What a day! I once woke up at 1:00AM to fish in DE

@@twofoldfishing9931 Haha one of these days I’ll do the same to fish in VA!!

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.

🤚

Here 😅😅

Love comments like these! Glad you enjoyed it!

Just got my hands on some rip roads and man they do look awesome. Can’t wait to try them. Thanks for the kind words bro 👊🏻

Right on!!

Hahaha bro by the sound of that pop, I thought I had a 15 pounder on there! Almost peed my pants LOL

Thanks bro, seems like they’ve been spawning all year 😂 I need another biggin’ here soon!

@@vaguepastelle congratulations! Most fun fish to catch in our area!!

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.

If it weren’t for my buddies nudging me to get on the water that early, I definitely wouldn’t have lol. It was worth it though. Thanks for watching :)

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

Man these pads were the size of truck tires, it was insane! Thanks for watching brother 🤙🏻

@@Orange22Fishing It's American Lotus. Only one river in Maryland has those, it's a total spot-burn to show videos with those in the background.

@@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

Elkton md

Wish you could have been there bro it was a blast! I paddled 8 miles by the end of the day!!

Disappointed you let them go by law u can't return them invasive species they kill our native fish. Kill them!!

@@larrybirchfield9759 no it’s 100% legal, as stated on Maryland’s department of natural resources website.

Well they're here to stay and an awesome game fish so enjoy them!

@@shaynacatherine8286truth!! 👍

I thought it was illegal to release any snake heads in maryland.

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!

Thank you very much!

@@timyowell3105 completely legal

All the way until the temp drops below 60 consistently.

Thanks buddy that was a great day, glad I got to fish with you!

@@Orange22Fishing same bro hopefully again thise week!

Thank ya for watching 🤙🏻🤙🏻

What river is he at?

Hahaha bro I almost sent that one into outer space 😂

Tuckahoe Creek by the state park and the lake

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

Thanks

Delaware has a lot too but they’re definitely easier to find in MD that’s for sure!

That sounds awesome!! In Delaware?

@@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!

Indeed

I was getting a lot of them at places like this during the spawn, but they’ve seemed to have turned off a little bit lately.

Read the video description please

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.

I fish Mattawoman in Indian Head Maryland. Snakeheads and gar are always biting there.

Hey hey

It is completely legal to catch and release snakeheads in Maryland my guy

@@billsyed because the public is mean and trashes good spots

Definitely is! Now through the end of September should be great!

Awesome! Is it worth a 2 hour and 30 min drive to go catch some?
