The Snakehead Contest is being incorporated into an Inland Freshwater Survey on the Volunteer Angler Creel Survey webpage. For 2013 the end-of-year random drawing will include anglers reporting snakeheads to the Anglers Log as well as anglers participating in the Volunteer Angler Creel Surveys. We encourage anglers to continue to report snakehead catches. The information is helping our biologists better understand how this invasive species increases its range.

My Biggest Fish, a Snakehead

Type: Tidal
Region: Southern
Location: Mattawoman Creek

I was fishing on Mattawoman Creek using a LiveTarget scum frog. I caught a good sized Largemouth Bass and a Northern Snakehead. The Snakehead was so large it would not fit in my net so I was forced to paddle with one hand while controlling the fish with the other until I reached land. Biggest fish I have ever landed, 13 lbs. 12 oz. 34 inches long. I love Snakehead fishing!
