You got that right... I love smallie fishing. We just don't get to do enough of it.

You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.

My first smallie trip on the james, I hooked a state citation smallie. The do put up a fight. He pulled my kayak up river against the current a bit before I got him in the yak. :D I got a great pic, a great fish, and the citation for the wall. ;) HE was released unharmed to make more fish.

I was just over the James River a couple of weeks ago. I stopped in at the Walk Bridge between Buena Vista and Big Island. I later learned that it is actually part of the Appalachian Trail. Saw a great view of the River up there.
