Delaware River

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.

Today I got the opportunity to fish for my favorite PA invasive dragon fish! I spent my morning fishing the Delaware River and landed five different species. In total I caught three smallmouth, a striped bass, a walleye, a channel catfish on a swimbait, and two snakeheads! The walleye and the striper were firsts for me in the Delaware River. Both of these snakeheads were taken back home and filleted for dinner tonight.

Predator hunting

PB Largemouth 5 lbs on the mark, 22 inches.

Today I kayaked over 8 miles down the Delaware River and landed a big snakehead! This guy came in at 30.5 inches long and over 7lbs! However, I didn’t get him from the kayak. I fished from shore prior to launching and got this guy on a swimbait with my medium light rod. The 8 miles that followed only yielded 2 smallmouth. Fishing a fast flowing river from a kayak is quite difficult as you are always moving, so I wasn’t able to spend much time in the holes I wanted to fish. Still, I’m very satisfied with my catch of the day and look forward to cooking up the fillets I got from him.

Woke up at 3:30 to head to the Delaware River today in hopes of some snakehead. I managed to catch one in the first 5 minutes of fishing! However, none were landed in the 4 hours that followed. Still feels good to come home with the skunk off the board and some meat in the freezer for next weekend 😉 #catchking
