flaswimbaiter Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 I have been using small baits and catching 3 pound fish and believing those were big , I never thought I would catch one this big. I guess sometimes it does take a bigger bait to catch a bigger fish; she was 7.5 pounds which is twice the weight of my second largest. As you can tell from my face I am really freaking stoked.

jolley Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Nice Dave. What did you do with it? Are they considered invasive where you are? I bet it put up a serious fight with that tail! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vedak Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Nice dude! What kind of line did you run? I know snakeheads have some pretty aggressive teeth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flaswimbaiter Posted April 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 I was using strait braid which is taking a risk. I went back the next day just playing around with a frog and got an eight pounder. Oh yeah Mickey, they fight like hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
