On this exciting episode of Fishing the DMV, we break down how Rick McFaul of Phoenix, Maryland battled brutal conditions to claim victory at the Phoenix Bass Fishing League (BFL) Presented by T-H Marine on the Potomac River, hosted by Charles County Recreation, Parks, and Tourism.

With flooding rains, high winds, and debris-choked water threatening to derail his tournament strategy, McFaul was forced to scrap both his Plan A and B. But his Plan C—a small patch of cleaner water on the Virginia side—turned into a game-winning decision. Locking down on a 50-yard grass stretch with his Power-Poles, McFaul ground out a solid bag before making one final, crucial stop in Mattawoman Creek, where he landed two kicker fish over 4 pounds to seal the deal.

We break down Rick’s strategy, how he adapted to changing conditions, and what anglers can learn from this gritty performance on the Potomac. Don’t miss this insider look at how a local hammer turned adversity into a $4,584 payday with an 18-pound, 11-ounce five-fish limit.
