"I've caught a few small flatheads from the James in VA, but I'm still waiting on the 20 or 30, or 80-lber. Ain't nothin I love more than catching catfish. "

I used to live down that way, if you're fishing the lower James, you should try for blue cats, they can go up to a hundred pounds, BUT they only eat LIVE fish, don't bother with anything dead. And if you eat what you catch it is hard to beat a 5 pound blue cat. You might want to try the Chickahomony river, its clean, runs into the james,

Good luck
