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!!

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!

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...

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

Maybe the warm day confused them and they came out early. :P

Is it just the lighting or was that snakehead that dark?  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

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!

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. 

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.

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

False. 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.

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...

awesome pic Thai. Looks so realistic too. Had me fooled
