363 | Record-Breaking Upper Potomac River Smallmouth Bag with Shane Crawford

On this jaw-dropping episode of Fishing the DMV, I’m joined by local hammer Shane Crawford, who just made history on the Upper Potomac River! Shane smashed records by winning both the Mid-Atlantic Kayak Bass Fishing Series and the USA BASSIN - Jackson Kayak Trails Maryland Division event with a mind-blowing bag of 100+ inches of smallmouth bass!To put that in perspective — that’s an average of 21 inches per fish in his five-fish limit! And get this — he lost two fish that would’ve pushed him over 105 inches. This kind of bag rivals even the legendary Susquehanna River and would’ve easily broken the 25-pound mark if not for the post-spawn conditions.In this episode, Shane breaks down exactly how he did it — the patterns, the gear, the strategy — and gives a masterclass in river smallmouth fishing on the Upper Potomac during the June–July transition. If you love smallmouth fishing or want to up your kayak game, this is a must-watch.Please support Fishing the DMV on Patreon!!! https://patreon.com/FishingtheDMVPodcast Fishing the DMV now has a website: https://www.fishingthedmv.com/ If you are interested in being on the show or a sponsorship opportunity, please reach out to me at [email protected] Please checkout our Patreon SponsorsCatoctin Creek Custom Rods: https://www.facebook.com/CatoctinCreekCustomRodsJake’s bait & Tackle website:                     http://www.jakesbaitandtackle.com/Tiger Crankbaits on Facebook!! https://www.facebook.com/tigercrankbaits Jake’s bait & Tackle website:                     http://www.jakesbaitandtackle.com/Fishing the DMV Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/Arensbassin/?ref=pages_you_manageFishing the DMV Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/fishingthedmv/?utm_medium=copy_link #bassfishing #fishingtheDMV #fishingtipsSupport the show
