Chasing Swamp Monsters: Delaware Snakehead Fishing

Every time we go fishing for snakeheads in Delaware, we hope to catch that giant state record fish that we know is out there. On this day, the mission remained the same, as Matty and I set out to a local swamp to fish for snakeheads with frogs. It started out as an overcast morning that quickly changed to sunny skies, and the bite was weird as a result. By the end of our fishing outing though, we were definitely happy with the results of this Delaware snakehead fishing adventure.
All fish were caught on the snakehead outlawz venom frog!
IMPORTANT NOTE: While Snakeheads are a non-native species, biologists have discovered over the last few years that the damage they cause to the ecosystem is not nearly what was once expected. Many bodies of water containing these fish have successfully adapted to their presence. I encourage you to thoroughly research the data that is out their regarding snakeheads before you make an uninformed comment saying that we should have killed the fish. That being said, everyone is entitled to their opinion regarding these fish. We simply ask that your opinion be formed on actual data and research, not what you heard from a friend or read on facebook.
The body of water that we fished already has a healthy population of snakeheads. Killing a few fish would do absolutely nothing in regards to eradicating the species from that body of water. Instead, you'd be wasting the life of a perfectly good gamefish. Here at Orange 22 Fishing, we encourage you to practice catch and release on all species of fish, including snakeheads. We will continue to do so, and we hope you will do the same as well.
No matter your opinion on this topic, we do thank you for watching our video and supporting our channel!
Tight lines,
Dave and Matt

“Don’t be shy…” 😂 The damage they do to each other when fighting during the spawn is wild.

Nice one guys! You really have the power hook set down!

Thanks Stu! Sometimes I feel like I set the hook too hard, but when it’s a bigger fish I’m always glad I set it hard!

[@KambotroutFishing]

Nice video buddy 💯

[@302FISHING]

Great job catching them snakes!!! Where do u get ur music from?

[@paddleandhook]

Well done on those snakehead. It’s weird to see the tail so damaged, i assume its a byproduct of spawning behavior, what do you think?

[@Orange22Fishing]

They fight super hard over females during the spawn, so that’s likely what it is from!

[@GNRBJJ]

Well that looked like a really fun day!

[@Orange22Fishing]

It was a grind but yeah definitely a fun one!

[@FishingNOutdoorFun]

Snakeheads without tails could be sign of food shortage for the fishes. They start attacking each other tails and fins. Nice video and views.

[@BriansRCStuff]

Could you share what water body that is? I live in Delaware and my son really wants to catch a snake head… We live in Middletown.

[@Eden-br9qc]
