  • 6/15 Snakehead

    Went out on Dogue Creek for a couple hours today and ended up catching my first snakehead. My line was tangled during the fight so I called it a day but there were more out there. I could see them break the water and then a few bubbles surface as if they were exhaling. I'm going to head back out this weekend and try to catch one fishing topwater. We'll see how this goes...

      They are supposed to be a good table fish- I am going to see about some recipes for them- but figure to catch a few this Sunday in Mattawoman Creek- nice going- what did you catch it on? Looks like you were using bait.

        Nice! Congrats!

        I've also heard they are good eating. Are you planning to cook it up?

            That's awesome. I read a few years ago on the VDGIF site that Dogue Creek is a snakehead hotspot. I've been wanting to fish it since then. Where did you launch from?

              Nice catch! I hope the fish was fully dead before you held it in photo #3 with your thumb in its mouth.

                Pinch, sent you a PM and am ready to get back out there.

                ronaultmtd, I caught it jigging a plastic worm and was getting ready to try some topwater when it took the bait. Ended up giving it away to the guy that took the pic but I'm looking forward to trying some this weekend. When are you going out?

                      I figure out of all of us - one might catch a snakehead, but even that isn't a given- lots of people have fished hard for them and have yet to catch one- they may be here but the fish are fish and fish can be finicky about biting- the most probably happening Sunday is we all catch some Bass and maybe a channel catfish or two and get some exercise paddling our yaks-
