Catching My First DELAWARE SNAKEHEAD of the Year!

Snakehead fishing in Delaware has been a little bit tougher than normal to start the 2023 season. I've tried a few times with no luck at a few of my Delaware snakehead fishing spots, but today, I was finally able to land my first Delaware snakehead of the year! I changed up the style of this video, so please let me know if you liked it down in the comments. Stay tuned for lots more Delaware snakehead fishing on the channel!

IMPORTANT NOTE: While Snakeheads are a non-native species, biologists have discovered over the last few years that the damage they cause to the ecosystem is not nearly what was once expected. Many bodies of water containing these fish have successfully adapted to their presence. I encourage you to thoroughly research the data that is out their regarding snakeheads before you make an uninformed comment saying that we should have killed the fish. That being said, everyone is entitled to their opinion regarding these fish. We simply ask that your opinion be formed on actual data and research, not what you heard from a friend or read on facebook.

The body of water that we fished already has a healthy population of snakeheads. Killing a few fish would do absolutely nothing in regards to eradicating the species from that body of water. Instead, you'd be wasting the life of a perfectly good gamefish. Here at Orange 22 Fishing, we encourage you to practice catch and release on all species of fish, including snakeheads. We will continue to do so, and we hope you will do the same as well.

No matter your opinion on this topic, we do thank you for watching our video and supporting our channel!

Tight lines,
Dave and Matt
