Caught another snakey and a bunch of bass. Average bass weight was lower than previous trip but I was using the flick shake more than the toad this time. I have to say I have been catching a lot on the flick shake with a Reaction Innovations "Flirt" worm.
Snakehead #2 for the year, in fact, the second in as many days...

Dan...you got those sankeheads dialed in. I would love to catch one just to cross off the bucket list. Great job dude!!!

I have to thank thai for showing me what to look for when fishing for snakehead. I do feel like i know where they are at my new spot, its just a matter of timing the tides and not missing hooksets.

OK...I am ready!
Nice work!

Those things love to follow and slap at stuff. Lost about a 30 incher the other day when flipping. It sucked my craw in when I was reeling it back so I set the hook and the Snakehead shot right out of the water. He came off near the boat. probablly 7 or so pounds. Also had a baby one (18 or so inches) slap at a Pop-r the other day. They are out there, just hard to hook and get to commit.

Nice job! In my limited experience with them I haven't seen where they really attack a lure. Seem to just latch on. Is this your experience as well?
I've also "discovered" Pohick this year. Convenient for me to get to after work. May hit it tonight...

greenranger, yes I have missed several in my past few trips where they missed the bait. The second one I caught (last year) hit my frog three separate times before I hooked him.
jjfoley, in my experience they absolutely destroy my baits. It might be due to the fact that I am fishing for them with toads and frogs. The past three or so that I have caught or missed have surged behind my toads making a wake so they really wanted the bait.

Thanks for the reply, DD. I would expect that sort of reaction but just haven't seen it... yet! Gonna try more frogs and stick with it. I usually work powerworms for LM bass. They're effective so tough for me to change over. Topwater has been slow for me the couple times I've been out.
BTW, I did hit Pohick last night. Caught 6 to 3lbs and missed a couple more. I did see a giant snakehead. Had to be 30". He saw me first, though and was moving deeper into the weeds.
