      Very cool! Some day I would love to travel outside the U.S to do more fishing. Plenty of unique species out there hiding in unique habitats like you have over there in Cambodia!

    Love this spot. Heavily pressured spot but there is also some big bass in that lake.

    Recommend that you trim the frog's legs, so that they'll strike closer to the body of the lure for better hook up ratio.

    • @TheVilleOutdoors

      Thanks for the advice. I do that with most of my frogs but have a solid hook up ratio using the frog in the video the way it is. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it hahah

    I used to fish that first spot, the cops kick you out now. Caught tons of snakehead and bowfin there. You can use shrimp for bowfin, last couple times I was there caught snakeheads and bowfin on swimjigs. I miss that spot.😢

      That’s sad to hear. I caught my lifer Snakehead on my first cast there and had thought about returning next spring to try for more, but I’d rather not deal with any Law Enforcement when I don’t need too. I’ve never heard of Shrimp being used for Bowfin! That’s pretty cool

    To me it’s extremely weird fishing in a location that has both Snakeheads and Bowfins that coexist together 😳. No wonder there has been so much misinformation and disinformation going around about Bowfin, that is native!!

    • @TheVilleOutdoors
      @TheVilleOutdoors  4 месяца назад +1

      Snakeheads have invaded so many water ways here in the eastern U.S that it’s becoming increasingly more common to find Snakeheads in places that are home to native Bowfin. It’s important for anglers to know the difference to avoid causing any harm to native populations of Bowfin.

    Dont listen to the ppl saying you are spot burning. Only ppl who have been there or are familiar with the spots you showed will pick up ok where you are. (Like me lol both are good spots and thats definitely a nice spot for bowfin watch out for the turtles i saw them everywhere last time i went there lol) but anyways keep up the video and you arent spot burning unless your saying exactly where you are. Keep catching fish

      Due to spot burning, I will not give the precise location of this spot. What I will say is that both Norrhern Snakehead and Eyetail Bowfin exist in marshes that stem from the Delaware River. A little work on Google maps and you should be able to find plenty of public access points that will give you a good shot at both species

Most of my friends are freshwater fishermen in the Manalapan/ freehold area we’ll hit the res and big ponds or lakes around there like Assumpink . Not sure were any bowfins and snakeheads are near us but they are fun to catch. I caught a 11.5 had pounder in a canal in Florida . Had my Berkeley digital scale with me. Tight lines be safe.

      Do me a favor and Google “How many Bowfin species are there?” One of the first results is Britannica.com which clearly states there are at least 2 separate species of Bowfin and up to 4 species are possible, but genetic work hasn’t been fully completed to confirm any more than two species for now. Currently there is Eyetail Bowfin (Amia ocellicauda) and Ruddy Bowfin (Amia Calva)

      I appreciate your concern and I understand the issue of spot burning and keeping the environment clean, but as I mentioned in a previous comment, I do not mention the name of the road or the nearest town in the video. The small handful of fishermen that see this video and are familiar enough with the area to pick out the exact location which is only featured in the first 5 minutes of the video probably already know the spot. Once again I appreciate the concern as I understand the issue but my channel is not near big enough to actually make an impact like that.

I figured it would be better to say the fish was disposed of, rather than released. But this fish was indeed released
