That's awesome to see, I've always wondered how they would take a creature bait especially when the water gets up and they're back in the thicker stuff. Those bass were nice too! Was it too grassy for a chatter bait or was there some other particular reason you went with the swim jig?
I’m in central va but I deliver to northern neck most days. I’ve wanted to target snakeheads because I never caught one. Saw a large group of ones in the Wicomico River in a creek around this persons dock. They were easily 30+ with a larger school of juveniles or fry on the other side. I know they have made their way down south of the Potomac so I’m going to start there. What artificial lures and sizes do you use to target them specifically?
It’s passed invasive. Nearly all the fish in the region are non native but after over 20 years the bass fishery the affected regions are better than ever including the Lotomac and Anacostia waterways. The tested biomass levels from shock surveys are higher than ever recorded for the Largemouth bass populations post snakehead introduction… The REAL problem are the out of control blue cats introduced in the 70s. They eat anything.
Good job Thomas! Very nice snakehead buddy! Thanks again for sharing!
Thanks for watching!

Strike King Pad Perch, Poppin Perch, and Rage Shad
Please tell me that invasive fish didn't go back in the water

It did not because they are very good to eat
