fishing user avatarCaptain Shane Procell reply : 

All you South Florida Snakehead hunters. The Animal Planet folks are coming down april 12 (next thursday) to film a show on the snakeheads. If you are able to take some time off to fish and participate in the show please let me know. This is an informal and non sponsored get together. They want to see some of you weigh in some fish. I know most wil be working and some of you are students, but if your interested just let me know.

They make delicious subs :eyebrows:


fishing user avatarCaptain Shane Procell reply : 

Fellas,

There will be raffle tickets given out to each angler. Some of the prizes are high end reels(I'am picking these up and was thinking about Shimano?), Guy Harvey prints, hat, shirts, baits, and alot more. Everyone should get some swag. JD'sCustomBaits will be frying up some snakehead for us to eat at weighin. I was looking over the legal releases and it seems that we probably will not be able to video any of the event. The host of the show is the wrestler known as Eric Young. He looks like he'll be alot of fun.


fishing user avatarGLADES reply : 

What about pictures during the event?


fishing user avatarbasschaser reply : 

I will be there may have a empty seat, if any body is looking.


fishing user avatarSouth FLA reply :

fishing user avatarWHYoWHY reply : 

Hey Shane, can we sign the release form the morning of the event, or is that something we have to do beforehand?.

There will be forms available at the morning meeting.

I will be pretty busy for the next couple of days, but this will go off rain or shine. There will be a snakehead fish fry at weighin, compliments of JD'sCustomBaits.


fishing user avatarBassHunter954 reply : 

shane an the fee is each person or just for one boat? and if theres more than one person on the boat does both have to sign release and if so same release or seperate forms for each person.


fishing user avatarCaptain Shane Procell reply : 

Everyone must sign an individual release. The 20 is per person....


fishing user avatarBassHunter954 reply : 

ok ty


fishing user avatarGotfishyfingers? reply : 

Is 530 when registration begins or take off? Is this just boats only or will there be people fishing from land?


fishing user avatarCaptain Shane Procell reply : 

Be there at 5:30 to turn in forms and have angler meeting to go over rules and stuff. We will release everyone as soon as meeting is over. Both boaters and shore walkers.


fishing user avatarDiggy reply : 

I have no boat so I assume we will be fishing off of the c 14 itself (shorewalkers)

Wish I could have been there, Shane. Unfortunately I had to spend the morning in my shop prepping a bunch of stuff for a client.

I saw some of the stuff you guys got sent for the raffles and prizes. Very cool stuff. Glad to see some more companies starting to support the roundups. Well done, guys.


fishing user avatarDiggy reply :

Lol ^ how was it what was the biggest catch an weight?


fishing user avatarBassHunter954 reply :

fishing user avatarGotfishyfingers? reply : 

i believe heaviest fish was around 11.5 lbs and measured 37 inches and most was like 47.


fishing user avatarCaptain Shane Procell reply : 

Fellas it was a great time today with Eric Young from Animal Planet's "Fishing America". We had alot of representation from the South East Section of Bass Resource.

Total of 172 snakeheads and 106 bass caught today. Winner of big fish was Austin Pavelic with a 37 incher, congrats man! Winner of most fish was Steve Papp with a grand total of 46 snakeheads.

Special Thanks to Robert Perez (South FLA) and his buddy Justin for giving their time and bass boats for the filming crew. That's one bad azz Bullet!

fishing user avatarBassHunter954 reply : 

Diggy I.told you to call me. If you want to go to the tourny/get together let me know if you wanna go on a boat my boat is ready my truck has new coilpack and ready to go to but good pics. Btw


fishing user avatarDiggy reply : 

No problem, Ill hit you up


fishing user avatarSam reply : 

Has anyone cooked and eaten a Snakehead?

I know they are cherised in the Orient and was wondering if you can tell me how they taste.

Like chicken?????


fishing user avatarDiggy reply : 

I ate a few pieces that were batter dipped yesterday in some mixture. It was good, clean white meat without a strong flavor .....but....knowing where some of these are caught would keep me from eating this. The mental assassination of a crappy canal with a shopping cart and industrial spill off running into it and food don't work for me. Maybe if you catch your own out of a clean lake or something but Im not frying up any muck fish unless theres a financial reason or life and death. Id still probably go to the pier before that happened


fishing user avatarSoFlaBassAddict reply : 

Pretty darn good, Sam. Fry em up! Like Diggy mentioned though; I don't think I'd eat them on a regular basis knowing what's in some of the canals down here.


fishing user avatarDiggy reply : 

Im practicing catch and release with these now. Im not a killer of fish unless its for the tourney where I know someone will eat them later. Ill just let them back into the water with one eye

DITTO! :eyebrows: i don't even eat fish, but I figured I try a piece just to say I did.

austin pavelic the kid that caught the big snakehead he used a bow yesterday for the roundup or pole ?

He was skeet reesing it with his buddy, both had black n yellow poles with live targets on the line. I introduced them to the booyahs which I think theyll try out.

I got to use one of those JD frogs and ended up missing a big fish because I decided to use a swimbait hook. The weight stopped the tip of the hook from passing the recessed area on the JD frog. I would have probably hooked that fish with my normal frogs with the same hook or using the regular hook with the JD frog. Its my fault because the jd frogs are much heavier and I was using that hook to add casting distance that I didnt need.


fishing user avatarBassHunter954 reply : 

^oh ok cause that kid is master minded with his bow. But yea booyahs guys half the price an same quality .


fishing user avatarDiggy reply : 

You arent lying, his vid on youtube is how I recognized who he was...both he and his friend were cool...

Does he ever wear shoes lol?


fishing user avatarBassHunter954 reply : 

I honestly dont know but im sure he always footing it. More.comfortable. Lol my bro an nephew met the kid they said he was really cool as well.


fishing user avatarfishingator reply : 

Wow I wish I had shown up just to see what everyone brought in!
