Thanks for checking out the video! There is a common myth that they only feed at night. While they are more active at night, you can regularly catch them during the day in the summer.

That is correct! I didn't know that either at first. It's pretty wild, isn't it? It gave me a new appreciation for the species!

I completely agree! In my opinion they are one is the most underrated fish.

Hey, thanks for checking out the video! Yes, adults require fishing licenses to fish there.

They are a great lure! Thanks for checking out the video!

Wow! That is awesome! Thank you for checking out the video!

You are correct on the area! A lot of people don't realize that we have them. They are almost always hidden. Typically I see them hidden between rocks and I have even seen them disappear into sandy bottoms. Thanks for checking out the video!

Thank you for checking out the video! I can only speak for PA. I am not sure about other states but in Pennsylvania you are not required to kill the Northern Snakehead but if you do release it you must release it to the same exact spot that you caught it from.

They are great spinners! Thanks for checking out the video!

You're going to make me cry...

Thanks for checking out the video! Sorry, I do not give out the exact location of any of my eel spots. I only fish this hole once a year.

Thanks for checking out the video! I've never heard of that project. Was it a project to clean up the lake?

@@delconashvilleline yeah. Volunteering efforts to hand pull that shit out. But I don’t think they could keep up with it.

@@outofAlog that's a bummer! It is great to folks volunteered for it though. The crappie fishing was very solid!

@@delconashvilleline you would think with all the vegetation and frogs that there would be monster bass there.

@@outofAlog there may be some big ones there! I just didn't catch them lol. I did hear some stories from locals of big ones!

Thank you! They are an awesome fish. I've been somewhat obsessed with them this year lol.

@@delconashvilleline well I want to get obsessed too HAHAHAHAA

It's decent! I only went there this one time but I had a good time. Thanks for checking out the video!

This comments deserves a full response: 1. The American Eel is NOT an endangered species. That is an inaccurate statement. In the US The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service determine whether a species is an endangered species or not and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service does not classify the species as an endangered species. I'm assuming you got your information from Wikipedia where a random organization (International Union for Conservation of Nature) considers them endangered. They do not set the classification for what is considered endangered in the US. 2. There numbers have decreased through the years. Why? The creation of dams that across the United States of America that prevent them from migrating from the sea where they are born to the lakes and rivers they have lived in for centuries. It isn't because I catch and release 3 American Eels a year. 3. Did you actually watch the video? You could have learned a lot of this if you watched the whole thing. This video is meant to be educational and teach people how to release eels safely as many people catch them on accident and do not know how to safely release them. I try to show people how awesome this species is so we can protect it. I am one of like 5 people in the US who actually advocates for this fish. Lastly, I hope this response helps to clarify things. I don't mind the comment and actually appreciate it but I wanted to make sure you had the actual facts about the American Eel.

@@delconashvilleline All you have to do is Google "American Eel", and the first video to pop up from KZbin is called Species at Risk by the Toronto Zoo. The numbers listed above are from Wikipedia. The American Eel has been designated as an Endangered Species since 2008. In Canada, we know how to count and read.

It may be considered endangered in Canada. It is not considered in danger in the U.S. Here in the United States, we don't follow Canadian law.

I feel you that guy is the worst. Like just reel it in bro.

That's a good question! I'm not sure where the closest to you would be. If I had to guess, I would think potentially the Carolinas.

Very very cool! Thanks for checking out the video!

Thanks for checking out the video! I've seen videos of those New Zealand Eels they are huge. For the American Eel this would be considered a "monster eel" this is pretty much as big as our eels get!

@Truthamen1035 very cool! Thanks for checking out the video! I have a lot of friends in the Hartford area.

There's not any distinct landmark near it to help with the location. It is a long wade through the water to get there.

What is the concrete building in the background

Not a building. Just a wall.

This is a tough one because it isn't easy to get to. I have other videos that state the exact location in the title.

@@delconashvillelinethanks you so much! I will try and figure it out. You're awesome 👏 All these videos are so helpful.

@@rowyntoymaster Thank you! It's great to hear you are getting your 14 year old into fishing! There are a lot of life skills that are learned from being in nature as well as fishing!

That's awesome! Thank you for checking out the video!

Haha, that's what's up! Hopefully, this video will give you a few tips for the lake! I wish you the best of luck. Keep me posted on how yall do!

Yeah, that's what I've heard. I think they're too cool to use as bait, so I let them go and catfish with hot dogs.

Thanks for checking out the video! I actually used a bunch of bigger baits that did not make the video because they fish weren't biting on them. To be honest it just seemed like a day where the bite was slow.

@@delconashvilleline ahh gotcha. Yeah just an update, I used all the baits I said and got nothing as well lol. Not one fish lol. I tried the senko, pig and jig, regular jig, spinners, frog, crank, spoiler shad, shit, even a rooster tail. Not one bite lol. I used something similar to the white lure thing you used, but just got nothing. Didnt have the hellgrammite bait. Was there for about 3-4 hours. Tried my luck at Nockamixon and it was the same story. Only good thing for the day was the pizza for lunch! lol

Really? Is it on something or on the ground? I've given them to people before, lol. If you ever see me there, I always have some on me! I never put one anywhere there, though.

@@delconashvilleline oh wow lol it was on the ground were that spot is where like you have to go down a trench I got exited I thought I just missed you. And someone left a glide bait

@@FamilyGuyShortz0 oh weird! It must have fallen out of someone's pocket or something then. Or I gave it to someone and they just threw it away. I haven't been there in a few weeks though. How was the fishing?

@@delconashvilleline I’m not gonna lie it’s not even been that bad of your going just for some decent sized bass that’s the spot right now if you go on Fishbrain I post all my catches on there my account is reelin jt. But no snake head which is wired

That's awesome! I love to hear they are thriving!

Thanks for checking out the video! There are some deep areas of the lake. I'm not sure how deep, though, because I don't use a depth finder.

Haha, you are correct!

I know exactly where you are talking about! Funny enough, I've been thinking about making a video at that spot for a few weeks now. I'll see if I can get out there before the cold weather sets in. Thanks for the suggestion, and thanks for checking out the video!

@@delconashvilleline I will say the water is very low right now. The 5+ usually are everywhere after a big storm so if you are going to make a video make it then. And at the waterfall the like live bluegills. The waterfall has big bass and giant snakehead after storms.

That's awesome! They are awesome fish!

Hey man! Thanks for checking out the channel! I'm not gonna lie to you... there aren't too many public lakes or pond in Delco. What type of fish are you looking to target?

@@delconashvilleline Thankfully I have a small local pond with some Large mouth and bluegills, but when it comes to trout, crappie or smallies I'm stumped 🤷 I usually just flee to Delaware lol

@@standbymedia eh... Crappie are tough around here. But... Trout and smallmouth are plentiful in our area. Any creek will hold (with the exception of crum) gets stocked with trout. Smallmouth are in most creeks with the Brandywine having the most.

Awesome! Thanks for checking out the video! Ideally you want a creek, lake or river that isn't too far from the ocean.

Thank you! I used a frog for a year before catching my first fish on it, so don't get discouraged. Summer is def the best time of year for the frog!

@@delconashvilleline wow ok thanks the bass have been slow I feel like

Thank you! Are there a lot of them in bucks county? I didn't think they had a large presence there. But good luck! They are a fun fish!

It's a good one! I prefer the ned rig setup!

You were there for catch 2! That was the one that I showed you.

It's a really good question. My answer is I'm not sure. In my personal experience bass fishing this year in this area has been poorer than the last two years. I don't know why though. It could just be an off year, it could be due to water conditions, it could be due to competition with snakehead and other species. It could be I just am off my game and cant catch them this year lol. It's a good question that I do not have the answer to! I appreciate you checking out the video!

Haha you know I love them

Those are the best fishing trips!

They are all off trails. To be honest I walk all over the place. It can be very hit or miss and is extremely pressured. It's one of the most pressured waters that I fish.

Definitely should have lol. But this was my first snakehead so in full transparency I still learning about them at this point. I'll be releasing more snakehead videos in the coming weeks. You'll see in those I just grab the fish lol.

Thank you! They're an awesome fish! Pablo thinks the fish that was chasing my bass was a bigger bass and when I watch the video it is hard to tell! I guess we'll never know!

Thanks for checking out the video! And I completely agree if you go north the water gets pretty clean.

Thanks for checking the video out! I hope your luck turns around soon!

I agree. I definitely had more luck in prior months. My stats for this month are two bits. One I landed one spit the lure about 6 feet from the bank.

Have fun! I actually have a snakehead video I am editing now for next week so stay tuned! It'll feature 3 catches from this year. I would say just make sure you have a medium or heavier rod! I had one on Sunday but he spit my lure 5 feet from the bank. I didn't get a good look at him but he felt big!

@@delconashvilleline ok thank you I use frogs but none that bite so I was wondering what your go to lure is

Multi species nice bro

@@willalwaysfishing3136 thank you!

@@FamilyGuyShortz0try a green pumpkin paddle tail witha swim bait hook I like the berkley ones from Walmart Rage swimmers are ok paddle tails
