Bigs Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 thats a pretty swete pic there Thai, I take it Brent took that pic ? I'm gonna have to get my big behind down there in the next few days and catch some too. Just got all my reels back from the reel guy and Im anxious to test'em out before I hit lake anna. Wheres the bass pics from today ? Quote
quanjig Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 Wow Chris, be nice. Thai was nice enough to show me this magic spot as it is quite a sight to see!! Some very nice fish in the mix. Thai, don't put up with any of the nonsense XL throws out here, he loves to stir the pot!!(that was funny) Chris is a big bass freak, he does not enjoy the 'lil ones. He's more likley to go fish somewhere that has the possibility of double digit fish. Chris, if you want to get into the big snakeheads it would be in your best interest to get ahold of these guys come summertime!! Quote
NewAngler Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 Ha, i got it the first comment he made. XL seems to know Briery pretty well. I may be going down there come march, gotta get some deets on that place! Quote

NOVA Angler Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 Went out to my spot for 2 hours today, ended up banging out 10 bass, 1 nice 1.5lb Crappie, a gold fish, and the first snakehead of the year! Caught her on a 4'6" ultralight rod with 4lb FC line, one hell of a fight let me tell you! At first I though I had tail snagged a carp with the crappie tube I was using but those doubts were soon put to rest when she came torpedoing out of the water, I immediate loosened up on my drag as I knew this fish could easily snap the line. I played with here for a good 8 minutes before my buddy landed her for me, she was dissected and her stomach contents examined, she was also full of eggs! If I had to guesstimate I'll be generous and say she was around 24" and 4lbs Nice catch! I would say that fish goes more than 4lbs, but it always hard to tell from pics. I caught this snakehead a couple years ago in Kains Creek and it was weighed at 8lbs. I think the shape of their bodies makes their weight a little deceiving... Quote
Thai Posted January 29, 2010 Author Posted January 29, 2010 Nice catch! I was being generous like I stated, it's no more than 5 though, I've handled alot of SH's and weighed my fair share, I'm certain this one was 4 1/4, the picture just makes it seem a little bigger... Here's a 36" from 06 Quote
LHC - Bank Robber Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 d**n already hookin into one of them monsters, I thought they burried them selves in the mud in winter. Quote
A.Do? Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 Maybe the warm day confused them and they came out early. Quote

VABasser Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 Nice catch!

Here's a 36" from 06 Is it just the lighting or was that snakehead that dark? I've never seen one so black Quote

I've never seen one so black Big bull male in breeding dress, males get a dark brown while females get really light which makes their snakepeel pattern just pop Quote
T.R. Express Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 Nice pics fellas! Thsi snakehead has elluded me. Thai, you resemble the late Brandon Lee with that last photo with long hair...Cool... Quote
NOVA Angler Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 Nice pics fellas! Thsi snakehead has elluded me. Thai, you resemble the late Brandon Lee with that last photo with long hair...Cool... Had a chance to throw that Dobyns glass rod yet? Quote
Thai Posted January 29, 2010 Author Posted January 29, 2010 Nice pics fellas! Thsi snakehead has elluded me. Thai, you resemble the late Brandon Lee with that last photo with long hair...Cool... I got told that all the time, I still dont see it though... If you havent caught one yet you're in for a treat when you do get bit, one of the better fighting fish in terms of strength, disposition to lures, striking power, speed, and aerial acrobatics! Once the weather warms up I'm thinking of getting a NOVA Snakehead tourney going, I know of some primo places to catch double digit monsters, I'm sure we can get you hooked up on one! Quote

When I caught the one in the pic, it was the first one I had ever caught so it was very unexpected. I was fishing a senko and when I felt the bite and set the hook, all hell broke loose. I thought to myself if this is a bass, it's without a doubt my new personal best. As luck would have it, it was a personal best, just not the one I was looking for. Quote
T.R. Express Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 NovaAngler, I'm going to try out the Dobyn's tomorrow. Flippin4it has a secret spot he says should be clear... I'll let you know how it goes. I got the Dobyns paired up with a Patriarch XT, nice and light. Thai, if you throw a snakehead tourney, let me know that sounds like a lot of fun. I've seen them brought in during our tourneys. They look like they would make a great belt or boots. Some even say they are delicious. Quote
Bigs Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 There's more to this Brandon Lee connection then you may think. Thai is actually a ninja which is how he sneaks up on these fish and fools them. I would love a snakehead tourney but I should probably learn how to catch a few first dont ya think Quote

I was actually a top secret japanese military experiment to create the ultimate bio weapon that went awry when I escaped from the facilities and mutated to giant proportions and wreacked havoc to the surrounding towns and villages.

T.R. Express Posted January 31, 2010 Posted January 31, 2010 lol.... Come on guys! Ninjas are Japanese, and Brandon Lee was Chinese... And the name Thai is obviously niether... I was in the military a long time and no, no-one looks alike... I can tell Filipino from Korean to Okinowan. Nice pic with Mount Fuji in background... Manong... Quote
Bigs Posted January 31, 2010 Posted January 31, 2010 awesome pic Thai. Looks so realistic too. Had me fooled Quote
Thai Posted January 31, 2010 Author Posted January 31, 2010 Brandon Lee was mixed! As am I, vietnamese/german! Explains my abilityto grow a sweet asian beard! Quote
NewAngler Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 This first snakehead thread alowy turned into a personal photo album for Thai. Quote
Thai Posted February 1, 2010 Author Posted February 1, 2010 There's a personal set just for you josh... PM for details I dare ya Quote
