James River Catfishing
Hopewell,
VA:
Well many are hooked on
the James River the first time
they are on the river. Not only
does the James claim the current
state blue catfish record of
102.4 pounds,
the majestic river will hold
you in ah, the natural beauty, wildlife and history of the James
not to mention some of the most beautiful sunsets while fishing
on the James that you could see anywhere.
Catfishing on the James
River in Virginia can be a fishing
trip of a lifetime. Trophy blue
catfish are caught on a daily
basis. And according to Bob Greenlee, district fisheries biologist for VDGIF(Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries), the James River is
now a nationally recognized blue catfish fishery. Anglers from all over the country have heard
of the James River and its monster catfish and catching a trophy catfish
is not an unrealistic expectation by any means.
The current state record of 109 pounds was caught on
the Kerr Lake March 17,2011 by
Tony Miliam, a veteran catfisherman.
With the blue catfish population continuing to expand,
both in numbers and in size,
and along with
the spirit of catch-and-release displayed among the serious
catfishermen, only enhances the possibility of your catch of a lifetime.
