Big Old Snakehead Report
After last nights tough fishing I decided to pull some old tricks out of my tackle box and it worked. A good 20 LGMouth fell for it. I sighted a big snakehead slide into a hole and I slid a horny toad over him once and then twice and he went for it. Got him turned with the help of 40lb braid and heavy rod. The fight was epic. But the best part is when he leaped out of the live well twice after we cut his gills out and almost bit the young man.. If only you could have seen his face when this monster came at him..priceless.

Those snakeheads are getting BIG. Have you eaten any yet? I'm interested in hearing how they taste done on the grill or other methods.

I think the picture does not convey the size. 30 inches long and 17 lbs.
And young man who almost pissed his pants. TWICE.. Capt Mike

Thanks for the tip. Putting that one away for later use!!! Took 6lb snakeheads to win the bounty. Biggest I could catch was 3.5 but saw bigger. Got a great snakehead story with pics to show. Might be a couple days before I can post some pics. Also found some quality specks today too. Got pics of them too.
