14lb JUMBO SNAKEHEAD Caught Sight Fishing! First Dragon of 2024!!

First Snakehead of 2024 was a TANK! Snakehead are one of our absolute FAVORITE fish to target. We love everything about them. This was the first attempt at fishing for them in 2024. We nailed them! Ryan caught the first one by sight fishing. The Dragon Slayer lived up to his nickname. After that the bite was on fire!! It was a great way to start off the season!

[@user-mg6il8uk3t]

Nice snakehead day, huge Congrats to Captain Ryan on his "maiden voyage "!!!

[@FishingtheThinBlueLine]

Excellent start to the 2024 Snakehead Season! Great video, Kurt! Glad your wrist is healing! Keep the Lines Tight!!

[@user-lc9fn1jz4i]

That's a beast congrats

[@underdogoutdoors]

Glad to see big snakehead are still around! What a great fish to catch!

[@pastmasters9591]

Man that looks like a blast!

[@thomasariss9601]

Beautiful fish

[@thelowlife3511]

That is awesome. Spot fishing is the sh... Congrats bro. Keep them coming.

[@susanmarkleyschmitt1314]

Glad your snake fishing again Kurt. I’ve missed it very much. Love all your fishing ones and love the crab ones also. So glad your wrist is getting better.

[@omarrobinson1244]

Great catches. Congrats!

[@MentalHealthDay82]

OMAR!!! What's up brother?!?!?! Hope you're doing great things

[@chuckjenkins4348]

I just love watching you guys catching snakeheads!!! They beat all those salt water fish all to HECK! Anyways that’s for the video of my favorite fish you guys catch!! We don’t have them in my area and I don’t care about the ones like them cause no one eats the ones like them around here!

[@ReeLinFishing7]

Cool man! Never caught a snakehead!!🐍🐍🐍

[@akjr927]

Badazz video guys. so true that once one starts, usually they all turn on. Great Video fellas

[@lizmbrad]

Let's get some groceries, guys!!! What a hell of a fish. Where's your dragon Kurt?

[@StevenMiller-cx4rr]

Excellent start to the 2024 season and break in the boat.
The guy in the front has an advantage.
I’ve run charters for 30 years but never fished for snakehead. I fish offshore so you don’t see many.
Hopefully now the wrist will hold up, there’s sooo many jokes coming to mind

[@Meditation409]

I've eaten them many times and they are awesome eats! Nice beautiful white meat and easy to clean! I love catching them! ❤

[@Meditation409]

I've blackened them, Cajun fried using 2 step seasoning, char grilled them! Deep fried beer battered! 😻🔥🔥

[@kennethnorris9264]

Can't wait for the snake head nuggets😅

[@christopherblevins1968]

Ah, it's good seeing the snakes in the boat again. How did your wrist hold out? Being out all day, it has to be sore.

[@MentalHealthDay82]

It didn't love it, but worth it

[@twofeathersnmi]

Kurt, you ain't holding your mouth right!

[@waynejackson9374]

I would love to fish for snakes but they just getting started here in Missouri there's not a lot of them

[@user-lo2ii8to3u]

Why is it that all the ones you miss are always the "BIG ONE"? 😉

[@RUSSELLHARDY-rx5wz]

What area are you fishing?
