Well it finally happened. And what's funny is that when I first got on the water tonite , my buddy was already out there on his boat and had a snakehead in his net as we pulled up in my boat. So I took it off his hands to cook up and trolled away. While we were fishing I was being grumpy cuz I never get to catch them. Fast forward two hours, I tie on a baby minus 1 and catch this in about 16 inches of water. Weighed over 4 pounds, not a monster but meaningful to me since it's my first.

that's a little one but it sure has some pretty markings!

did you see this?

ya I saw that and I would hate to have to even deal with that monster. This one I caught got filleted as soon as I parked my boat in my driveway. I also made fillets with another one thats around 7 pounds that my buddy caught tonite. Plus I still have two giants in my freezer. I have enough to last me all summer considering you cant eat it or anything out of the river but once a month or so

Congrats on the first one, im sure it wont be the last.  I also got my first of the year the other day it was a dink, but still managed to destoy my fav spinnerbait.

Dan do you have any more info on that monster you posted? I'd sure like to know the weight on that beast.

Ya it surely won't be my last. I found a spot that is chalk full of snakeheads. My buddy has been catching several every time he goes to this same area. So I plan on catching and destroying as many as I can . probably wont make a dent in the population but every one that I kill wll at least help a little. I been goin to this spot so much that I totally forgot bout going to Lake Anna cold side for some bedding bass.

You're really not going to do any damage. They just breed too fast. People have been killing every one they catch for years and they are still growing in numbers at a very high rate. They sure are fun to catch though.

That's what she said - might want to close the barn door for the next photo shoot chief.
