Hi guys. I started fishing late this summer to learn something new and fun. Now I'm addicted to it! I've mostly fished in lakes and ponds in Richmond, but have also fished from banks and piers on the James River and Chickahominy River. My best catches so far are a 5lb bass in a lake in Richmond and a 4lb blue catfish on the Chickahominy River.

A 5 Lb. bass your first year of fishing is an exceptional start! Welcome to your new found passion.

Welcome to the stage 54, have fun learning. It’s always a good thing to be outdoors fishing. Send some pics when you can.

Welcome 54. I'll take a 5 lb bass any day. I may have to head north to Richmond and have you teach me. I just started back fishing after about a 40 year layoff.
Enjoy the site. Next time you hook that 5 pounder, take a pic and show us.
