An oldie but goodie...! Snakehead looks a lot like choupique I used to catch as a kid in Louisiana... They were good to eat when fresh, but didn't freeze well... Thanks for digging out this footage!

Snakehead is such a major problem as an invasive species it will never be regulated. Good to know, hope your video gets more people eating them!

Great vid!Yes we have a fish in VT called cusk.It looks just like the snake head.We catch them at night like cat fish.I had some wolf fish in mass.looks the same,but salt water fish tastes like scallops or lobster.Thanks so much for your catch and cook!!

Love catching and eating snakeheads. Its a good mixture in taste like a catfish/walleye. Wish there were more closer to where I live. Great video.

@TomyTekOutdoors 5 лет назад

Awesome catch. Whenever I've targeted them, the bite seems to slow down when the sun is high. It took several missed strikes and thrown hooks for me to finally land one. They have become my favorite freshwater fish to catch and eat in my area. It's too bad they get such bad press. Studies have shown that they are not causing a big impact on the Potomac river as seen in the media. It's too bad they dig in the mud over the winter. Spring can't get hear quick enough.

Caught several Northern Snakeheads in Mattawoman Creek (feeds into the Potomac River) in Indian Head MD ..really tasty...they are escape artists, especially the big ones over 10#...

@dseafishingx3 5 лет назад

I'd recently just moved for NJ to MD and I love fishing Mattawoman Creek for LM bass in the summer. First tume I'd seen a snakehead was from a kayaker at the launch in Indian Head. I haven't seen them in the non-tidal section yet , but at route 210 at the Piscataway Creek was a different story!

Snakehead is outstanding. Fun to catch great to eat.

@johnflores6609 5 лет назад

I found they taste like Tilapia and are a great fish to sauce because they are a mild tasting fish. The bass fisherman catch them up here in Northern VA and Central VA. Hope to see another Collaboration with 1fish2fish this year!

@johnflores6609 5 лет назад

@@thetruth9952 Pretty sure the FDA does not allow farm raised fish that eat manure. Support locally sourced.

@finnafishfl 5 лет назад

Yea tilapia is like the only fish I dont like to eat. Tilapia farmers purge there fish in a clean tank for up to weeks with no food so that they lose that nasty flavor. They're gross fish for sure.

@asianroll 5 лет назад

Coming from Southeast Asia family this by far the best fish to eat.

@adamsmith4670 5 лет назад

Bro, I just give some info about this snake head, yes it was so good taste, and this fish have a good Albumin for our body, and a lot of protein, a lot of nutrition, good for people who get diabetes, stroke, cancer, good for skin, good for kids, any many more.. and some doctors claims, this fish can cure patients from covid 19.. May this info good for everyone.. 🙏🏼

@aaronrushton1 5 лет назад

@Kruegernator123 5 лет назад

I imagine they taste similar to northern pike, or some other freshwater apex predator. I would love to go bowfishing for these!

@TheChinest 5 лет назад

This is a great PSA from my perspective. I hate seeing fish wasted, so seeing invasive fish thrown on the side to die turns my stomach.

I wonder how a bowfin would taste in comparison.

@zakiadam3717 4 года назад

That's the best fresh water fish in India, It is most expensive fish to buy.

Never bleed out snakehead they can breath air and will stay alive and fresh for a very long time, even out of water. Great video keep up the good work!

@703fishing3 5 лет назад

I've been on the snakehead wave for 4 years now and in my opinion there's nothing better tasting than a northern snakehead.

Do you dispatch any of your fish before for you bleed them? I would hope so!

@richdunn9774 5 лет назад

Robert Fields has a couple good videos regarding snakeheads and has one w a professor who debunks the myths about snakeheads and their impact on other fish in their ecosystem.

@mattkubisiak7760 5 лет назад

I caught a few this past summer and bled them out and everything, but to me they were just kinda average. Part of me thinks they're promoted as so unbelievably delicious to encourage people to kill them and keep them (which people should). But perhaps I need to try them again (and I plan to) because your reaction is so genuine.

@tresjolieme81 4 года назад

Cod is kinda flavorless and spongy not dense which is why it’s a cheaper saltwater fish I guess.

@jongellman5327 5 лет назад

No one has pointed out that the whole reason they're here is that they were illegally imported for the Asian live fish markets. Of course they taste good!

@ldoumen9904 5 лет назад

do you go to sleep with your caps on?

@leonardcavaretta905 5 лет назад

I love cod, prefer it over haddock. But now, I want to eat snakehead!! Wish I could catch them up here in upstate NY.

@davidjr3769 4 года назад

Definitely want to bleed it out ASAP like you did , I don’t think it would taste as good if you didn’t

@johncoach5419 5 лет назад

It's best when grilled

@echopark78 5 лет назад

Is that the same fish that is considered a invasive species in Florida? I thought they were native to Asian countries not North America.

@otroflores91 5 лет назад

Yes and yes.

@handyandqu 5 лет назад

yes. though it can look similar to Burbot (northern US and canada) and Bowfin. Snake Head (there are a few different species) are from africa and asia, where they are delicacies and have other traditions associated with them, which encourages people from those countries to release them into the wild. From my understanding in most states it's illegal to re release a snake head once caught, it must be killed.

@thedoomofred5174 5 лет назад

handyandqu, I have serious concerns for the person who would mistake a burbot for a snakehead. Bowfin yes, but not burbot.

@finnafishfl 5 лет назад

No and yes. The species down in Florida is the bullseye snakehead. The one invasive up north is northern snakehead. Different fish, same genus

@Kruegernator123 5 лет назад

You are right; they are native to Southeast Asia. But the invasive species in Florida is the "bulls-eye snakehead", which have several bulls-eye-like spots on their body. They look very similar to bowfin, which have a bulls-eye spot on their tail fin, but nowhere else on their body. Bulls-eye snakeheads are tropical, so they have not made it outside of Florida. The other invasive snakehead species in the US is the "northern snakehead", (native to northern China, Russia and Korea), which are larger and more cold tolerant. They are found in the Mid-Atlantic states now.

@tomedwards159 5 лет назад

is it legal to throw snake head back into the water?

Tom Edwards I think in VA yes but MD it’s not.

@vinsennarendra7901 5 лет назад

When i heard a snakehead was treated as a threat in American river, i'm quite shocked. In my country the snakehead wild population is vastly depleted because they are a very popular tasty fish and quite expensive too.

Ok, the video was ok simply because I hate snakes. I don't want anything to do with them regardless of how good they taste. I could scarf down froglegs long before I'd even touch a snake head fish.

@woodystemms3799 5 лет назад

Aggressive, check. Invasive, check. No size or bag limits, check. Good tasting, check. If their temperature range is from Florida to Maryland, I can't help but wonder what will happen when they hit the Mississippi drainage. Would they decimate the Asian Carp that are clotting up the waterways? Or, would the cure be worse than the disease?
