Delaware River

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

Best of five that day...
