You are absolutely wrong its not an opinion its the marine scientist of the state of MARYLAND who say to destroy them what do know you I,am 63 years old and have seen the decrease in our native panfish population personally, They out breed our native fish and out eat them, If you cant kill them , then stay out Maryland and let those who can kill them do so.
Good video. I fished Blackwater from 5:30am till 2pm today. Only had a 20 min stretch of fish hitting, it was slow the rest of the day. First time fishing there so maybe it's more a learning curve.
Thank you! It’s been really slow in that area lately. I had a buddy of mine go out there and fish all day yesterday and he only caught bass and catfish while he was targeting snakes. They’ve been dormant for a few weeks, but I would expect a nice fall bite to turn on there soon!
@@Orange22Fishing thanks. That makes me feel better about my success rate. Lol... I fish the susquehanna a lot and fishings been slow there as well. I think a lot has to do with the hot dry weather. I've caught several in the susquhanna, they just seem to be everywhere in the state now.
Chartreuse is a gr at Color for Snakehead, they love it. I use the googan leopard filthy frog with a trokar hook. Trust me I've caught a ton of Snakehead I live in Maryland my whole life. They love chatterbaits also. Depends on the situation
Surprising you guys don't eat snakeheads. They are called verral or murrel here in India. They are a delicacy and very expensive in the fish markets. They never reach the size you guys have there.
Bro I was thinking it was a dragon by the way it crushed it 😂 little dissapointed by the size of him, but I could listen to that pop on repeat all day long haha
@@Orange22Fishing yes it is fr! go on Google Earth also you did not hear this from me lol! because you can possibly get a $250 ticket and go to court for fishing there, but it’s right next to Dover Air Force Base there’s three separate quarry ponds 500 ft deep and a 10 foot area you can walk out and walk all the way around the pond at each one, and I catch 20+ bass each Sunday morning they do not work there on Sundays so that’s when I fish there I go Saturday night at 12 AM Sunday morning basically and fish through the night then leave at 8 AM once traffic starts to get heavy!
Maryland has no fishing limits on invasive fish like northern snakeheads, blue catfish, and flathead catfish, so anglers can catch and keep any number of them at any size, at any time of year. In fact, the Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR) encourages anglers to harvest their catch and remove and kill any snakeheads they catch. You can also report catching snakeheads online on Maryland's I
The Maryland Department of Natural Resources and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is continuing a northern snakehead tagging program in an effort to spur removal of invasive fish from our waters. This spring, up to 500 tags will be put on snakeheads from Gunpowder River, upper Chesapeake Bay tributaries, and Mattawoman and Nanjemoy creeks of Potomac River. Anyone who harvests a tagged snakehead will receive a prize of either $10 for a yellow tag or $200 for a blue tag. Anglers can report the tag number to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service phone number found on the tag, and they will be asked to email a picture of their harvested, tagged snakehead to Maryland Department of Natural Resources. Only snakeheads that are harvested-removed from the water and not returned-with a tag number that is reported by the end of 2024 will qualify for monetary rewards. The program also helps biologists measure snakehead harvest in the Chesapeake Bay watershed. The measure of harvest helps agencies learn if the fishery is being managed in a way that helps minimize impacts of northern snakeheads. The population of snakeheads has been increasing in the Chesapeake watershed since 2004, when they were first discovered in Potomac River. Snakeheads have also become valued as a delicacy by anglers who harvest them for food. More information on snakeheads is available on the Maryland Department of Natural Resources website.

Neat Lilypad's , usually only see the spatter dock which seems to be sticking out of the water higher than usual, this season in Maryland. Enjoyed the video!
@@PatapscoMike good luck blurring out every single lily pad on the river 😂 Also, how would you know that’s the only river with them like that if you had never been to that river before? Not a spot burn at all
It’s made by a local tackle company called addiction baits. I highly recommend it! Here’s the link to their website: addictionbaits.com/shop/ols/products/addiction-baits-fish-grippers
I'll never forget when I learned that "the dangle" is a viable fishing technique. Chuck a lure out over a branch... a low hanging reed... whatever... and let it bounce in/out of the water. When it's effective, it's EXTREMELY effective. But then you have to figure out how to get your fish out of a tree. (Glad you got yours out of there.)
That was my first time getting one off of the dangle. I don’t know how that would have gone if it was a big fish, but I’m sure it would have been exhilarating!
