Today started the hunt of the mighty Florida Snakehead for the next two days. Richard from Orlando, Florida has traveled around the world fishing for Snakehead and has the stories to prove it. When he heard that they were in South Florida…well let’s say he was one of the few that got excited about the news. But for me it’s been a while since I have had someone so excited to fish, and for Snakeheads of all things.
SO…he headed right down just to fish for the bullseye snakeheads in South Florida, because of the heat index we only fished short days. Richard has been to Asia among other places, but never fished all day with topwater for the Snakehead, so this was a treat.
The time on the water was productive, we managed to get several fish with a few nicer ones like the one above weighed over seven (7) pounds. All of our fish where caught on topwater, so it was pretty cool to see the massive explosions not counting the fact that they fight really well.
All the fish that were caught, were destroy as by State Law reguirments. So if you decide to make your way down to South Florida and want to get in some crazy topwater Snakehead fishing action, know that it is State law that we cannot release this species.
Had a great time with Richard and looking forward to seeing him again.

CLEWISTON, FL (June 1, 2010) – Iraqi veterans Joshua Rockwell of Scranton, PA and David Calhoun of Wyalusing, PA caught more than 50 bass on their two-day fishing trip to Lake Okeechobee with Bass Master Pro Angler Mark Shepard.
Their trip was sponsored by SMI Cold Therapy of Butler, PA, a manufacturer of cold therapy products and services for post-operative patient care in hospitals and surgery centers, and by Bassonline.com, Florida’s largest freshwater guide service and outfitter for bass fishing on Florida lakes, canals and rivers. Calhoun and Rockwell are the first of eight wounded vets to make the journey to Florida to experience some of the world’s best bass fishing.
Bass Master and FLW Pro Angler Mark Shepard, a Bassonline.com guide, has more than 25 years experience fishing in Florida and 10 years of guiding on Lake Okeechobee.
The mission of the Wounded Warrior Project is to honor and empower wounded warriors. Its purpose is to raise awareness and to enlist the public’s aid for the needs of severely injured service members.
Three more fishing trips on Lake Okeechobee are planned. The next trip is June 7-8 with WWP vets Gary Harris of Ft. White, FL and Jake Williams of Vista, CA.
Rockwell, a medically retired machine gunner, joined the U.S. Marine Corps in 2006 and was injured in October 2007. While on patrol with a Humvee team, his left foot was crushed in the line of duty.
Calhoun, 45, a medically retired battalion armor and training manager, joined the Army in 1985, saw five deployments and was injured in July 2003. His Humvee was on the outskirts of Baghdad, when an IED hit and flipped his vehicle. The explosion destroyed Calhoun’s kneecaps and trapped the driver, Lt. Jonathan Pruden. Despite his injuries, Calhoun carried Pruden to safety before the vehicle was engulfed in flames.
The Florida Division of Freshwater Fisheries Management will award a 5-year freshwater fishing license along with a promotional package of tackle samples, fishing publications and discount coupons to each of the WWP veterans as part of its recent promotion of Florida, the Fishing Capital of the World.
