You got it brother and thanks for watching! I’m gonna try and sit down sometime this weekend and crank out a bunch of them. If I’m able to finish one video over the weekend, I’ll be happy but right now I’m sitting on enough content for at least eight or nine of them 🤦♂️😂
Making a big road trip up to Maryland from Texas next year to see a buddy of mine. I was wondering what I was gonna do in the down time when I'm not hanging out with him. Then I remembered Snakeheads existed! Now I'm just going through your whole catalog of videos to prep. Can't wait to get up there!
@@KambotroutFishing I've got a few questions actually. I've never fished a tidal fishery before. I'm aware the tide direction/level matters a lot more than time of day. But (generally) how far inland is the water brackish? And how does that affect snakeheads? And how do they relate to current? looking around on google maps I see a number of smaller rivers/creek arms that (to my bass fishing eyes at least) look super juicy. But also look like they have a good amount of current moving through them at all times. I imagine snakehead would much prefer slack water and probably stay away from current if they can. But having never fished for them before I don't know
Hey brother great video again! I landed a new PB yesterday. 35.5” previous had been two at 32”. It’s absolutely insane what a couple inches does to these fish. From hookset to net I was just chanting “don’t come off, don’t come off” on repeat 😂 think that’s one of your lines too. It worked my drag, burried the line in weeds, ran right towards me for a bit too. Somehow I managed to keep tension. About 5 seconds in the net and it spit my viper. Feeling super lucky. I love these fish and this hobby man. I keep the boat on my car roof full time and hit the water every chance I get.
@@KambotroutFishing Thanks man! I’m happy just being on the water but targeting these things kicks it all up a notch. I love your videos been living vicariously through them some days for like 4 years or so at this point I think. It’s really awesome so many of us get a genuine thrill from them. Hands down my favorite thing to do and watch. Really thanks for sharing your experiences and expertise.
@@BIGYAKRFISHING haha thanks Colin 😜 Just wish I had some time to get out there. Been off the water for about 1.5 weeks and it’s looking like that’ll become 3 weeks. I may die
@@Glenn-wn3uc hey Glenn. I use the Addiction Bait Lip Grippers. Solid mid-range pair. If price isn’t an issue for you, the top of the line grips are Boga grips.
Thank you I really like that Addiction Baits website. We went perch fishing in a creek not too far from my house. We got plenty of perch. But at the ramp, a guy was telling us how good the snakehead fishing was. We saw a several while we were fishing. I think I have found a new target species.🙂
Speed Demon Elite gear ratio is 10:5:1. Unless there’s a new reel I don’t know about, it’s the fastest baitcaster on the market. I’ve really been enjoying it. If you decide to get one, use code Kam10 for a discount 👍 For the Honker, I usually tune them slightly upward and I’ll sharpen the hooks periodically.
Can you go through some videos and try to find a identify when u say oh i seen a snakehead rise or come up for air? I have a hard time identifying when its a snakehead or a carp lol i try to look closely on your videos when u say that but i cant see anything. Thank you love your content bro
@@Haz6667 Legal requirements on Snakehead vary by state, but in most cases, you’re allowed to release them immediately after catching them back into the waters in which you caught them. That’s the case in MD, DE, and VA (this was in MD). It’s usually only illegal to possess live snakehead or to transport live snakehead (which makes good sense in my opinion). I often harvest them, but it usually depends on whether or not I have room in the freezer or know someone who wants them. They’re the best tasting fish in freshwater and have an excellent meat to body ratio. They’re also easy to filet, so if I need meat or know someone who does, I’ll often keep them. With that said, I’ll release them if I don’t have a need to harvest. Many people take an issue with this because they’re labeled as an invasive species, and most fisheries managers do highly encourage their harvest. The peer-reviewed and published science thus far has not shown invasive impact. I’ve actually done an interview series with John Odenkirk, a VDGIF fisheries biologist, in which we review the most recent science and legal requirements on the species (link below if you’re interested). th-cam.com/video/lceYaOj8P9M/w-d-xo.html Still, invasive impact sometimes takes several decades to manifest, so if someone does harvest intensely, I understand their position. My personal opinion is that the degree of their impact will depend on the waters involved. In uniformly shallow waters with no established large predatory species (like Blackwater), they’ll likely have more of an impact (though I do think their impact is overblown and the snakehead scapegoated for our own impact). In deeper waters though, they’ll likely have less of an impact, especially when those deeper waters have large, established predatory fish. For me, they’re an admirable species, excellent parents, and incredible sportfish. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!
@@KambotroutFishing What a great comment back, thank you. I will take a look at the interview series you have done it sounds interesting. As of now I will continue to binge watch your videos as they are great and informative. I took my kayak out yesterday down in middle river and had no luck with the snakes the wind was crazy. Any tips I’d greatly appreciate I’m really interested in them now because I accidentally caught one on a chatter bait while bass fishing. Keep up the great work!
Another awesome video Steve thanks Brother keep them coming 🎣🎣🎣🦈🙏

Got me itching to go out now 😂 Sounds like y’all had a great time!
That we did. Much needed time on the water

Congrats brother! These fish are such an awesome ride. I love the passion they bring out in all of us

Nice!
Man that spot trips me out every time !
That many fish stacked in one spot you can wade in
Also you guys should try to have more fun out there
lol. I need another channel to post most of the convos we have out there. Too much adult language
Now you are just showing off. Love the video.
@@BIGYAKRFISHING haha thanks Colin 😜
Just wish I had some time to get out there. Been off the water for about 1.5 weeks and it’s looking like that’ll become 3 weeks. I may die
@@KambotroutFishing I hear ya. I’m waiting on DPW to get my new yak.
Always a good day when Kambo uploads
That’s what I like to hear 😜
Looks like yall had a fun session for sure 💯
That we did 😂
Keep the good content flowing brother.
Absolutely brother and thanks! I have plenty of video content ready, I just need the time to edit
Nice video bro always 👍👍👍
Thanks brother 🙏
Cool video bro keep them coming 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks brother and will do! I need more time to edit, but I know you know that struggle
All I do is wade for snakeheads hopefully I’ll get a kayak soon :)
I love wading, but get that kayak! Not a purchase you’ll regret
@@KambotroutFishing by any chance have you noticed a pattern on what seasons they go on sale and what time of year?
Love it bro thanks brother !!!!!
You got it Lou and thanks for watching man!
@KambotroutFishing I been watching for years brother and will continue to watch. We gotta get out and fish man !!!!

@@KambotroutFishing last question what weight chatter bait would you recommend starting out for snakehead??
what rod are you using (red and black one)
What gear ratio is that speed demon reel and I also was curious to what degree you tune your teckle honker frogs

Thanks Jake. I’ll see what I can find but I have an idea where I can get some solid video for this
Do you have a link for the tool you used to harvest? Been looking for a good one fo4 awhile
Yessir
Multi-tool Axe Hammer, Upgraded 14 in 1 Portable Hatchet Tool with Sheath, Camping Survival Gear Kit: amzn.to/4bIvsvm
And bought
Atleast im not only one that says i seent it
I SEENT IT 😁
Lol Goodluck fishin
@@ShawnEiker you too. Waiting on water levels to come down a bit and clear up now
@KambotroutFishing yeah mam same here ima check the area i go but ik its high
