Just moved the family back home to Louisiana about a year ago. Before that I lived in Maryland for the last 20 years or so, Have been chasing the big blues on the Potomac for about 10 years. My best on the Potomac went 56. The pic in my avatar is a small one of about 25lbs.

Went down to the James a few times for Tournaments, used to put in at Hopewell. Best i caught down there were some around 40 lbs..

If you could cast net up some fresh shad to bait up with it was on!!!! Had loads of fun catching those big fat pigs on the potomac. There were plenty of times that you were hard pressed to keep more than 1 rod out in the water because the action was so fast!.

as a matter of fact, now that i think of it... two of the times i went down to the James river was to participate in WWP fishing events to let the wounded vets have a go at the big blue cats.
