WILL THE "TRIED & TRUE" RAPALA SCORE AT THE LITTLE POND?
Stopped by the really small pond for a 2nd try to see what was biting. Water level was down, but still managed a few bites.

Tried fishing for snakeheads again. Fortunately, snakeheads & nice bass are found in the same ponds. Unfortunately, apparently my "hook setting" technique needs some improvement. #fishing #bass #trendingvideo #pondfishing #bassfishing #bankfishing #buzzbait #hookset chesapeakechris.godaddysites.com/ Please Subscribe: ua-cam.com/users/ChesapeakeChris

SEARCH FOR THE ELUSIVE SNAKEHEAD!!
Переглядів 98Місяць тому
Last year I accidentally hooked a snakehead (Chesapeake Channa) and when I landed him, he broke my line & slithered back into the water with my lure. Everybody I speak with says they are awesome fighters and 1 of the best tasting fish they ever ate. So I begin my quest to land one and take it home to eat. For being an invasive fish, they sure are difficult to locate & catch. Let the adventure b...

My buddy Ray took me to a fishing tackle store he worked at for a brief period. He told me about the incredible amount of inventory they stocked, but it was crazier than I ever imagined. It was an insane shopping experience...just wish we had more time...a lot more time.

FISH WITH CLEANED UP ST CROIX ROD I SNAGGED!
hello my friend Chris
Nice job Chris! Glad you got one decent one on the Rapala!
Woohoo dinner is caught and a nice bass that would be over 2 lbs . ! Great video !
Thanx for watching & commenting. Snakeheads are a delicious fish. Thanx for the estimate on the bass, you are my weight scale 🤣
Hard to believe there are snakeheads in a pond. Thanks for sharing.
Thanx for watching & commenting. Now that I fish for them, I've learned they're in most ponds around here, sometimes just not in abundance
Congratulations on snagging your target fish. I'm gonna be honest with you...that is one damn ugly fish 😂
Thanx for watching & commenting. They sure are ugly, powerful fish with teeth & very bony mouth & head. But they are superb fighters & about the best tasting fish I ever ate. I'm addicted to fishing for them now
Couple nice catches Chris. Keep catching those snakeheads and eating them. Control the population 😂. Tight lines!
Some nice fish, especially the largemouth. Enjoyed the video
Thanx for watching & commenting. The bass was a very nice surprise. Those Ishtech buzzbaits work very well
Those snakeheads are psychos!!!! I thought smallies went nuts, but that snakehead went air born!!! Thanks for mentioning the Ishtech buzzbaits!!!
Good show Chris! You just might become the snakehead king!
Thanx for watching & commenting. I wish I was the snakehead king...I'm addicted to fishing for them
Nice snakehead and a nice bass! Good job Chris! Thanks for sharing! Hope you have a great weekend!
Thanx for watching & commenting. I soooo wish I would have landed the 1st snakehead. They sure have hard, boney mouths which makes for difficult hook sets
😮
Thanx for watching, sorry for the delayed reply. I was out of country for a week & I was pretty sick for quite a few days
Be safe, have fun, go fishing!
Thanx for watching & the advice. Did do some wade fishing from shore 🎣👍🏻
Braid is bad for rocks. Get cut easier with rocks. Run a braid backing if thats your choice. But mono will help with the rocks. Buy thicker mono is my recommendation.
Thanx for watching & the advice. A few people have told me that. I'm using heavier mono now when I go to the Caribbean.
Hope you have a great time! Be safe!
Thanx for watching & commenting buddy. Really enjoying ourselves. And getting a little fishing done
Hey, just have a good relaxing vacation and do some fishing. That water looks awesome. 👊💪🏻
Thanx for watching & commenting. Having a great time & did a little fishing. Plan on doing more
That was a pretty good size turtle right there watching you. Tough day fishing! Sorry about you hurting your hand/thumb! I know that had to being quite painful. You'll get em next time! As always, thank you and have a great week!
Thanx for watching & commenting. He was a big boy, am told people feed them so gather when they see someone on shore. Falling was really the pits, it's no fun getting old
I also collected my annual stumble this month. And being that I'm being treated for frozen shoulder I felt the need to land on that shoulder ..lol Another great video my friend ! Stay safe !
Thanx for watching & commenting. It'd be fine with me if I never fell again. Takes longer to heal as I get older. Hope your shoulder is getting better.
So many turtles. That one definitely wanted a meal from you. Hope the next outing goes better for you. Enjoy the weekend.
Thanx for watching & the good wishes. I've been out since then & had some very good days. Guess you gotta take the bad with the good 🎣
Days like that, make you wonder why ya even try. Hate when arthritis comes to visit, but it’s worse when ya agitate it. Still a nice video. The turtles were cool
Thanx for watching & commenting. The turtles were the only bright things on a dark day. When they x-rayed my thumb & the Doc said I have arthritis, I said that's what old people get...I'm too young for that 🤣
Hey Chris, come to think of it I don’t believe I’ve ever seen a turtle climb up on a log either. Man I feel your pain on jamming that arthritis thumb, don’t do that no more! Enjoyed the show as always!
Thanx for watching & commenting. It's no fun getting old, Bill. My thumb hurts every day, some worse than others, but when I fell & jammed it, that really smarted
Very cool to see those turtles so up close!!!
@@fishinwithish thanx for watching & commenting. That one turtle was huge, probably take your finger right off
Tough day man! That kind of stuff is exactly why I HATE bank fishing. Better luck next outing!!
Usually I do very well bank fishing. But not every day is rainbows & Marshmallows. The worst part was my Wipeout when I jammed my thumb.
The saucy swimmers work great. I love jigging them. Great job! Keep slayin’ 🎣 NEW SUBSCRIBER!
Thanx for watching & commenting. I may try to use them more often. Thanx for the sub! I've been subbed to your channel for a while. Welcome aboard.
hahaha yess!!! get them snakeheads!!!! thanks chris!!!
Thanx for watching & commenting. I plan on it.
Nice looking lures. Got a link?
Thanx for watching & here is the link to his online store: fishinwithishbaits.myshopify.com/
The buzz bait looks cool. I feel your pain. I loose three spinners yesterday
Thanx for watching & commenting. The buzzbaits work well. Used one this morning & hooked 2 snakeheads & a real nice bass. I already ordered more
Nice!
Thanx for watching & commenting
Hard to believe there is snakehead in that pond. Got some nice bass, Chris.
Thanx for watching & commenting. I think there maybe snakehead in almost every freshwater pond around here.
They have the patience of Job!
Thanx for watching & commenting. He almost looked like a statue
Good catch Chris! I just started fishing soft plastics like 6 months ago and now they are my go to lure of choice. I love the fact that they can be rigged weedless and fished slow or fast.
Thanx for watching & commenting. I generally don't fish soft plastics slowly, still kind of new to that. If I'm not getting a bites fairly often, I get impatient.
Nice video and a nice LMB to match. That was a good size stick fish to, bout the size of my PB 😂. Great job Chris. Enjoyed.
Thanx for watching & commenting. Wish I would have got catching the bass on video. I had to throw the stickfish back, they're not in season, but I swam away so I think it'll be ok 🤣
Here's my thoughts on EWG hooks... They almost all suck and lose fish... I hated EWG hooks with a passion... Until I started making those ewg neds with the victory hooks. It's hard to explain why EWGs lose so many fish but those victory hooks in the neds I make just plain hooks everything. Not trying to be a salesman, I am sure there are other people who make those exact ned hooks that I make. I personally think it's some sort of wizardry or witchcraft. Mike was the one who convinced me to use those hooks and believe me it took him months of talking about them n showing me how good they are before I even began to try them and I have not looked back since! BUT a simple trick that I have used in the past with normal EWG hooks is I used to take the hook point and twist it to the side about 15degrees or so. I believe what could happen is the ewg hook being perfectly flat can sometimes be held in the flat position in the fishes mouth and then it just pulls straight out. I see another snakehead catch in your future!!!
Thanx for watching & the info. That's some pretty interesting reasoning. I'm still kind of a novice at casting soft plastics & working them slowly. Usually I'm trolling with paddle tails & when the fish strikes, they hook themselves & Usually pretty good. I may try the 15 degree bend trick. Thanx. I'll keep trying for another snakehead til I get one
nice video Chris! We might have to invent a sky and cloud patter camouflage suit to wear so we don't spook fish! Nice bass!
Thanx for watching & commenting. You laugh, that may be a good idea. In my experience, most fish won't bite if they see you
I love saucy swimmers! I rig them up on 1/16 or 1/8 Jigheads. Also try the snacky swimmers. Snacky great for panfish
Thanx for watching & commenting. I've seen many people on UA-cam use them, including you. I bought them at that tackle shop in West Virginia but just recently got to try them.
Nice!
Thanx for watching & commenting. That huge bird looked so wierd just sitting in those small trees
That was a nice bass you caught! Wish you would have caught one of those snakeheads! Maybe next time! Thanks for sharing another adventure Chris!
Good review Chris, I'm sure Ish appreciates it. I've only got a couple of chatter baits but haven't thrown them for more than 30 minutes total. Not sure how/when to use them.
Thanx for watching & commenting. I use chatterbaits often. You can troll with them, cast & reel straight in or jig with them if there's not a lot of seaweed. They are very productive for me.
I think you found a winner with those chatter baits ! Great video and awesome big fish catches !
Thanx for watching & commenting. I'm a big fan of chatterbaits & these seem to work very well. Not fishing much cuz it's been sooooo hot, hope to try them again.
Man, I never related more to a video before than this one. Had this happen to me countless times!
Thanx for watching & commenting. I lose fish but usually not that often in that short of a time. When those bass jump, they can sure throw a lure
You ain’t got nuthin on me , I can go to several times and not catch anything 😂😂😂
Thanx for watching & commenting. Been there, done that 🤣
Nice review and great video showing how these baits can produce fish!
Thanx for watching & commenting. Ish Tech lures seem to be great quality and the results speak for themselves. Glad you enjoyed watching, I sure enjoyed the catching part.
Very nice bait review and those bass were nice, especially the brut at the end
Thanx for watching & commenting. I sure was impressed with the last bass...maybe my biggest this year. Can't wait to try Ish Tech buzzbaits for snakehead.
Awesome bass at the end bro! Looks like some killer baits!
Thanx for watching & commenting. Maybe the biggest I caught this year. The baits are great quality & definitely work well
Some nice looking baits! That was a very nice bass Chris! Congrats on the catch! For a moment, I thought you were gonna pull in another snakehead! Thank you sir! Hope you have a great weekend!
Thanx for watching & commenting my friend. Not sure if there are snakeheads in that pond, but that would have been awesome. The bass did make my day. Enjoy your weekend
Thanks for the review! Awesome video, nice sized bass 👌🏻
Thanx for watching & commenting. The baits are great quality & they definitely work. That bass could be the biggest one I caught this year.
Thanks for the review. I have been alternating between Ish’s bladed jigs and buzzbaits since May and I have caught a ton of Pike and Bass. He even went out of his way to figure out the shipping to Canada which can be a pain with the number of forms to fill out. I would definitely recommend his baits to anyone. They are durable and well made. I can’t wait to see you catch a Snakehead on a buzzbait. Thanks for the video Chris.
Thanx for watching & I definitely agree on the quality of the baits. Hope to get out rockfishing next week & try the chartreuse one. I will definitely be throwing the buzzbaits for snakehead.
Awesome review Chris!!! This is a better video for my bladed jigs then I made for myself!!🤣🤣🤣 So awesome you caught that bucket mouth on one of my bladed jigs!!!! Hard to even explain the feeling of seeing someone be successful on my baits!!!!! Thanks chris!!!
Glad you liked the video. 30 minutes with the frog...nothing. 30 minutes with the bladed jig & 3 bass including a hog. Got the buzzbaits today, can't wait to throw them for snakehead. Wondered why package was that big. Thanx a million for the shirt. I will wear it with pride 😁.
@@ChesapeakeChrishahah that's awesome, I was never a fan of frogs. Even if you get a hit on a frog it usually never gets hooked good. I'm excited to see how you like the buzzbaits!!! Haha I had a few shirts done and when u ordered I said perfect timing 😂😂😂
I thought for sure it was going to explode on the buzzbait!
Thanx for watching & commenting. I think the lure actually spooked him.
You gotta hawk tuah and spit on that thang! Lol
Thanx for watching & commenting. I'll try anything if it keeps them on the hook 🤣
Hate that you lost him that looked like a really good one! If you have any questions on buzzbaits or frogs let me know I use a lot of them down here
Thanx for watching & commenting. I may talk with you about frogs...I don't have much luck with them
Sure thing let me know they are my favorite! Takes some time to get them dialed in but they are a blast
Let me start by asking do you fish them the same way every time? I usually cast, let it sit for a few seconds then retrieve it by twitching/popping it 2 or 3 times, let it sit for a second or 2, then repeat. I've been told you should pause intermittently & that's often when they bite
I don't always fish them the same. I'll change up the rhythm depending on if I'm using a walking frog or a popping frog and what type of cover I'm fishing. If I'm trying to find where they are at and I'm using a walking frog I tend to keep it moving with no pause. If there's an area I think they are I will slow down or pause to keep it in the strike zone longer. With a popping frog I generally do two-three pops and pause like you mentioned. Sometimes I'll do one big pop and kick up a bunch of water if they want that. If I'm fishing heavy grass or matted vegetation I'll throw the walking frog on top. If I'm using a popping frog I'll work it along the edges
@bigmouthbrice thanx for the info, I'm gonna get back with you about the specific frogs I use. I think they're swimming frogs
