Aug 4 Potomac Snakehead
Decided to go out this am on the yak and had blow ups on the very first cast. Actually had about 6 blow ups but the fish are all blind!
Landed a nice snakehead that went to some nice folks at the dock. I am frying up a couple filets right now from my catch a month ago!
I have introduced at least 4 different people/families to eating snakehead. They were all excited to try but today's father son duo have been waiting to try for a long time. They were extremely grateful.

Re: Aug 4 Potomac Snakehead
Watched the video and I am so proud of you. Why, well you close the bail with left hand and waited to set the hook. Those two tips that greatly increase hook ups.
Good work.

Re: Aug 4 Potomac Snakehead
Snakeheads do make great picture fish
Especially next to the Mac & cheese and greens!
