Do y’all think snakeheads and bass can live in harmony? 🐍🐟🤔

[@calebmckinnis-hp2hz]

I don't think so but I love your videos and I think you are the best KZbinr of all time and it is my dream to do a one rod one reel challenge and if you're reading this thing you want to do with a one rod one reel challenge just reply to this comment

[@michaellatham9737]

Cool idea but no. Lol. Great vid

[@ronaldofanedits230]

You are the reason on how i got back to fishing. Saving up buying a bait casting reel. And catching a 10 pound bass. Thank you so much 1 rod 1 reel. Keep up the great work

[@jamesy1979]

Depends on the size of the water

[@jessesherlock1204]

They’ve been in the Potomac for over 2 decades and bass fishing is just as good as it was 20 years ago…

[@twmonkeyboy]

When I lived in Taiwan, I fished many lakes, rivers, and ponds that supported healthy populations of snakehead (giant, striped, blotched species) and bass. Both seemed to coexist with very little noticeable negative impact on the other. There are few fish that are more fun to catch on topwater than a giant snakehead.

[@dk-bassing3549]

It is my understanding that the snakehead prefer eating banded killifish and seem to just be becoming part of the ecosystem around here. I’ve also heard the snakehead may be making other fish around them larger because their fry are providing a higher protein food source for other fish species to eat. A lot of people who get mad about you releasing them are running off old information that was hammered into peoples heads when they were first discovered in Maryland. Great video.

[@austin27049]

"A lot of people who get mad about you releasing them are running off old information that was hammered into peoples heads when they were first discovered in Maryland. " It's literally illegal to release them in majority of the country. The DNR says they're invasive and they know more about these fish than you do. Stop being ignorant.

That parking lot with the dock looked so familiar to me. I instantly recognized it I believe. I was there for a field trip one day. Out in the river.

[@eabaskervill]

Snakeheads are NOT a problem. I’ve been catching less and less of them the past couple years.😆

[@kelvinthecloud5620]

1rod really be brutalizing the fish before he releases it 😂😂😂

[@NickTheMadFisherman]

John Odenkirk a biologist in VA said that the bass population in every area he has surveyed has been as good as they ever have since snakeheads showed up. We see it in the upper bay as well. We were lied to about these fish and its the biggest reason I release every one. Snakeheads are the best thing to happen to this region.

[@Straight0uttaCrofton]

Saul Goodman said that?

[@dietmilkk]

They kill other stuff though

[@NickTheMadFisherman]

@dietmilk2676 wow a fish that eats other fish, that's never happened in the history of the world before.

[@dietmilkk]

@@NickTheMadFisherman lionfish are invasive because they eat other fish, and this isnt any different

[@NickTheMadFisherman]

@dietmilk2676 except there is evidence to support lionfish disrupt the environment, the bully other fish out of habitat, and few things can eat them because of their venom. On the other hand there is no evidence to support snakeheads have disrupted the enviroments they are in. Snakeheads do not force out other fish, and their young provides an additional food sorce for other fish, not to mention the adults are preyed upon by many different birds and mammals. You can't compare these fish to lionfish because its like comparing apples and oranges.

[@MommyOutdoors]

I still can't believe how many people say snakeheads will damage ecosystems when they don't even live anywhere near MD😅i catch bass right next to snakehead even in small ponds. I also was catching panfish on every cast last year with snakeheads swimming 15 yards away. Like you guys said bowfishing is definitely keeping the numbers down 🏹

[@HOLDFASTHOUND]

If you retrieve a wake bait super fast it will get under the water 2-3 inches, it'll get bit alot on the right day, it's also a weedless crank bait.

[@ph00z00]

bass are more adaptive, except for flood/dry cycles. the bass can move out of the swamps into open water, when snakes can hang out in mud for a long time eating frogs and things.. the bass need to move out to open water for bait ball chasing behavior.

[@matthewcarneyfishing11]

That little bass he put into czarlites fishs mouth is gonna have some stories to tell when it gets older 😂😂
