420 | Susquehanna River Update & Kayak Fishing Controversy w/ Jake Harshman11 Nov 202501:11:13

On this exciting episode of Fishing the DMV, I’m joined once again by Pennsylvania kayak hammer Jake Harshman for a raw and unfiltered conversation about everything happening on the Susquehanna River and across the kayak fishing scene.

We dive deep into how the Susquehanna is fishing this fall — breaking down current water levels, seasonal patterns, and what anglers should expect heading into winter. Jake shares his insights on bait selection, key stretches of the river, and what separates consistent tournament success from frustration on one of the most dynamic smallmouth fisheries in the country.

But that’s not all — we also tackle the recent controversies and chaos shaking up the kayak bass fishing world. From cheating scandals to integrity issues in online events, we give our honest takes on what’s happening behind the scenes and where the sport needs to go from here.

Whether you’re a hardcore kayak angler, a fan of Susquehanna smallmouth fishing, or just someone who loves the real stories behind competitive bass fishing, this is one episode you won’t want to miss.

419 | Kayak Fishing’s Biggest CHEATER | The Jacob Housman Story10 Nov 202500:45:02

On this shocking episode of Fishing the DMV, we uncover one of the biggest cheating scandals in kayak fishing history the Jacob Housman story. I’m joined by Jake Harshman as we break down the full chain of events that rocked the NYKBF community and the larger kayak fishing world.

In the June 2025 NYKBF month-long online event, Housman submitted a suspicious photo of a large smallmouth bass caught from what appeared to be a cheap green kayak. Despite initial doubts, Tournament Director Nick Tammaro approved the fish at the time.

A month later, red flags exploded across social media when Housman posted a nearly identical fish from the St. Lawrence River on his Instagram, except this time, it was clearly photographed on the deck of his aluminum Bass Tracker boat.

Soon, forensic photo analysis and surveillance footage revealed a shocking discovery: Housman had rigged cut-out kayak pieces onto the back deck of his boat to fake kayak submissions. On November 9, 2025, Housman confessed to the deception, returning his $200 in winnings to NYKBF.

However, this confession may only scratch the surface. Over the last two years, there’s no way of truly knowing how much money Housman may have stolen from other competitors through this elaborate scheme — casting a dark shadow over countless events and anglers who played by the rules.

As a result, NYKBF, NY Slay Nation, PA Kayak Bass Nation, PA Slay Nation, and TourneyX have all issued a lifetime ban, permanently barring Housman from all kayak and online-format fishing tournaments.

337 | Smith Mountain Lake Secrets Revealed! | Biologist Reveals Big Bass Data!07 Apr 202500:55:15

On this exciting episode of Fishing the DMV, we're diving deep into one of Virginia’s hottest bass fishing destinations — Smith Mountain Lake. Joining me is Dan Wilson, Fisheries Biologist with the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources, to break down why this lake is quickly becoming a powerhouse in the bass fishing world.

In early 2025 alone, multiple double-digit bass have been landed, including rumors of an 11-pound giant. With all this buzz, it's no surprise that Major League Fishing has set its sights on the lake for an upcoming Heavy Hitters event later this year.

Dan gives us an exclusive look at:

  • The 2024 fishery data and what it tells us about the lake's health
  • The ongoing F1 Largemouth Bass stocking program
  • How the lake has evolved into a true big-bass destination

📍 Tune in and get the biologist's perspective on what’s driving the bass boom at Smith Mountain Lake!

411 | Fishing North Carolina’s Hidden Gems: Hyco, Mayo & Waccamaw Lakes21 Oct 202501:07:18

On this episode of Fishing the DMV, I sit down with Dave Hart to dive deep into the current state of some of North Carolina’s most talked-about fisheries — from Hyco Lake’s summer flooding and warm-water conditions, to the rise of Alabama bass in Lake Mackintosh, and the uncertain future surrounding Shearon Harris.

We also touch on the “team tournament” scene, my infamous 114-inch bag, and even the big industry shake-ups — like the potential White River/Bass Pro acquisition of Hobie.

Dave and I swap stories and observations about these legendary Carolina waters:

·       Hyco Lake — a 3,700-acre power-plant reservoir known for year-round bass and crappie fishing but hit hard by flooding and oxygen challenges this summer.

·       Mayo Lake — a 2,800-acre gem offering both tournament-level bass fishing and scenic camping getaways.

·       Lake Waccamaw — a shallow Carolina Bay full of cypress trees, lily pads, and a unique mix of perch, panfish, and bass that make it one of the most distinctive fisheries in the state.

From fisheries management to flood recovery and the culture of competitive angling in the Carolinas, this episode captures the pulse of the region’s evolving fishing scene.

318 | Crafting the Perfect Rod with Doug Roberts Jr.12 Feb 202500:24:08

On this episode of Fishing the DMV, we sit down with Doug Roberts Jr., owner of FishNFX Rods, to dive into his lifelong passion for fishing and craftsmanship. Doug shares how his love for the sport began with his grandfather, preparing tackle the night before every trip—making sure rods were clean, lines were strong, and hooks were razor-sharp. The process of getting everything just right became just as thrilling as the fishing itself. At age 10, he discovered the joy of tying flies, further fueling his obsession with precision. But as he grew older, simply choosing spots and crafting tackle wasn’t enough. That passion evolved into building custom rods, pushing the boundaries of performance and design. Join us as Doug takes us through his journey of dedication, innovation, and the relentless pursuit of the perfect fishing experience.

Description: In this episode of Fishing the DMV, we tackle "Florida’s Bass Fishing Crisis!!! The Decline of St. Johns River Bass Fishery."

As a seasoned fisheries scientist and passionate conservationist, Joe sheds light on the factors contributing to this crisis and the proactive measures his organization is implementing to restore these vital habitats.

We delve into the critical role of submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) in maintaining healthy fisheries and how its deterioration impacts not only Florida's waters but also those in Virginia and Maryland.

This conversation is a must-listen for anyone passionate about bass fishing, conservation, and the future of our aquatic ecosystems.
