⏰ Fishing from 6:00 AM – 2:00 PM
📍 Osborn Landing, 9530 Osborne Turnpike, Richmond, VA 23231
Meet up is at 5:30 AM sharp for boat assignments and a safety briefing! Each Veteran or Active Duty Service Member will be paired with a seasoned captain for an epic day of catfishing on the Mighty James River. After a full day on the water, we’ll gather at the pavilion for a well-deserved meal, camaraderie, and celebration. This event is 100% FREE for Veterans and Active Duty Service Members! 

But that’s not all—stick around after fishing for:

* Socializing with fellow heroes

* Exciting prize giveaways

* Fun activities and more!

 Whether you’re a returning guest or joining us for the first time, Hooked on Heroes 2025 promises memories, new friendships, and the healing power of time on the water.
Spots are limited—don’t miss your chance to be part of something special!
