My First

[Shady]

Fished Mattawoman creek for MAKBF event 1 on Saturday. Tried hard to catch bass, but I just don't really have the patience for it or something. However, my first fish of the day, was my first ever snakehead! So, really after that it didn't matter if I caught another fish all day. I did however manage one 13" bass. At about 11 am I gave up on the bass and started soaking baits for cats by the old barge. Weird thing was I could hardly get the cats to come out and play. I caught 5-6 dink channels and had one big fish on, but she came off before getting to the surface. Anyways here are some pics...

WTG on the first snakehead! Now you have to tell what fish taco is like.

Nice, what did you catch it on?

I caught a 23" above the barge and just before 2:30 I was paddling out and saw fish working right off the channel. Had a huge snake nail the spinnerbait, but only had him for about 3 seconds, but it was heavy.

Way to go guys!
I love the way that snakehead looks on your measuring stick. Great looking fish.

Congratulations on your first snakehead. I hope to get my first one this year.

Thanks guys, I caught the S/H on a black and blue chatterbait. The chatterbait came from loupa5 at the susky yp m&g for my biggest fish winner. Thanks loupa5!

Lol, your welcome! Congrats on your first snake head. I've yet to land one but it feels good knowing I somewhat had a hand in landing yours...ha!

Congrats Ryan...every time I see a photo of a snakehead, it reminds me of some kind of high end cowboy boot!

[AbuMasgouf]

Awesome Ryan! Definitely let us know how you cooked it!

[Goody]

Nice catch. I've heard these are good eats. How are you going to cook it?

[Shady]

First round will be blackened tonight. This is pretty much my go to favorite way to cook any fish. Pictures to come later tonight.
