Airborn Mega Snakehead from Potomac Creek with Rob 7-29
It was a brutal morning of fishing. On the water by 6:30 and the humidity was kicking our butts already. For 3 hours..........NADA. Around 10am we did find some snakeheads, but they would only nip at our baits........must have missed 6 or 8 in one area. Finally around 10:30 we find a very snakey-lookin area and I toss a topwater bait to it. Get a swirl.........let the frog sit.......one little twitch.............and BOOM! It's a big one and is going nuts! Get it out of the pads and it goes absolutely airborn at least 5 feet into the air. It was the most amazing thing I've ever seen a freshwater fish do. I thought it was going to land in the boat from 4 feet away. Rob can't believe this fish's acrobatics, but gets the net quickly and we get her in the boat.
29 inches and 9.5 pounds. Not my biggest, but still a nice fish.........and the only fish we landed today.
Hell or High Water...........I'm Fishin!!

Nice job! That had to be fun. I am after one like that!
This week the bass bite has been slow for me. Fishing evenings. Last 1/2 hour before dark it's turned on a bit. Tide related maybe? Started to get action after the tide started running out. Small ones on incoming or slack.

That's incredible, I'm going to have to really think about getting a gaf for the kayak (Or a better pair of lip grips).
