Octoraro Lake

Snakehead!!! Today I did some frogging off the kayak at a lake about an hour from me and had an incredible day on the water. I caught four largemouth bass and a beautiful Northern Snakehead! This makes species number two on the frog. I had probably over a dozen blow ups on the frog, so my success rate wasn’t terrible, but there were definitely some much larger fish that I missed. I completely understand why these things are nicknamed “frankenfish”. I went to ethically dispatch of this invasive critter with a clean knife to the head. After some time of fiddling around trying to tie the fish down to my kayak in hopes of offering its precious meat to a bystander, it flipped out, shaking the knife out of its head and swimming off to the depths like nothing happened. Unbelievable… After the successful day on the kayak, I decided to target some striped bass at a different location and I lucked out with two small ones. I also hooked two catfish that both put me in snags and came off.

A little bit of fishing yesterday evening in southeastern PA. First time using a gopro🤙🏻
