Fishing for Invasive Northern Snakehead (1 of 4) | Field Trips Virginia

[@mallorymorgan7717]

Im excited youre doing this series! I actually went to high school in Stafford, VA and in my oceanography class, my teacher got a license and he went out and caught us a snakehead to keep in the tank in the classroom. I was in charge of keeping the tank, so I got to work very closely with them and feed him live goldfish. The first lesson we learned is that theyre lungfish, and actually have to breathe air to survive. The first night we had him, we came in the next morning and he was halfway across the classroom. We put a brick on top of his tank after that.

[@YakFishField]

Hahaha yep. We learn a lot about them when we go out with the biologist. Very cool you got to experience that.

[@jonathanleavitt2]

Mallory Morgan-Hinckley that’s a really cool story!

I've been fishing for these for years and learned a lot about them. The four count hook set is pretty much mandatory when hooking these guys because they suck the bait in instead of bite it. Their mouths are much bonier as well. Getting that hook set strategy in your mind is almost impossible because when they strike its basically and instant reaction just to set the hook. They are stupid fast. I find fishing for them in late April through may the best because the vegetation is not grown in yet and you can spot them much easier. Also in May the fish are full of roe which makes em that much bigger so most fish that would normally be 8-9 pounds are more like 10-11. Once July comes around its much harder to find and catch them, at least where I fish. Once the water gets hot, the lily pads and grass grows in, its almost impossible to find them. They become very sluggish.

Following this series with great interest. They are such a beautiful fish! I don't see how they cannot negatively affect an ecosystem but I am open to learning for sure.

[@land2d322]

@Landon Vang Ya true they might out compete native species

[@Longtail_edits]

Lake Erie has them. You are suppose to kill them and notify dnr of location

[@israelson4509]

Snakehead fish had a very2 delicious taste & their proteins, vitamins and all the good things in it's meat, we Indonesian called them Swamp salmon, predator fish collectors buy it so expensive from the Breeders,if the fish have big size &rare motif in it skin

[@bolt4694]

I saw these fish in a SciFi movie. They actually crawled up on land, surrounded people in a cabin and ate a couple of them.

[@YakFishField]

They actually HAVE been known to crawl across land to reach new water bodies

[@cadman0752]

And that’s why it was a SciFi movie. They crawl on land but they have never eaten people.

[@tbmac1976]

lmao!!! thats funny. I bowfish these beast. But i will say alot of people are admitting they were wrong about the expected troubles they would cause.

[@xyfuras]

Hah! If the people lived in stilt houses in a swamp then I saw that movie too. I think it was called Franken fish.

[@orchidmilk]

You can slow the aging process down eating this fish. They done studies showing snakehead fish extract stops sarcopenia from occurring and actually reverses the issue. Extremely high in omegas and amino acids. Invasion could be a blessing. They use these fish in Southeast Asia as medicine

[@BoomerangFisherTV]

Love what u said!

[@KWOKGB]

I was born and raised in CentralAsia , where snakeheads was everywhere. That fish is so hardy , so it can survive in very shallow puddles with outside temperature of 110°. Also it can crawl from puddle to puddle. It also hisses when you catch it. Taste is very good! For my opinion:) But meat is very dark and hard to skin it . Normally we peel it with pliers like a sock 🧦 Very invasive! Protect its fry in shallow warm waters. Not only protect but let the fry some kind of graze around. Here is your potato 🥔

[@YakFishField]

Yep, in the 3rd episode of this series we learn a lot about the fish with a biologist that studies them here in the US. Very interesting fish.

[@rangerdanger126]

Mr. Field's, I've not even watched the video yet but wanted to comment anyway! I'm sure its a great video. I ate this fish during a trip to Vietnam. By far one of the best fish I've ever eaten. My guide took me to a restaurant way back in the mountains and rocks where they raised them in 5-7 ponds. I fished for them also from the bank, but only got a few bites. Stay safe and keep making videos.....Rangers... Lead the Way!

[@lonellrodgers8539]

I'm from Stafford, VA and this gets me psyched to catch a snakehead!! I mainly fish for striped bass in the surf, but this year it's time for snakehead!!

[@YakFishField]

They’re a blast dude!

[@viper2788]

Nice! I fish there regularly... good to see you fishing my local waters. Theres something about snakeheads that just gets my heart beating!

[@funnygoat5927]

Agreed

[@max9inmybday]

Watched the channel intro, subscribed right away! Maannn that sturgeon looked huge!

[@YakFishField]

Thanks my man! That sturgeon was the biggest fish I’ve ever caught. Crazy accidental catch. Took me 2 hours!

[@YakFishField]

Haha glad you enjoyed it Manuel!

[@T_Rou_Fish_Videos]

Just watched this 2 years later. Awesome 4 videos. Never caught a snakehead but preparing to catch some this coming spring/summer.

[@codyjewell1460]

Just read this 2 years later. Awesome comment.

[@perceptionmatters7082]

Been looking at your videos and they bring back memories of when I use to fish (became just impatient enough to stop). Which resulted in a recommendation/question. Have you considered going to great lakes to fish for Northern Pikes and/or Walleyes (not seen a video where you do yet, side note they like leaches) ? Walleyes are tasty and if you catch a small one consider using it for a bait-fish to catch monster Pikes (not sure if legal). If you fish in shallow water for pikes, duckling lures should get ya a pike.

[@fishingtip7417]

Good show. I like fishing too. Live bait and lure which one is the best for fishing as your experience

[@YakFishField]

Depends on where I’m fishing and what I’m fishing for. But lures are always more fun.

[@dez97candycl]

Nice! New sub bro bro. The snakehead definitely is a fierce predator and in my experience they out compete bass in small ecosystems. I recently caught my first snakehead in a small pond on the Eastern Shore, MD after landing a decent bass that was super skinny (putting the video out this week). The snakeheads were also thick, full bodied bullies. First thing I did was clip it’s gill plates and bleed it out... no issues and they taste delicious! Congrats and looking forward to following you journey... definitely stop by the Chesapeake Bay and experience “Rock”tober

[@bradleybueckert]

Bro

[@YakFishField]

Interesting. You should watch the rest of this series to hear some thoughts from the leading snakehead biologist in the U.S. He disagrees with your initial prognosis.

[@andrewsimpson2323]

Super cool as ever Robert...that's one gnarly looking fish 👀so looking forward to seeing the rest of the series...and uber cool *Haleigh* lady's got skills 👍☺

[@totasrinivasarao3122]

Wow nice fishing it looks like snake

[@YakFishField]

Yeah they do, that’s why they call em snakehead

[@totasrinivasarao3122]

Thanks l understood

[@bnfishingbounnanouv3334]

So big. Love it ♥️👍

[@TheReelGills]

That was sick man! Great species to check off the list!

[@YakFishField]

Super cool fish. 3 more parts to the series comin

[@BasicFishingNZ]

awesome video lol pretty cool to see u target only the snakeheads. they look like solid fighters especially on light gear haha

[@stevemckibben1201]

That's a very different fish. 4 count hookset? I would screw that up quick. Great catch. ✌

[@14theroad1955]

Great video, I live in South Florida and we have lots of them down here. Never hooked into one of these, from what I can see, they appear to be hard fighting, slimy rascals. Down here they even go as far as having "Snakehead Tournaments" a few times a year.

[@YakFishField]

Those are a different species of snakehead. Florida has bullseye snakeheads, which have prettier patterns and a round spot on their tail. These are Northern Snakehead, which get bigger.

[@14theroad1955]

Thanks for the reply, and the great info. When I started fishing the Everglades about 50 year ago, we didn't have these invasive fish, now they are quite common. My favorite has to be the Peacock Bass, also a beautiful fish and strong fighter..Keep those videos coming, I do enjoy them, for sure.

[@s.o.c_914]

how much to ship a couple up north for my aquarium?

[@vettech0313]

we have them FL

[@YakFishField]

That’s illegal.

[@tomwoods8678]

My buddy landed one in Iowa. How much more North do you need?

[@blaircox1589]

so how wobbly are those kayaks? They seem far more stable than anything I've been in, or are they just really good at keeping balanced? I hate the wobbly feeling.

[@YakFishField]

Fishing kayaks these days are very stable for the most part.

[@ArtVanAuggie]

The "Lily Pads" are actually spatterdock. In that area, snakeheads hit best either side of high tide.

[@YakFishField]

Yep, I called out the spatterdock in episode 3 when we went out with a biologist. Really cool area

[@totasrinivasarao3122]

How does northern snake fish tasts🐠🐠🐟🐟

[@YakFishField]

[@dudedude4375]

Funny how snakehead is considered invasive in America while bigmouth bass is considered invasive in Asia...

[@swkelley]

Exactly. They have over hyped them on TV and the internet.

[@cadman0752]

“Bigmouth”

[@NewWheels-y7o]

Love your videos,, question,, northern snakehead and bulleye snakehead live in different water temperature? I've heard they'll die in a 50° water temperature,,, sorry, I'm new to this,, thanks 👍

[@YakFishField]

Northern snakehead live in Virginia/Maryland and that area. Bullseye can be found in Florida. Both are invasive and come from Asia. Bullseye do not like cold water, northern can tolerate it

[@NewWheels-y7o]

@@YakFishField thanks for the 411,,, I'm from Thailand and remember them snakehead but never seen it got this big,,I also live in SW Florida and want to try to catch some,,, thanks for sharing,,👍🙏

[@mattware9627]

Thats where I grew up. You could basically throw a rock in Aquia Harbors channels and hit a snake head. The bass and cat and snake heads all keep each other in check taking turns eating each other. I fished those waters all of my teens and there were never a shortage of the native fish.

[@mattware9627]

Also wanna thank you. Your videos and Milikin's videos helped re awaken my passion for fishing. My five and three year old daughters love watching your channel with me too.....of course now my five year old is expecting me to take her fishing in Panama 😆.

[@YakFishField]

Yeah. It’s more complex than that though. In episode 3 we learn a lot from the biologist we go out with.

[@AndrewVinhHuynh]

Awesome video!!! Jon is the man

[@chrisreumont]

Rob, you gonna need some fish grips, pliers, and a tee ball bat next time you fish for snakeheads. I watch a video from Florida where they Heidi them in the air and whacked them before putting them in the boat. In some states your not allowed to release them. Nice video.

[@swkelley]

It is perfectly legal to release them where caught anywhere in the U.S.

[@YakFishField]

Yeah, for sure. No states disallow releasing them anymore. All of those laws have been rescinded.

[@frc928]

In NJ you're supposed to destroy them. www.njfishandwildlife.com/pdf/2018/digfsh18-regs.pdf

[@swkelley]

Interesting, this must have just changed. But it would not hold up in court as they cannot force you to kill any living creature.

[@teegee514]

Robert, I have been catching them on chatter baits, lizards, brush hogs, & senkos here in south Florida - great vid !!

[@YakFishField]

Those are bullseye snakehead in south Florida. Different species, but also super cool. I’d love to catch one of those too.

[@ShootFishLife]

Sick bro! Looks like a fun fish to catch....Until it’s on the kayak lol.

[@collieyak971]

Nice work as usual Rob. So that spot was tidal? I thought Bass and Snakehead are Freshwater species? How were you nailing Bass and Snakehead in what I assume is Brackish water? Keep’em coming mate and make sure you get over here to Aus mate.

[@Bigjamez2011]

Would of liked to see this fish walk on land and breathe lol I’ve never heard of this fish until my local news channel on Facebook made a post about them saying if you catch them kill them .

[@YakFishField]

Yeah, they can do both. Pretty crazy.

Love the video bro,but I'm going to be honest with you man here in Puerto Rico US natural resources department introduce the large mouth bass about 60 year's ago and it obliterated the native species and we don't say anything and I tell you and don't get me wrong is cool to fish for bass but bass sucks is way too easy to catch them and if you ask me peacock bass and snakeheads are way more fun and the meat better

[@swkelley]

Bass are boring fish to catch!

[@mojondro]

swkelley don't get me wrong bro is just what i personally think, and yes bass are way too easy to catch

[@billsmith-rq7ki]

Using the term "witch hunt" Implies that you think this invasive species is being persecuted unfairly, is that your view?

[@YakFishField]

I think in 99% of cases, it is being persecuted without adequate knowledge or understanding. Wait for episode 4 to hear my final verdict. In episode 3 we hear the opinion of the lead biologist tasked with investigating the species in for the Virginia Dept. of Game & Inland Fisheries.

[@johnwayne6647]

Northern snake heads should all be killed off ,they are invasive and threaten the native ecosystem and food chain ,releasing back any invasive species back into the water is ignorant .These snakeheads if they continue to travel up the coast could eliminate Atlantic salmon ,trout and other native species .Its just like smallmouth bass up in Canada if it’s invasive kill it and eat it
