Snakehead at the Occoquan River

Type: Tidal
Region: Southern
Location: Occoquan River

I caught this snakehead at my marina in the Occoquan River. Decided to go check on my boat after work and picked up a rod and worked the dock for a few casts. The bass fishing was on fire! Betweeen my girlfriend and I, we caught 8 small bass when I set the hook into this guy��10.2 lbs! We killed it and gave it to a neighbor of the marina who intends to use it for crab bait later on in the season. What a fight! This fish was literally as big as my leg!
