Snakeheads

[Mike3888]

Now that the water has warmed up, snakeheads are pretty active. This is one of our hunt club members and the snakehead was caught out of my brothers pond. Eastern Shore Md. 12 lbs 30inches.

Is that a pretty big one?

Ive caught one about the size of my leg before....not kidding

My grandson, caught one last year. The whole family ate it and said it tasted GREAT!

That’s a good size one I’ve seen bigger ones. I stocked that pond with smallmouth bass years ago and some hybrid strippers.They are all gone. Snakeheads are killers. I’ve personally never fished for them but the guy in the pic slays them out of there. He catches the majority on buzz baits. Hell I’ve seen them crossing the roads on my way to sika deer farm one ditch to the next. People say they are good eating. There is a group of guys I follow and they have gotten 40+ bowfishing the Potomac I hear rumors Maryland might make it a sport fish but who knows ,Maryland is so full of ****.

I have never caught one, but they are a strange looking fish. I am glad to have never caught one n don't miss the chance. I like catching n eating crappies n catchfish

Nice one...but they will become a major problem I'm Maryland soon catch all you can

I know they’re well established in the Chesapeake watershed, how about other places?

 

[deermanok]

Aren't they an invasive species from China?

There slowly making there way through the tributarys I've seen em prity far up the Potomac but there even in the canal now

 

[Mike3888]

They are pretty much everywhere in Md. I’ve been in tree stand already near flooded marshes and have watched fry swimming around. Sure as heck got down and that’s what they were. It’s becoming an attraction here like sika deer. Lol.

 

[BlackPowderGuy (AJHS)]

I actually wanted to go fishing for one today...anybody know where in Montgomery County they can be found?

 

[toytruck]

Snakeheads are on the hit list in VA. Kill them all!!

 

[Mike3888]

You just can’t throw them in the brush if you don’t want them. They will just walk off.

Cut them in half with a machete for coon bait….

Never heard of anyone eating them? How did you fix it Ed? Maybe the old pine plank recipe?
