Delaware River

Decent day out 1 fish didn’t weigh because it was just a small sized fish.

Got to spend my day off in the Delaware River and had an amazing day of fishing! I managed to land 2 snakeheads, 7 striped bass, 1 channel catfish, and 2 smallmouth bass. The second snakehead of the day bit my frog, which is my first fish on a frog in 2026!

I’m okay 😭🤣✌🏻

An incredible day of fishing for snakeheads and stripers! Today I managed to land 6 snakehead, my most productive day yet. I also managed to land 7 striped bass, with two of them most likely being new personal bests! I also ran into two surprise species, a nice smallmouth and a little walleye. I took two of these snakeheads home for dinner and boy were they delicious. After getting home I had to perform some surgery on my thumb after realizing I had some left over jewelry from my pike bite on Sunday.

An unreal morning of fishing on the Delaware River! My only species of the day was my target, the Northern Snakehead, and I managed to catch three of them! Not only did I catch three, but I landed another personal best. After catching a near 12lb snakehead about a week ago, I thought I wouldn’t stumble across another of its caliber for some time, but I was wrong. Today’s Northern Snakehead weighed in at 13lbs and 34.5 inches long! I have been desperately wanting to get a fish mount lately, and decided that this fish would be my first. Hopefully in the near-ish future, this mount will be complete and I’ll be able to hang it on my wall! Today’s success also came with a few hiccups, including an urgent care trip to remove a treble hook from my fishing buddy’s hand and losing a personal best sized flathead catfish on artificial after a 10 minute fight on my medium light rod.

Another successful day of snakehead fishing! I managed to land a few nice fish on the baby whale, including this nice snakehead, a small walleye, and a few smallmouth bass.
