it up
Thanks, I was pretty pleased with my cardboard window shades
Great effort.
I truly miss my south Florida days.
👍Great video my friend. Lol my old stomping grounds, those canals hold a little of everything snakeheads, bass , snook , tarpon, peacocks. I never got to fish it in a kayak though that would have been awesome

@@wildlifefishingshow shinners
I wish I am 13 hours away like this man. Catching a snakehead would be a dream for me. Very nice!
23 hours actually, had to drive for two days but it was worth it. Where are you located?
@@wildlifefishingshow I am in Cali.
Great videos. Production value = 10 / 10!

Thanks!
Awesome video! Loved the editing and content :)

Awesome fishing 🎣 👌
Thanks!
Nice work!
Awesome bro
Thanks
God tier watch!!!!!
Much abliged
19:40 😂👍
What was your rod and reel of choice?
Nice! I've always wanted to take a road trip to FL for first time for a fishing trip. How much gas you think you invested one way or total? ⛽
I drove to Fort Lauderdale from Houston and back (driving a jeep patriot), probably spent between $250 and $300 on gas
@@wildlifefishingshow Not bad at all! I have to take that road trip in the future 🚗 🎣
Thanks!
the shark on the second day makes the trip worth it ;-) !!!
I see you use Piscifun gear. I want to get one of their bait casters. Do you have a review video on these reels and brand or can you make one I would love to hear about them.
I use a number of brands but I don't have any reviews on my channel
Legit 🎣🎣🎣
Thanks
I wonder what else the Ibis Lady does for fun. In Florida, there's no telling what you might hook, lol.
I've met quite a few "ibis ladies" over the years working for the Houston Zoo and the answer is just about always "ibis stuff" (or whichever animal applies)
where's that spot? I'm in miami new to snakeheads

just use black cloth material for the windows, you can just use a credit card to tuck the material in-between the window and seal. works great to cover windows. also get 100% coverage and easy to store them
I'll give it a try
You know what if we can get the big blade on the jack hammer features it would be great we need that ASAP please!
What?
@@wildlifefishingshow oops sorry that was supposed to go to tackle warehouse
Bro you are fearless i would never get in florida freshwater never theres literally 1 big gator in every puddle of water haha
Those are nice snakeheads. I thought they were supposed to be killed if you caught them?
Florida's laws on that changed a few years ago
@@wildlifefishingshow ok. Didn't know that. I know in VA, they have to be killed.
Real life fishing planet 😂
On 99% of gas station pumps with video, the second button down on the right side of the screen is mute. I use it all the time.
Whaaaaat???? You just changed my life!
Hey where was this at
I haven’t watched all of this yet but are there alligators or crocs in that water?! You’re a brave soul. I could never…
The larger ones are in the bigger river systems near by (according to a local guide I spoke to). I definitely kept my eyes out.
good to see beginners make the same mistakes as me...
getting too excited and snatching the frog right out of the fish's mouth... LOL
gotta let em chomp that thing and swallow it a bit... hahahahahaha
Snake Heads I believe are not to be released back to the water as per Florida law. Great content, I been wanting to make a trip down there for Peacock Bass.
You can't transport them but can release them into the water they were caught in.
Research has found they aren't having the impact once believed, thus the reason why catch and release where caught is perfectly legal.

@@wildlifefishingshow understood. I live down here in South Florida and am trying to find more nice spots.
What brand of frog are you throwing
Brand is Stanley
Awesome thank you great video
Mantab btul👍
Thanks!
What kind of frog ?and how much thanks.
I think the model is "Ribbit", a pack is like $5

Great video even with the audio and video not matching for awhile
You experienced an audio issue? I proof watched it five times, didn't notice a problem
Florida is wild lol, really want to go there someday
It's the closest thing to a jungle you can get in the states, for sure. Wild place
You need to fish parallel with the bank up as close to the bank as possible fish that frog so he swims. Don’t stop the frog that the snakeheads will steer away from the bait
You should go do a Collab with catch em all fishing and go catch pacu with him I think it would be a good video
I agree
Loved your video, but just a heads up, you can't throw back the snakehead fish. If you don't keep it please kill it and throw it up on the bank. They will craw back to the water so please make sure they are beheaded. Thanks for the great videos!!
The law on releasing them actually changed a while back
Bet one of those baby duck lures would work in that water.
I totally should have done that
You know what else those canals are full of? Gators, surprised you did not see any.
Are those invasive snakeheads or native? I always get confused about that.
Snakeheads are invasive to the US, they’re native to Southeast Asia
@@kunaiwithchain5278 I think there is a species colloquially referred to as snakeheads that are native.
@@paulmaul2186 I’m not aware of any, the native fish of North America that most resembles the snakehead is probably the bowfin but that’s probably more due to convergence rather than actual evolutionary relatedness

They are invasive (though the laws around releasing them are more relaxed now)
Here's your sign,lol
What brand of frog is that?
The brand is Stanley and the frogs themselves are packaged as "Ribbit"
Try a slower, maybe sometime stopping retrieve, and pause when you see a swirl to set the hook.
New here can we get the same video with a catch and cook at the end 👍
All the catch and cooks are on my other channel, you can click on it from this channels homepage (there is a snakehead catch and cook from this trip)
Here's the direct link
th-cam.com/video/Ienp7dJk13k/w-d-xo.html
Why would you drive all that way to catch snakeheads???
Because I like them and you can't get them in Texas
I'm really surprised you let those snakeheads back in the canal. They're considered invasive species with no known predators that can wipe out native aquatic species if left alone.
You just need to get a good alarm that connects to ur phone or something if ur that worried
It has more to do with deterring interest, whereas an alarm only alerts you to a crime in progress
Sucks being 22 hrs away from Southern Florida, get your rest bro, your videos are awesome! Did you do any collabs with any other you tubers while you were down there ?

Dont set the hook immediately with snakeheads. When they hit count one one thousand then set it
Yeah, that definitely lost me a couple good fish here
@@wildlifefishingshow Good video though. Those things are fun to catch and surprisingly god eating

Around 10 minutes the audio started bugging really bad
I'll look into it
When they hit soft plastic top water. Count to 3 then set the hook. Trust me

Fish at the end is a snook maybe?
I'm from Miami. Kendall. Fished almost everyday. Fishing in south Florida is tits. Peacock bass and alligator gar are my favorite to fish for. Miss it.
Is it me or am I the only one who hates snakeheads ? They are taking over the ponds and lakes here in Fla.
Here's a comment for your algorithm
Appreciated 🙏
I caught a really fat 4 lb Bass in that lil canal.
Caught some big ones there years ago before everyone started fishing it.
Good videos, but the oakie blow ruined dinner.
The what now?
Nature's DEATH TRAP !!
I used to know a guy who was one of if not the biggest pot deaer in Utah and her lived and operated out of a house directly across the street from the Ogden Police Departments front door
So what you're saying is I probably missed out on a major score? Damn...
You hooked a 🐊 gar my guess.
Not this trip (usually that's what I go for in TX)
The back-wheeling of the bait is far too too fast. You made many throws and gets nothing. The snakehead never missed its prey only if the speed of the prey to escape is faster. I live in a city where snakeheads home is.
Those bad ass snake heads....only caught one by accident in India...the ultimate terror man attackers, live in Thailand I think.. that wouldn't be the first artist that slung their work!..
Those hook sets are aggressive, woah.
That's how my guide told me to do it last trip.
Boy, I miss kayak fishing.
It's a lot of fun
Kick Ass stuff Peyton! I am a bit jealous, haven’t been on a good road trip in too long! WHATdid you hook up on at the end?💥😁👍🏻
