It's been a big year for snakehead, cobia, and wahoo fishing, the Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR) notes. Well, for snakehead, it was a big June 1st. James Berry and the first snakehead to break the state record on June 1, 2014. Because it was just after midnight on June 1 when James Berry of Chesapeake Beach caught a record snakehead in Pomonkey Creek using a bow and arrow. His record was certified later in the afternoon when the fish weighed in at 16.78 pounds at the Smallwood State Park. But only a few hours later, Theodore McKenzie of Upper Marlboro showed up to the Potomac Snakehead weigh station with a 16.94-pound fish. Both men are entered to win prizes in the invasive species category of the 2014 Maryland Fishing Challenge. Later in the month, on June 28, Jon Henry of Sunrise Florida was out with friends free-dive spearfishing over the African Queen wreck just outside Ocean City. From the DNR's website: "Henry cast a bucktail lure with a plastic eel trailer and hooked one. After an hour-long fight he had the fish in the boat and quickly cast back to another, hooking it." Both fish were measured in at Sunset Marina and appeared to be essentially identical at 54.5 inches and 75 pounds. The previous record was set by Chris Toner in 2009. Finally, on June 30, Californian John Schaar caught a 82-inch, 131-pound wahoo while trolling over the Rockpile outside Ocean City. Again, the fish was weighed in at Sunset Marina and broke the previous record of 111 pounds caught in 2003.
