Catching a river monster in downtown Richmond va the James river

[@Lucas-su7um]

Hey man great fishing never thought you could never catch catch fish like that I’m jealous I pray you stay safe while fishing there

[@jjmillner7613]

There's big ones like that in lynchburg but I definitely need to come over and fish

[@adwhite804]

Looks like some fun right there sir... Pretty good hog right there as well.

[@adwhite804]

Tossing a big swing bait in the river... What up sir! I fish a bit up river on the James. Nothing that big though. Woooo! Nice

[@adwhite804]

And thank you sir! I usually scout my section I fish most...cuz it close. And I try to clean up line I find, lures, sunken &/or floating plastics, among other not fishing related garbage. I try to take extra bags everytime I'm out to clean up what I find best I can. I agree, it's kinda bad sometimes.

[@MasonMButler]

How do you access this spot? Im afraid i'll end up floating face-down downstream trying to find it.

[@katchfishwithq4777]

Is that the Daiwa BG 4000??? If not then what rod and set up are you using??

[@rvafishing8950]

Yes bg 5k with a tfo xh meg

[@rickyward274]

Lets go broooo. People sleep on the James River.

[@rvafishing8950]

Yeah ik some monsters in it

[@oljimeagle]

The damn catfish are eating that river alive. Small mouth fishing has gotten pathetic between Hugenot Flatwater and that 14th st bridge. Anybody else notice the decline in the past 15 years?

[@damianestevez2301]

Bro I’m from Miami… I have been traveling for a year now with wife and kids Avid angler and have plotted everywhere. Now I’m in RVA and dying to fish. I’m on James River now as we speak. Water levels are real low and I don’t find fast moving water. Would love to connect.

[@damianestevez2301]

I had a feeling there were monsters here. All the locals I asked said you can catch Shad and trout. I followed the river on the map and I knew there had to be monsters in here.

[@rvafishing8950]

Message me on IG I can send you some good spots on the James so you can maximize your chances while still here

Man,those are some monsters bro..i be loving these flathead on big swimbait vids. What size swimbaits you be using?

[@rvafishing8950]

I normally use the 6” depending on water and how fast it’s running I go all the way up to 10”

[@adwhite804]

Been within 40° water temp for a few weeks. Even when we got that warm up . But river was too high where I'm at and RIPPING. Wasn't trying to wade. Even in insulated waders...too much current

[@franciscoherrera9268]

Porque no te los llevas? No se comen esas clase de pescado?

[@rvafishing8950]

Mui grande

[@adwhite804]

I'm not usually finishing for cats though

[@blessed7fold583]

Why do these fish appear already dead, not fighting to get back into the water??

[@TrippyFisherman]

That’s what the big blue cats do they usually give up quick and it’s practically like your fighting a log and when they get to the surface they start doing the death roll my biggest was in Charles city Va but I literally pulled it up in 5 minutes

[@rvafishing8950]

Once you get them out the water they normally just chill until you put them back the big ones anyway

[@BrendenPage-q1t]

Bro you need to start releasing the fish faster like ik the first fish didn’t live yo ass took a hour to release it ☠️☠️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

[@rvafishing8950]

Thanks for the concerns on the fish trust me buddy he swam away just fine these fish are not your typical fish ..

[@pauloster2871]

Thats about a 22 pounder. There are much bigger fish in that water. Go catch is grandpa.

[@rvafishing8950]

Haha if you say so buddy

[@chriscarroll3635]

22 pounder? You're clueless. Closer to 35...
