Based in Hopewell, Virginia, Captain Christian guides on the legendary James, Rappahannock, Chickahominy, Mattaponi, and Pamunkey rivers—waters famous for producing giant blue cats. He’s been chasing trophy cats for over 15 years and has earned more than 10 first-place tournament finishes, including back-to-back wins at the Ice Bowl and the prestigious King of the James. But what sets him apart isn’t just the trophies—it’s the experience he delivers every time he hits the water.

His fully rigged Hooker Boatworks Rebel 2214 provides a smooth, stable ride with room for up to 6 adult anglers. Outfitted with premium Catch the Fever Hellcat rods and top-tier Penn reels, Christian’s gear is tournament-grade and ready for battle.
