Giant Snakehead fishing
About Giant Snakehead
An aggressive freshwater ambush predator of Southeast Asian lakes and rivers, fiercely territorial when guarding its fry. Casting frogs, fast lures and topwater over weed and timber draws savage surface strikes, especially over a guarding shoal of young. It fights hard and dives for cover, so braid and a strong rod help.
Typical size: Typically 60 to 90 cm and 2 to 6 kg; trophy fish exceed 1 m and 15 kg. Record (approx.): approx. 20 kg (varies by region).
