Snakehead and Bass

[jsnyd86]

Today the Kanvery gang and I went out to Leesylvania. The fish weren't hitting in large numbers, but today it was quality not quantity. I had the first of the day not long after we started. A LMB at 21" (personal best). We headed back to the lillypads and we all pulled a few good looking bass from there at high tide. On our way out the snakehead starting hitting the surface so we focused more on them. Hooked into a few, but Wow, they are tricky fish. Jack managed to get one in the boat for a pic (His personal best at a solid 26 1/2)and then he handed it off to me. Thanks! I still have yet to land one. Some meat in the fridge isnt a bad way to end the day though. Hot lures, rage toad and senko's. Got one on a Yum salamander too.

Nice bass, congrats on a new personal record. That snakehead looks evil! I can not wait to catch one.

Awesome work, gents! Two personal bests in a day is pretty cool.

What's your lady friend paddling there, Jack? I don't think I've seen one of those before.

Cool pictures, congrats to all for help ridding the Potomac River of these beast.

Love it.

I love that last picture! Nice job there. My son and I can't wait to get back out there after them on the tidal Potomac!

Nice job, guys! Heckuva a bass. Congrats! Those dang Potomac Pike are a blast to catch but they sure are slimy beasts.

It was a good time, I couldn't catch a fish to save my life at the beginning of the day but eventually got out of my funk. Jasmine ended up getting a tiny snakehead right after Jsnyd left. It was about 13" but still counts!

Bill- She's paddling a Necky Dolphin its an awesome kayak they don't make anymore. It's super sturdy, fast, and as stable as my Tarpon. It has a bow design more like a touring kayak (I think it's actually considered a touring sit-on-top) which helps her out on the long distance paddles in the bay.

BTW- I have no idea why I look so angry in that picture!

Nice Bass. Great job!

Great report. I especially like the snakehead photos. I sure would like to get one of them this year.

Nice Potomac Pike!

Today at Chain Bridge I saw a well know CB snakehead o'fishyado with a stringer of maybe a dozen snakeheads, total weight of at least 50#. He has been targeting them there steadily for 3-4 years now and REALLY has them dialed in. There must be a knack to it that I have yet to understand.
