Big snakehead haul!

[Franklin]

dang Franklin you and Dutch are killin machines. BTW you holdin on on your MWC brethren, didn't see it over there, maybe I didn't look hard enough. how many hours it take to boat them this time?

its on there!

 

[Franklin]

That's a pretty ugly group.

The fish aren't that nice to look at either.

pritty is for sail boats!

 

[Franklin]

That offer went out the window when those two guys loaded coolers full in Little Hunting Creek. I think they about 400 of them.

yeah it wasnt just them! every crab pot on the potomac had them in it and DNR had no idea how many of them was out there. DNR pulled that add real quik and switched it to a yearly drawing on their fishing report page.

 

[Franklin]

Damn........... do you skin them or scale em? look like crab bait to me. Big fat assed eel!

you can do it either way! its a tuff job scaling them though,even fileting them is difficult because of the grain of the meat. its not like most fish that have a straight grain,it runs diagonal and back so your knife wants to slide up into the filet.

 

[huesmann]

Those are some monsters!

 

[Bushwood]

Nice haul, where can I find one of these bullfrog leg whistles?

 

[Yoshi]

Nice catch! Just goes to show us how invasive they've become.

You have no idea! this is just what we got in the boat not including misses and pull offs! I was letting the arrow fly as soon as i could get it knocked again. the tide went out and the clear water came out the grass nice and clean and forced them onto the mud flats...everywhere. i have shot a few further south aswell so they are spreading out.

Nice job guys

 

[BlackBart]

Ive heard they are good eating fish. Franklin needs to have a MDS fish fry for you guys

You would think............ Eastern Shore or Idaho perhaps.

 

[SOMDSHOOT]

I have to be honest, I have not been fishing in many years, mostly because of all the damned bass tourney's around Indian Head, can't get in the water, can't get out because of all of the out-of-staters, whom by the way think they are the greatest bass fisherman in the world, however, I didn't realize that the Snakehead issue was as bad as it seems to be.

By the way, you know you call a professional fisherman ? A Masterbaiter...

might be a sad case for a joke, but, yes I made that up.

i dont leave the 7th district unless i have to....come over a bring a gun to shoot and some 7.62N if you have it

 

[28Shooter]

Nice haul but does it bother anybody else how big those d@mn things are getting?

 

[Franklin]

you need to worry more about the bull sharks we see more frequently!

 

[T'Challa]

NICE!!!! I have never caught a snakehead. Where is your lucky spot and what do they taste like?

 

[JDove]

You are seeing this frequently?

 

[Franklin]

You are seeing this frequently?

[PJDiesel]

I didn't read,... how do they taste?

 

[Franklin]

good enough to stay out all night to shoot 54 of them! mix between swordfish and mahi mahi i would say. just add salt....

Huh. I am a big fan of both species. I'm surprised you mention those two....
