On this exciting episode of Fishing the DMV, I’m joined by the one and only Kyle Warholic—a local Frederick angler, lifelong bass fisherman, and one of the most dedicated snakehead hunters on the East Coast.

Kyle grew up fishing the Potomac River and surrounding Maryland reservoirs, but in recent years he’s turned his focus to the explosive and rapidly growing world of snakehead fishing. He now targets these hard-fighting predators across the region, including lakes like Little Seneca Reservoir and Lake Anna, proving that you don’t need tidal marshes or river grass flats to put big snakeheads in the boat.

In this episode, we dive deep into:

• Kyle’s journey from bass fishing the Potomac to becoming a standout snakehead angler
• His insights on catching snakeheads in non-tidal, reservoir-style lakes
• A full breakdown of tactics, lures, and seasonal patterns he uses to stay dialed in
• His 2025 Angler of the Year win in the East Coast Snakehead Fishing Trail—the same trail judged by Andrew Blair
• Why snakehead fishing continues to explode across Maryland and Virginia
• Bonus talk about the unique fishery at Little Seneca Reservoir and what makes it so productive

Whether you’re a dedicated snakehead fisherman or a bass angler curious about the hype, this episode brings you insider knowledge from one of the most consistent and passionate anglers in the region.

Tune in and get ready to take your snakehead game to the next level!
