If catching a trophy size blue catfish is something you want to do, here are some tips that may help you land a monster. Chasing one of the largest fresh water fish on the James can be very challenging at times, but that's what keeps me coming back.
Also remembering the Virginia State record of 102 lbs - 4 oz in May of 2009 and the former state record of 96 lbs coming out of the lower James , and both still swimming the tidal waters of the James River along with numerous monster catches .
Blue catfish exceeding 30 pounds can be impressive opponents at times, especially around structure. Most consider any catfish over 40 pounds World Class Trophy catch. If you are going to try to catch these trophy size blue catfish , you will need to fish a little differently than you do for smaller cats.
