Nice fish! I was out there today too.Think I was right across the river from you at one point. Looks like it was a good day to catch flatheads.
well done, thanks for posting the pictures......Helps me cope with my homesickness! (Grew up in Prince George, lived in Varina near the Deep Bottom ramp, fished the river for years....moved out of state due to work).
I'm from up near Harrisonburg so I have a decent drive to the James. Catfishing is not my first choice but I have friends and relations who have showed some impressive pics from the James. After doing a little research it went high on my bucket list of things to do. I have only been on the James 3 times. I thoroughly enjoyed each trip! This is truly a world class fishery! Catfishing is now higher in the ranks of my choice of species to catch!!!! Thinking I'm gonna try to get in on the shad action this spring......hopefully. Never done than either.
Nice flatheads. I've never hooked up on one down there.
