Title: James River Catfishing
Post by: mo65 on October 26, 2020, 08:45:25 PM
   Just got back from feeshin' the James...what a hoot! Rob got big fish with his 65 pound slob. Our charter cap fishes all Penn reels...320GTI and Squall. I hauled along the red XN Jiggy and my hot rod Surfy 100. I'll make a video later...gotta rest my arms. 8)

Those are blue cats, right? I think I read somewhere that they are an invasive species in the James River and a fish they really should kept. Is this correct?
