Yesterday I headed out to the Susquehanna in hopes of getting on a school of stripers. I found said school of stripers, but before I could cast at them, I was yelled at with a megaphone from a half mile across the river. Apparently I wasn’t able to walk in the water in a small section of river, even though the only sign in the area specified “no boats beyond this point”. I was told to move down river where I found a few smallmouth on my spook and no stripers. Still, I headed to a spot I had some confidence in catching a snakehead and threw out some live minnows. It took a while but I finally had a taker and landed this little snakehead.

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.

Another epic frogging session today on the kayak! This time I decided to downsize my frog since I was missing so many snakehead last time. It kinda worked in the fact that it got way more bites, but I still whiffed numerous snakeheads. After about two and a half hours I managed to land this beautiful snakehead that bit three times before he fully engulfed it. The bass were extremely aggressive today and I caught about six with the biggest coming in at three pounds. Since this frog was so small, I was throwing it on my medium light rod, so it made the fights way more intense.
