Hi Sudir,

Its a Black beauty.Congrates mate.

Great snake head mate.


How much did da fish weigh in?

Hi Sudhir,

Could please let mwe know what the tackle was , and what lure was used.

Guys you all can give me your inputs on the below mentioned:

I intend to use a shimano fx 9ft rod medium heavy , fast action .

.30mm line and size 5 spinners in brass and silver colour , for some murrel fishing .

please give me ur feed back on the same . it would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Hey...
Good to hear that you caught that Beauty on a Frog....In Cauvary

Surprisingly had tried many times & have never caught any On a frog.... probably Wrong Place & time,

For me only spinners worked...

Would appreciate if you tell us which frog you used & even better if you post a pic of it

Beauty of a fish, Sudhir
Ravi

Thanks for the encouragement.

Fish weighed in at 5.2 Kg.

Tackle used
- Lake trolling rod Cabelas - 5' (yes, I am sure there are lots of raised eyebrows - but I like the stiff action and the sure hooksets I get with this)
- Line - Berkeley Trilene - 8 pound test mono
- Reel - Shimano Alvio 4000
- Lure - River2Sea Bully Wa Frog

As for using frogs - I like the challenge they present and the spectacular strikes. I personally feel my hookset % has gone from probably 90% with the spinners to about 60% with the frogs but the experience is worth it - especially when you get a strike from under the scum near your feet

[quote=- especially when you get a strike from under the scum near your feet [/quote]

Yeah! surface lures get the best strikes. I have had a murrel follow the lure, the wake that the fish made gave it away. It then killed the frog right at the bank, under my feet. VERY Exciting!

Yes, not really an issue - it get turned inside out - but if you just push things back as they are supposed to be - its as good as new - I have used the same frog over and over - after about 6 or 7 hits by fish above 1.5 to 2 kg the frog tends to fill up with water much faster and requires the water squeezed out of it every 3-4 casts

wow what a awsome catch!
Long live the snakeheads! Did that snakie hook on a frog popper :) ?

What do you guys think about angling for snakeheads on the monsoon season?

Well I know that they reproduce themself in the season of monsoon..
Some people told me that they're more difficult to catch them..But is it really true?

I'm planning a new trip around the monsoon months and I really want to know what kind of gear would work out best for snakehead angling around these months.

Hey Sudhir,

Nice fish!! Howe are things with you?
