August 15th Report

Seeing the strike comming also elevates the angler's excitement and anticipation of the hit. It is not uncommon while buzzing a toad through vegetation to see movement of the fish comming out of hiding and following the frog causing a wake on the approach. It is one of the most awesome sights I have seen while fishing. They often follow a bit behind the frog, pushing that wake then hit with a violent splash, it is pretty difficult for an angler to delay setting the hook after all the excitement building up. But as Capt. Mike said, snakeheads are toothy fish that bite their prey (usually) to stun/kill it then turn and swallow it, unlike the bass we are familiar with that usually hit and engulph their prey. Snakehead fishing with a frog provides a good adrenalin rush. Having them explode from under a grass mat to hit a hollow frog or rat will almost make your heart stop.
