I'm so glad that I found this site regarding this thread about Snakehead. Snakehead Whisperer I saw one of your videos on you tube, very cool. I really feel as though that bass fishing is better than ever on the Potomac. That being said, when I go fishing now on the Potomac all I want is Snakehead. I'm not certain that I will kill as many as I did last year. I really have started to respect them a bit too much. They are hard to catch, difficult to land and tough to get in the boat. Case in point. I caught a large one about 8 or 9lb or so and put her on ice. Caught the Snakehead on a topwater plug and it was all that I could hope for. Thrilling fight, jumps and nice runs. Got her in the boat, I didn't kill her right the and there and then 5 hours later, I open the cooler and the snakehead makes a go to jump out. Wow. I had trouble killing the fish. Mind you the fish was really good to eat and others enjoyed it as well. I'm just now rethinking what I have learned and from the studies I've read from DNR and other states that have snakehead. It remains to be seen if this threat of the sankehead is as dire as DNR makes it out to be.
See you on the river.
