How do you only have 2k subscribers? Your content is great and very informative!
xader4 haha thanks much 🙏
I’m not sure on the subs to be honest. I know the TH-cam algorithm tends to favor larger creators now, but I think some of it is on me for not knowing the “TH-cam Game” well enough. Still working on figuring it out.
Please feel free to share though!
Is this in Maryland?
Yessir. Eastern shore.
👍 thanks for replying
Wow, amazing information. You are clearly a bright and curious guy.
Thanks much Rob 🙏
Nice snakes. What soft swim bait were you using?
Thanks Paul. That swimbait is a 4” MegaBass Spark Shad. Love those things 👍
@@KambotroutFishing thanks for getting back to me. You mostly white?
@@paulswisher5756 pearl and chartreuse has worked best for me
@@KambotroutFishing one more question. What ott hook you using?
Great day of fishing for sure.
Jared O bro. It makes all my decision-making for this weekend so damn tough 😂
I'm on a quest to catch snakehead in the Magothy River. I believe I spotted a snakehead way up one of the feeder creeks, but haven't caught one yet. I'm learning a lot from your channel. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
BayFun glad to be of help and I’ve also heard reports of sightings in the Magothy (not conformed, but definitely reports).
Let me know if you have any questions and good luck!
Where is it?
I will not Release Any
insane skills
DMV Perch Pounders thanks much brother. I love what I do 😜
The sound of the drag makes the hair on my neck stand up can't wait to catch some snakeheads this spring.
Drag slipping is one of the best sounds in existence!
Great vid!! Solid info !
Glad it was helpful for you!
great info! thanks for the ride. Heading out soon to go snakehead hunting!
Thanks Mike and good luck!
You use a clamp thing. Are their teeth that bad? Thanks!
I don’t use a jaw spreader yet (though I plan to). For now I just use lip grippers and pliers. Definitely do NOT stick your fingers in their mouth.
I’ve never had one try to bite me, but if you put your fingers in their mouth, they could tear you up badly.
Is blackwater open ?
Yessir 👍
You deserve more man ❤️
Thanks brother 🙏
TH-cam game is a grind nowadays 😜
awsome video man got to say u put out some of the best snakehead videos out there!!!!
bigballin fishing thanks much for the kind words brother!
Bro two on the buzz gotta love it man what a great day I got mine too just missed her on video but I’ll be back 😂😂
Reel All-American Fishing Damn right bro. Can’t stay away 😜
Great vid bud. Man I wish I got one of those that day. But that's where that yak helps. Getting back to those places i just can't get to with the boat.. man you wacked them.. great job
Outdoors In Maryland thanks much Sam! Like you said, that shallow water is where the kayak shines 👍 Can’t cover water like you though 😉
It was tough for me too Sam. I'll be back over there soon. I have 3 kayaks, so if you ever want to give it a try it, let me know 😁
@@TomyTekOutdoors I might take you up on that. Should be interesting!
@@OutdoorsInMaryland Let me know. When it's all clear, we should try to get all the guys out. That would be fun trip.
@@TomyTekOutdoors we were planning and whole crew kayak fishing trip.. but the virus has stopped us in our tracks.. but hell yeah we can definitely hook up. Get together as many as we can. And let kambotrout shownus his secret spots... 😉
Could you share some info about the swimbait. Size/weighted etc...
gliebig100 np. 4” paddletail soft plastic, rigged weightless on a Berkeley Fusion Swimbait hook.
www.presleysoutdoors.com/berkley-fusion-19-swimbait-hooks-4pk/
If I were fishing deeper water, I’d use a very small bullet weight in front, but since I’m generally in 3 feet of water or less, no need for it.
Got em! Robot leg and all! Lol!! Good stuff!
Haha thanks bro! Ankle and brace held up to the struggle 😜
Brooooo! Great video! Nice angles and very informative! I liked how that boot didn’t stop you from going on your yak! I definitely have to get me one of those GoPro poles you have on your yak! Congrats on 2k!
Broski Outdoors haha thanks brother! I was going stir crazy not fishing for a month. I needed a day like this!
Awesome video dude! I just caught my first a few days ago and I am hooked 👊 such a hard fighting beautiful fish. Glad to see you releasing them too. Tight lines 🍻
I think I watched the video of your first catch bro; congrats again! And I wholeheartedly agree: hard fighting, gorgeous fish!
I really need to get my gear together and hit the lake or river. It calls to me. 😂
Jonah Miller Yes. You. Do. 😁
Great video. Do you use a soft plastic trailer on the buzzbait?
Nice video and you have a good experience can you tell me please where is the location to catch the snakehead thanks
Thanks much for watching Ahmad! Unfortunately, I don’t give the location of smaller waters because of the fishing pressure that can overrun it.
I’ll post locations on larger bodies of water that can handle the pressure, but not the smaller ones.
Dorchester county in general is a great snakehead water and here’s a video I’ve made on how to find fishing locations:
th-cam.com/video/hsT5HrjE81k/w-d-xo.html
I really respect that Thank you so much for information
Awesome day bro. We can see how hardcore you are fishing with a bum ankle. It's amazing how it was on fire in that location and stone cold where I was. I even had minnows. I hope to get back over there soon.
TomyTek Outdoors thanks Tommy! They keep us guessing on every trip as to what they want from minute to minute 😂
@@KambotroutFishing I hate to say it, but I guess that's why they call it fishing and not catching. Congrats on hitting 2K BTW.
TomyTek Outdoors thanks much Tommy 🙏
Do you use straight braid on all your setups for snake or a leader?
Father Of 4 Fishing straight braid. I’ve never had an issue with snakehead being line shy nor have I had any real problems with them line cutting 👍
A snakehead’s teeth are designed more for gripping than cutting.
The only caveat is that I’ve only ever fished for them in stained or tannic water. I’m not sure if they’d be line shy in clear water or not.
Kambotrout Fishing Thanks👍
Father Of 4 Fishing no problem 👍
I see you hit 2k subscribers, congrats bro. Maybe you should get one of those chargers........
Jared O thanks bro. Adrienne has me working on the giveaway vid now 😂
Great video!
Great info too.
Tell me about your tackle, what size line? Braid, mono, leader, etc.? Hooks size?
Thanks in advance.
Tight lines 🎣🤙🏾
Thanks much!
The primary lure I used this day was the 4” MegaBass Spark Shad in chartreuse on a 4/0 Gamagatsu, rigged weightless.
The line was 20lb suffix braid, but I recommend 30-40lb if you’re in heavier grass and cover.
The rods and reels were primarily 6.5’ - 7’ medium heavy, fast action rods. Penn Fierce II spinning reel.
No leaders for snakehead. I run straight braid without issue.
Let me know any other questions and have a good one!
@@KambotroutFishing excellent details, very helpful. Thanks a million.
Tight lines 🎣🤙🏾
Steve what time did the bite start
Had my first bite around 7 AM. Bite stayed solid till around noon. My buddy Jared and I left around 12:30 or so, but Butch stayed a while after and said the bite picked back up around 4 PM or so.
You must try to use jump frog lure. Thats most popular lure in my country to catch snakehead. Congrats you have new subscriber
Could you share a link to this jump lure you speak of? Also what country?
Now for somebody like myself who catches alot of snakehead and often ......This video is great and all But the species is massively invasive and I wanna know why nobody is keeping these fish for meat and why is noboby killing these fish on site ? Whats up ? I see alot olf ppl throwing the fish back which should be a huge fine . Why are ppl putting these fish back into the system ? I bowfish them and rod catch them they do not get returned
Man I've been absolutely struggling to catch one at my spot this year. I've thrown everything in my box from spinners to swimbaits to weightless flukes slow twitching, I've thrown swimbait spinners, just about everything in my arsenal and went and bought a few more things and just cant get them to bite for nothing
Eric Nelson Damn. Are you seeing them?
What would u recommend this time of year, mid summer when it's really hot outside? Im having trouble getting them to bite, I think their staying down deep in cooler water
Right now the bite is tough in a lot of locations because of the spawn. When they’re pairing and spawning, they rarely bite or bite short.
This time of year, live white perch and bluegill can do very well for live bait. For lures, I use small, often white topwater frogs and mice, along with buzzbaits, inline spinners, chatterbaits, and swimbaits
@@KambotroutFishing thanks, makes sense, I've had some hit on frogs but no hook ups. No luck on any other lures. I had one play with my live bluegill but wouldn't take take it, maybe it's cuz of the spawn.
Are you fishing your swimbaits weighted or unweighted?
Unweighted, but I’m also nearly always using it in 4ft or less of water depth.
You should have a floating cooler or a crate and tire thumper on your skiff to thump the fish and kill them ... Then bleed the fish out for good taste . these fish are great table fair and also invasive . Your not suppose to return them its the law . catch and keep no limit either
