On 9/2/2016, I caught my first Northern snakehead, it bit a weed-less rigged Bass Assassin on 20# braid with a 20# monofilament leader. This was my second attempt to catch a snakehead this summer. I put a lot of miles on my truck today, but without being too specific, so as not to "spot burn", the fish came out of the Blackwater on the Eastern Shore. As I write this, the fish is asleep on a bed of ice in my cooler. Tomorrow it will be my lunch. Special thanks to those who pointed me in the right direction. I now have 115 species.
