Blue Cats from the James and Potomac
I am hoping to try for some blues on the tidal Potomac this Monday...Hope to tangle with some of the big cats, like these from previous trips...

Trophy blue catfishing is alive and well despite the management issues and concerns of overpopulation and lack of harvest by both recreational anglers and commercial fisheries on both the James and the Potomac. Check out my overview of these world-class fisheries in the 2013 In Fisherman Catfish Guide, due out in June, '13.
