Baby snakeheads are the best bait

I'll update with any fish. Usually it's a bigger snakehead, bass, mudfish, catfish or gar that hit these. You can recast them a dozen times and they will not die like a shiner. Theres no wild shiners here so they are shitty bait. I catch these with a pool net on a small boat. I see the mass of babies breathing air at once and it looks like rain in a small spot. I net them and use for bait, they really are the best since they breath air from the surface. They stay on top and dont need oxygenated water while in the bucket
