Great panfishing with a big surprise

How small is your rod and how light is your line? It's not about the size of your tackle, but how you work it. Come share your Ultralight and Bait Finesse System (BFS) fishing success here!

Great panfishing with a big surprise

Post by The Greek » Tue May 26, 2020 7:06 am

Had a six species day with my youngest Saturday. By far our best day of the spring with over 100 fish in about 4 hrs with about an hrs worth of fish every cast. My son started the day with his personal best snakehead and our first not actually targeting them. This is his second large fish on the Ajing rod and it landed it no problem. He uses a Major Craft 701 with a Stradic 1000 and 4 lb line.

Great job, nice fish and pics! I'd love to catch a snakehead myself but I haven't seen them in these parts (yet). I'm a big fan of MC rods and have a few of them now.

All fun catches but I can only imagine the excitement of landing that snakehead with the ajing rod! Excellent work.

What state are you in? I'm in NJ and to my knowledge snakehead are only in the southern part of the state.

I’m in South Eastern PA but do the majority of my fishing in S Jersey. They are very prevalent in a lot of the places we fish. This was the first one we’ve ever caught in open water and not directly on some type of cover. They are strong fish and a blast to catch.
