Swamp Fishing for ANYTHING That Bites!

I went swamp fishing for anything that would bite! I fished a very unique spot that I had never fished before and it was LOADED with fish!

[@OutdoorsInMaryland]

In Georgia that possibly could be a cottonmouth

[@PryorTravis]

with that triangle-shaped head, I'm pretty sure it's a cottonmouth

[@chrisb9478]

Me too!

[@TheJaymon1962]

Yep. They float higher out of the water than banded water snakes too.

[@caseygross7564]

Looks like a white oak

[@madhatter3640]

It's venomous I can tell that from the triangular head shape

[@agib1368]

The snake was definitely a cottonmouth/ water moccasin. The big bluegill are what we call GA bull hybrids. They can get up to the 3.5 pound range

[@ralphwhittemore5041]

3.5 lbs. Really? Wow up here in New England 2 lbs. is a Monster. Those are Bull Gills!

[@washedintheblood400]

Looks like a water moccasin, aka cotton mouth. Those things are the devil lol. They're super mean and aggressive

[@jessejamesfishing]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

[@TreyJ.]

Yep

[@jessejamesfishing]

@@TreyJ. yep

[@Vulneravariable]

Venomous snakes have more of a capacity for buoyancy and can remain primarily on top of the water. Likely a cottonmouth; best to leave them ol’ boys alone. Nice video!

[@rynodynomyte2755]

Awesome job buddy! That’s interesting spot and it was indeed filled with lots of fish! New places are always filled with fish! I’d say that snake was a cottonmouth and poisonous snakes swim on top of the water!

[@FishHawk]

Thanks buddy!

[@billybeegle6653]

Had a viper shaped head as well.

[@yep.fishing]

Throwing lures into random spots...that's the most exciting part for me. The unknown

[@KevinRapkochFishing]

Exactly, haha! Found a random culvert under a road the other day, threw a crappie jig in there, came out with a largemouth! 😂😂

[@yep.fishing]

@@KevinRapkochFishing exactly, and it's all Intel for yourself. If you don't get a bite fairly qui jlu you don't need to waste time and can move on

[@KevinRapkochFishing]

@@yep.fishing absolutely! 🤜🤛

[@FishHawk]

Absolutely 🙌🏻

[@davidfrazier1186]

Me no like Snakes, looked like a water moccasin. Nice Crappy 👍

[@jessejamesfishing]

Yeah, water moccasin.

[@timothyscott3116]

Lol crAppie... its pronounced crOppie.. After eating mcdonalds i took a huge crAppie!

[@steveklick]

Snake came to check out what all that splashin was.

[@FishHawk]

I think he wanted one of those crappies haha

[@steveklick]

@@FishHawk Yup! He was like hey throw me a crappie!!

[@Letstalkaboutsex1911]

If he says Crappie like that ONE more time!!! Lmao imma scream!!

[@eric-ll6wv]

We think Yankees sound funny when they say it down south. Lmao

[@audrybella6405]

Nice video. Thanks for sharing. Loved : "wonder what kind of snake that is......." Shows no doubt you're not a local Georgia boy else you'd da recognized that snake in an instant. I'd exercise a bit more caution when fishing and meandering about south Georgia swamp waters. Lots of creatures in and around those types of waters that can bite a hell of a lot worse than the bugs and mosquitos!!! Good luck.

[@devinraikkonen8974]

Louisiana seconds this motion.

[@BigMacAttack83]

Alabama thirds this motion

[@possiblepilotdeviation5791]

I grew up in Northeast Texas, and we always pronounced it as Craw-P. Regardless of how you say it, it still eats good.

[@charlesghant3230]

Yeah here in the south we call it crappie like crappy. Yes, still good eating!!!

[@danieln3999]

It is craw-p in KY. Northerners call them crap-ee.

[@davidbarnett5777]

In New Mexico, we say CRAH-pee…I don’t know how these fish were named, but wasn’t there any better word?

[@bamajd8294]

In Alabama it’s “croppie” too. Never heard anyone say crappy lol

[@TheCampGod]

I’m from Texas and I remember the first time catching a crappie I was so confused since I had no idea what it was. Was really fun catching em, GREAT VIDEO

[@hiesterconst]

No idea what kind of snake, but i would say the type you should stay away from

[@FishHawk]

I try staying away from all of them haha

[@danrash8535]

That's the first snake you have showed us

[@FishHawk]

Don’t see many fortunately haha

[@danrash8535]

Thank you for the way you treat the sport of fishing resources in the outdoors I really appreciate your knowledge and care you take out what u bring again thank you wish I could meet you and fish with you

[@johnnygalaxy9022]

OH is that a Fleuger President Reel???!!!

[@KevinRapkochFishing]

Man, this was a CRAPPIE video!!!! 😂😂😂 Good work, Fish Hawk! ✌️🎣

[@FishHawk]

Thanks Kevin!

[@dingytv538]

OMG... stop...its not CRAP-EE...its Craw--pee......lmao

[@richardknott2021]

That's the kind of fishing I love..

[@MaksimOutdoors]

Great video man been wanting to get out and make some fishing videos myself, really appreciate you slowing the video down and explaining everything from your gear to how you’re fishing, subscribed keep up the great work buddy

[@FishHawk]

Thank you! 😃

[@scottsoucy6186]

I wouldn't care what kind of snake it was, as long as it left me alone!

[@davidleimeister5027]

After seeing that cotton mouth I'm not sure I would stick my hand in that water. Brave man FH!

[@FishHawk]

YOLO haha

[@randyshaw8613]

Lot's of crappie today nice change of pace video that snake was pretty cool too those bluegill were massive

[@FishHawk]

Thanks Randy!

[@marke.1021]

A joy to see you toss into the random and unknown and hook up! Happy you still make time in intro to tell of equipment(consistently) using as well. Would be fun if had time for you to do a tad of micro fishing for kicks. Enjoy that area and keep getting us hooked.

[@zaccone_outdoors]

Gotta love just fishing to catch fish. No matter what species! Good work brother

[@tylerberlanda237]

The videos are great man just ordered a fish hawk rod, a few spinners, and a shimano ultegra. I wanted to make a new trout combo, what better one.

[@FishHawk]

Thank you so much! Hope you love it!

[@MANCINGNGELELENGPGK]

Come to witness the excitement of the fishing ... great greetings of success and always the spirit and sustainable greetings my brother

[@alexlarson2203]

It's pronounced (kra-pee) with a soft a. Granted you may be pronouncing it wrong for comments and in that case good job it worked lol.

[@boxingstarcmbballer8797]

Yeah that was a cotttonmouth you can tell by his diamond shaped head body length and thickness ! Definitely don’t want that one to bite ya. He’s fishing too ! Maybe new nickname cottonmouth da fish slayer

[@jessejamesfishing]

That's what I was thinking.

[@shawneldridge4465]

(( 🐊 )) now that looks like alligator's territory, for sure it does. Just be careful in that surrounding area. cool snake there. This was one really cool fish-catching video Yep, I enjoyed watching.

[@FishHawk]

Thanks Shawn! Glad I didn’t see any gators haha

[@shawneldridge4465]

@@FishHawk You're very welcome, At least you seen a big snake

[@timothythomas3820]

Good afternoon ! Fish hawk. What are the name and size of that spinning rod and spinning reel and the name and size of that fishing line that you are used in this KZbin video please. I love watching your KZbin videos. May the lord bless you and your family and your KZbin page in 2023 🙏🤙

[@jessejamesfishing]

Looks like he was using some ultralight spinning gear. LIght line, did he say 6 lb? I think so.

[@riverratfishing]

Just found your channel. This was an awesome video. Those Blue Gill were huge.

[@FishHawk]

Thanks a bunch! 😎

[@ronniegillaspy]

CRAWPY not crap-E

[@appleseeD552]

Awesome man, just AWESOME!🙂👍 Love seein new areas and the species that can be found in them. Anutha great vid bro. Kinda curious how the action would be if ya threw a fly off of a weighted float.🤔 Keep these vidz comin my friend. Peace ✌😎

[@marksmith9194]

I HATE snakes! But I love watching your videos and listening to your commentary. Thanks for showing us your setup. Keep up the great work!

[@raymonddoerr2523]

I have that same fluegar fishhawk. For 50 bucks or whatever it is it’s hard to beat. Fish on!

[@FishHawk]

True that! Fish on!

[@imjuslooking7270]

Nice ifshing there as usual. The snake was an Eastern Cottonmouth/Water Moccasin. You can tell 'em by the fact that their bodies are mostly out of the water, and diamond shaped heads. Good thing you were not down there in waders. LOL!! Nevertheless, he would have checked you out, but not swam up to you and bit you.

[@CHASIN_A_BASS]

Triangular head, thick/heavy body and short tail = Water Moccasin aka Cottonmouth..im surprised he didnt wait for you to toss a crappie back snd dart out to catch it (had one do that to bass ).. be careful.. they will move away from you and turn back to watch you also

[@borumfishing]

The crappie looks stunning. Awesome patterns and colors.

[@kalblinbegreen2759]

Why in the hell would you throw those crappie back? Mannnnn. You’re messing up. Loved the vid.

[@jeffvikings6240]

Are you saying crappie as in like crap/doodoo/pooh I may be wrong but it's pronounced differently 😮 sounds more like o than a 😮

[@robintaylor485]

The title of your video is how I picked up crabs and I don’t mean pick them up with my hands. I caught the wrong anything that bites deal on a Saturday night. Yes I did.

[@beebop9808]

Good idea to wear some chaps walking around these woods in warm weather. Copperheads are plentiful and some scary looking Diamond Backs.

[@sagitarriulus9773]

That Snake was a Water Moccasin the only semi-aquatic snake in North America and they are highly venomous.

[@DeeMoback]

Ask your buddy about the "stumpknockers" ....... those are "good eatin"

[@richardfiedler2201]

Cool video. But I hate snakes of any kind I live in the Northeast Massachusetts. I will wrestle a grizzly bear before I mess with a garden snake. Lol

[@jessejamesfishing]

*As Joe Rogan explodes into the comments section* "DO YOU KNOW WHAT BEARS ARE CAPABLE OF!!???!!??!?"

[@joekeith4917]

Cottonmouth/Mocassin is what that snake was. They’re poisonous and the meanest snakes we got down here. Most snakes will run away from ya, but those will stand their ground

[@kunzhang7891]

强

[@blessedandhappy3921]

That’s a stocked area with an automatic feeder so it not a stretch that you would be catching a crapload of crappie and bluegill. I doubt the choice of ultralight rig, line and bait was random, nor the location. It was a cottonmouth .

[@Crimsontide798]

Looks like a water snake to maybe Midland but I'm no expert lol

[@Jimtom933]

Awesome bro my favorite type of fishing !

[@mizell306]

Pronounce Crappie like you're saying CROPIE not crappy

[@jessejamesfishing]

Haha and the debate continues! You are correct though, Michael. Nothing like hooking into a nice slab crap pee. Jk, peace dude.

[@RoosterCogburn2112]

Definitely a water moccasin. Those bluegills were tanks

[@DeeMoback]

Sure looks like our swamp......looks like south Georgia plantation

[@richardeaton2064]

That’s a Cotton mouth- they are territorial and don’t like you fishing in they’re space.

[@Dnice_rozayyy]

U talk way to much bro be quite and jus fish 🐟

[@2713walker]

Outstanding video….thanks for posting!!

[@mrmatt7210]

Cotton Mouth / Water Moccasin. Diamond shaped head is a giveaway your looking at a pit viper. Note how it swims with the upper half of its body above the waterline. Georgia has a good population of "Water Snakes" which look very similar to Moccasins , however they tend to swim with their body under the water and their head lifted above it.

[@sharongrosscup6956]

The snake was a Cotton Mouth very venomous. When hiking in woods of Georgia you have to watch your step.

[@jessejamesfishing]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking too.

[@guntrader5652]

You can tell by the head shape that was a viper. Definitely a dangerous snake

[@darylechankheo3567]

Jigs are not suppose to sit still brother lol always gotta move it.. called jigging for a reason lol

[@Travis_Rivers]

If you can get some legal crappie culled out of there those little guys will thrive good for the ecosystem

[@atlrod72]

What is that place a walking trail ? Would like to go there and fish and take some pics

[@tomritter493]

Nice size fish hawk

[@BabyuCornist]

Cotton mouth (Water Moccasin)100%

[@taterrs2504]

Looks like an old cotton mouth. Used to catch the baby ones and bring them in the house and scare my momma with them lol.

[@jessejamesfishing]

That's what I was thinking.

[@jeremylesso857]

Coppernose bluegill

[@alancummings5651]

Love that type of fishing and crappie taste awesome

[@AaronHuntFishing]

Very cool video, kind of a Forrest Gump box of chocolates trip. and that last bluegill was a tank!

[@jamesalsante2388]

Cottonmouth Moccassin. I'd know that black look and triangular head anywhere... especially in this type of habitat. He's healthy, too.

[@galaxies7426]

catch and release? nah.. thumbs down for dat

[@ImThatGuyouMan]

With that bobber set up you wanna run regular earth worms

Ole paper mouth

Talks to much

[@Tammy-es3ob]

First time seeing your channel. Like it. Subscribing. My first thought on seeing that site was way too many snags to be enjoyable but that little tiny float kept that from happening. Always fun to fish new water and fun to watch.

[@MRmanbearpig1993]

7:55 cotton mouth

[@reynegroblackking8912]

I only use Pfluger reels. You are catching some of the best eating fish there is lol
