Ok I was wondering if he was from Maryland new to channel and to snakehead just started fishing for them last summer I live pretty much right on bush river and I certainly haven’t torn them up not sure if do you bow hunters or what but keep hearing how they are invading the water ways, well I have been out 3 times 2 on bush once in gunpowder and yet to catch one , quite a few bass ,sure it’s more me then anything , I know the water has still been in the 50’s hoping things will get better for me even last year I was lucky to catch 1-2 every time out

[@brentmusgrove9594]

👍 on the addiction baits bought one of their kits and came with couple weed less in lines and chatter baits now I haven’t caught any snakes on them yet but have caught bass the weedless set up is awsome and am pretty optimistic that gonna land some snakes on them this season being able to throw right into cover with them

[@UnwrittenSpade]

I live on the magothy river at gibson island and we have boats out at like 3am with huge light snakeheading I came here to learn and get my luck this week. I catch a ton of perch white and yellow and crabs and flounder here and pike but I wanna go for a snake head to eat it, I ate one last week was actually flakey and good I was suprised

[@fishingwitht-boz4428]

The revolver is 🔥 it puts out a deep thump and chop and you can work it like a spook as well not to mention the stickies hooks they use are scary shard and stay that way!

[@marloncasople5854]

Thank you for information I love catching snakehead and may favorite lure is frog lure🎣♥️♥️♥️♥️🎣🎣

[@JFM_SNAKEHEADHUNT]

I really like the frog lure and jumpfrog that was so effective for snakehead fish

[@user-no9qb6lj7c]

Just getting into snakehead fishing myself … I’ve seen a bunch at little senica lake but it’s difficult to get them to bite, I’ll try out some of these lures … great video

[@HooksetTv]

Thanks brother..I've targeted them twice at Seneca, I'm 0-2.. tough to catch when they are paired up.

[@user-no9qb6lj7c]

@@HooksetTv man I saw some huge ones in there … they were not even close to interested in chatters or paddle tails … going to toss some frogs around there this weekend

[@powergod897]

appreciate u gathering this info

[@allen9462]

My favorite is the paddle tail swimbait in a underspin jig head hook...deadly combination.

[@johnsonsario9101]

Nice master good lure

[@nuclearwarrior9558]

I use the river frog with a weighted hook and they smash it everytime.

[@YeaYupBoyz]

my fav bait by far is the mouse, white or grey has worked best for me but working them in out of the pockets of grass is money

[@brianplumley9276]

My favorite lure to catch snakeheads on is a gold inline spinner that or white or gold chatterbait

[@daveyenjan1387]

I'm Asian and mainly snakehead from Asia region. The best bait for big snakehead, live bait. Lure also works, anything that enticing to snakehead, it will chase and gulp it. Softbait, softbody topwater frog with spinner on tail(spoon-scoop-shape spinner) @ hollowbody frog(with spinner, you just slowly reel it in), buzzbait, hardbody jumping frog, spinnerbait. Any lure with wild action, snakehead can't resist it. Your main line safer to use braided line of 20 @ 40 pound, leader of 100 pound, the fish might not able to snap the 20 pound braid, its teeth will grind and cut it, they got really pointy sharp teeth like any carnivore. Any line that won't stretch is the better one for hookset, snakehead mouth is all hard bones. Another NO ONE RULE. Count to 3 and set the hook. 1 2 3(HOOK). Don't instantly hook it up, that is the frequent mistake I've seen most in snakehead fishing video. Nice and great video anyway.

[@HooksetTv]

I have had braid cut by very small snakeheads...in my experience fluro holds up better to the teeth than braid...thanks for all the info!!

[@HooksetTv]

I try to always wait to set the hook...but sometimes they will bite feel something is off and spit it out and freak..it's happened many times where the fish will freak out before I set the hook .

[@daveyenjan1387]

@@HooksetTv Been there, 40pound braid snap like nothing, lure and swivel gone just like that. Then I realise the importance of leader line. From then on, I'm using 100pound braid as leader, been pulling quite a fee of 3pounder snakehead, so far so good.

[@daveyenjan1387]

@@HooksetTv Yeap, snakehead always does that. So, my recent method is light tug. Fish gulp, light tug, fish pull back, set the hook.

[@ripermana]

we use alot of jumpfrogs and buzzbaits and sometimes spinners during day time when snake to lazy to catch moving lures 👍👍👍👍

[@timothyjohnson4637]

Im in south Florida i use live shiners with hook to 50pd test caught a 3 1/2 footer yesterday..theres a bigger alot of the artificials cant withstand some the the violent hits by these bullseyes lol

[@FishingFish101]

I agree with the whopper pioneer if you use the bone color you will catch 6+ lb snake head all the time

[@Markd7965]

[@HooksetTv]

Thanks Brother

[@eddiearmesto6367]

I'm curious if a small 2 inch hallow mice will work on finicky snake head

[@HooksetTv]

Absolutely.

[@Delmarvafishing]

I caught my PB snake on a lipless, never caught one on a spinner bait. It ain't for lack of trying lol

[@canofworms9879]

Live chubs under a bobber work great for me.

[@PhillyBirdGang1]

They hit everything I throw. Smaller ones like the little inline spin bates!

[@jcal717]

I caught a 23 inch thick healthy snakehead on a size 40 whopper plopper that never bent a single hook. That’s the very mini whopper plopper that came out this year.

[@HooksetTv]

River2sea upgraded their hooks a few years back...some older ploppers had issues...

Where in Maryland are you located? I am on the Eastern Shore. Never went sneakhead fishing until this past weekend.

[@HooksetTv]

I live in Carroll County...but I dont mind driving to the fish.

[@tenaciousD_enis]

What are those treble hook covers?

[@HooksetTv]

Hook Bonnets. keeps your baits from getting to be a tangled mess and keeps your paint jobs from getting scratched up. Bass Pro has them .

[@MEGAHOUSETV]

White zoom fluke 🔥🔥🔥

You should watch my new Video,,dropped 2 minutes ago,,,White Fluke ruled the Day

Hey man. I'm from Malaysia. love to see your content. keep it up man👍btw snakehead is native to my place and it doesn't get that much big like in your place man

[@Delmarvafishing]

@@R3ZNOVV always a good decision, we did a taste test on my channel Snakehead vs. Catfish my kids picked the catfish lok

[@Moosedigger]

Typically what line and rod reel combo? I generally use 50 lb pp. Do you use a floro leader?

[@HooksetTv]

50 lb pp on all topwaters..straight sunline fluro on everything else...I used to use leaders but had issues with leaders shattering on hooksets..especially when I used Invizx..Sunline fixed those problems but sunline is so awesome I just mainline it and it's dope as fuck.

[@Moosedigger]

@@HooksetTv how about getting cut off with sunline? I lost 2 spinnerbaits last week. What lb test for the sunline?

[@HooksetTv]

I've used sunline exclusively for 3+ years and I haven't had 1 problem...I use 10-14 lb for most applications and I use 20 lb on my jig rods..and 7 on my finesse spinning setups..

[@dellyboyz_fishing4378]

Use the addiction Baits inline weedless lures and the weedless chatter baits they will destroy them just a steady medium retrieve

[@mr.growmo5320]

I just got done snakehead fishing around 8pm and didnt land any at all never have I having trouble finding em bt I pretty much know what to use idk what im doing wrong what do you think bro

[@HooksetTv]

In Summer I always start with topwater and work my way down the water column,,top,moving baits,,bottom /Finnese type baits...but sometimes when it is VERY Hot, they simply wont be actively feeding. I've noticed in late summer heat they will simply lay on the bottom with they're belly's in the mud.

[@richardcarmona261]

What size do you use for the Rage Menace?? Might give these a try on the chatterbait because I've definitely noticed the blade doesn't always thump. Awesome vid btw.

[@HooksetTv]

Thanks man...the 3.5 is perfect I do use the 4 as well when I want a little bigger profile..both work great..

[@Moosedigger]

Also try a Zman razor shadz. They are killer on chatters

[@fishingwithaiden2685]

ive recently started snakehead fishing and whenever I get a bite on the ribbit frog I can never get a hook in them for some reason. I wasn't using the hook with two hooks on it, just a normal screwlock swimbait hook but I still. I've had 10+ bites on it and cant get a hookup. I'm going out this evening and i'll leave an edit if i catch one or not. Edit: I forgot to leave an edit but I caught one on the soft plastic frog. I put him on the scale and it weighed 4.21lbs

[@HooksetTv]

Give them a second or 2 before you set the hook. And set it HARD.

[@fishingwithaiden2685]

@@HooksetTv I usually do but I’m bringing a chatterbait along with me too and hopefully that works

[@edstromberg151]

I’m very new to fishing with lures I’ve always just been a warm small fish or soft shell crab user I just bought a bait caster and want to learn how to use which lures and rigs for different scenarios but I’m feeling overwhelmed any tips

[@HooksetTv]

I would practice just a hand full of techniques at first and branch out after you get the hang of them and build some confidence....i would recommend top water frog,,chatterbait,,weightless fluke. to start...that covers Topwater, Reaction, and Finesse. Gain some confidence then explore other baits from there..

Thanks for the video, watched it a few times, lol. Appreciate the chatterbait tip, using the rage menace as a trailer instead of a paddle tail/swimbait. Snakehead is becoming my new favorite type of fishing, after a few trips out, finally catching them.

2 days ago my brother threw a live perch at Blackwater on a rod and tackle we normally use for Stripped Bass and he hooked into a snakehead so big it snapped his line. Don't overlook the live baits.

[@HooksetTv]

i use live baits when the water is cold,, but when i use live bait ill catch snakes,catfish,crappie,snappin turtles etc.. i like to target snakehead and the best way is with artificial baits.

[@jacobrawleigh6410]

@@HooksetTv reason we threw the perch out there is we tried everything. Topwater, spinner, rattle, crank bait and nothing. So we threw a perch we caught out there and found out they were on a live bait bite.
