Wow! I appreciate the shoutout, Steve! I'm really glad the lure is working for you. Catching a fish on a home made lure is fun. Watching a buddy catch on a lure you made is EVEN BETTER. Here's hoping the video shows folks that they, too, can experience this unique joy. Go watch the instructional. Get yourself a handful of supplies. Unlock your imagination. See what works! For the record, I believe the ones I made for Steve had a #6 Colorado blade (silver) and a 3/16 oz Z-Man Redfish jig head. Great combo! Lots of flash and thump! I'M SO STOKED RIGHT NOW! So cool! 😁😁😁😁
Love that spot. Use to live right around the corner from there. Where that one you lost right next to you is where I've popped so many. Great vid buddy.
@@porkbeats that spot where I lost the big one is prime. Inflow and outflow depending on tide, funneling bait each way. Heard of ton blowups in the culverts from what I think were white perch and small striper
I hit the tributaries around the middle of the Choptank, hit it hard Saturday from sunrise to mid day, caught white perch, catfish, zero snakehead, mostly throwing a chatterbait & a real beetlespin which usually works. Fun time trying anyway!
@@KambotroutFishing muddy banks at low tide, with grass that only is against the water during high tide, lots of minnows everywhere (banded killifish) - downed tree's along the banks looked good, maybe there are snakeheads as I assume they would be there, unless the salinity is too high from no rain- but I have yet to catch my first, which will make it more satisfying when I finally catch my first.
Thanks again for another great video and the link to the spin beetle making. That will be a project for the off season. I was wondering if you have developed your own technique for safely unhooking a snapping turtle? If not I have a system (and all my fingers) that serves me well
I know space is at a premium and you select your gear as to what works best for you. For unhooking turtles and snakeheads I use the vise grip style plastic lip grippers on the lower jaw. With the other hand a pistol grip style metal fish hook remover does the trick. Hopefully snapping turtle encounters will be a rare event
Thanks Mike! By vice grip type, do you mean these? saltwateredge.com/products/the-fish-grip?variant=30275578658860¤cy=USD&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADSGP9AhR-jU7AiUvoW7kMPHfXwjX&gclid=CjwKCAjw7s20BhBFEiwABVIMrXYnp6jiT0H2ZWUbD7FCzGbLTJhRQD0g7rEU6yT2NpbnWMeBaiHuKhoCQPYQAvD_BwE
For frog fishing, yes, I use extra fast action exclusively. That said, there are other considerations we should account for. What types of lures are you using when you’re missing these fish?
@@KambotroutFishing zoom horny toad with heavy duty wide gap hook, it’s like this: I get one finally to bite after a long day… fish has lure, I confirm it, I go for a pretty hard hook set I feel it connect against the fish and boom I just see the toad all mangled and hook doesn’t penetrate, but then I have 0 problem hooking largemouth. I use a medium heavy fast action with the toad and always keep my drag locked.
@KambotroutFishing that's awesome that's where I live. Would love to talk to you about fishing down this way and I have another spot about 30min away that I always see snakehead but they won't bite

When the anointed one, snakehead Jesus catches fish on your lure!!! Where do you go from here?
@@underdogoutdoors 😆😆 I have no idea.

Glad you still got on some fish, but I know what we all want to catch 😜
How was the structure and vegetation?

Just placed an order with Acor Frogs .A 2 pack of Og frogs. green and white , red and black. Also a yellow Sexy Frog.
Damn good frogs! Hookup ratio is excellent

Thanks Mike! No, I do not have a set system for unhooking snapping turtles. That’s still very much a figure it out as you go operation for me lol
😂 Your edits are always on point
lol thanks brother
Love the videos! New and hooked on the snakehead fishing! Out of Northern Va.
Thanks brother! Always happy to hear about another follower of the Snakehead gospel 😜

That is the type I use. In most cases the lure is shredded by their claws.
But it has been a safe hook removal technique for me and the turtle
Do you recommend extra fast action rods for setting hook on snakehead been missing hooksets way too often

@@KambotroutFishing It also seems like I miss more when the fish is closer to my boat.
Yessir 🔥
Thanks brother 👊
