Kayak Fishing in Mattawoman
Type: Tidal

Kayak fishing on 5/02/13 on Mattawoman Creek around Indian Head with my son, Jonas. We caught a couple of bass on texas-rigged worms and this 21” snakehead caught on a topwater frog. It was taken home and filleted for a later dinner.

Snakehead for Dinner
Type: Tidal

Caught this and two smaller Snakeheads in the Mattawoman Creek area during a recent club trip to the Potomac. The fish were killed, photographed, grilled, and eaten by our members! They loved it! The bass fishing was excellent too!

Snakehead Captured and Cooked
Type: Tidal
Region: Southern
Location: Port Tobacco Campground
This 27-1/2" ugly thing was caught in a crab pot off the seawall of Port Tobacco Campground. No bait used and it just weaseled it's way in. Filleted with electric carving knife, grilled with salt and pepper and was actually delicious…

Another Tagged Snakehead
Type: Tidal
Region: Southern
Location: Potomac River Creek
I was able to arrow some more Snakeheads on Friday the 26th of April. The one in this picture was tagged. I think it was a good idea to change the tag color to the bright orange. It makes them very easy to see. I have called in this fish already. I did notice a lot of bass starting to bed and I am not seeing as many snakeheads as in past years.

St. Marys Snakehead
Type: Tidal
Region: Southern
Location: St.Mary's River State Park
Today, during a bike ride around St. Mary's River State Park we found a living snakehead fish (20" long, 3 lbs) on the shore. It was placed there by one of the two anglers that were at the site. It was caught just below the outfall of the dam in the catch pool. I severed the spinal cord and the angler removed the fish presumably to consume it.
