Roaches run fishing - Finally my first snakehead catch!!! - 1 of my 2016 resolutions accomplished.
Frankenstein fish is finally caught at Roaches Run by DC Reagan National airport. Lily pads is where they are hiding.
READ My 4 tips of catching the Frankenstein fish:
1. Stick with the lily pads shallow water for them.
2. Don't set the hook when you see something come to the surface for your lure, wait 2 seconds after they dive then set the hook.
3. Be patient and fish hard. you will be rewarded with the snakehead fish.
4. sight fishing for them-move and cast to where you see them jump.



They fight like a charging bull, and pull very very hard. Yes, it is fishermen's dream catch. Nothing even comes close to snakeheads. They come into Roaches run to spawn from Potomac river. I saw
some big mama snakeheads jumping out of the water. I think I caught the male small snakehead who was trying to fend off intruders so he can mate with the big mama snakehead. Law requires fishermen to kill them when we catch them, so sorry no mating for the snakehead I caught today. Big mama will stay laid eggs. I am sure there are still many other male snakeheads in the river.
