On this exciting episode of Fishing the DMV, we dive into the legendary story of Green Top Sporting Goods with Todd Sadler and Hunter Brooks! Green Top is one of the most iconic outdoor outfitters on the East Coast.

Founded in 1947 as a modest bait-and-gas station off Route 1, Green Top grew into a knowledge-driven hub for Virginia’s hunters, anglers, archers, and shooting sports enthusiasts. We explore how a simple green-roofed shop became a destination retailer with a 67,000 sq. ft. facility in Ashland, VA that continues to serve generations of outdoorsmen and women.

From the golden era of local tackle shops, to surviving big-box competition, to becoming the heartbeat of Virginia’s outdoor community, Green Top has stayed rooted in one thing: people who actually hunt, fish, and shoot sharing real experience with the customers they serve.

We break down their evolution, the culture of expertise that keeps anglers coming back, the rise of the Green Top Outdoor Expo, and why this shop has become a staple for tournament anglers across the DMV, the James, the Potomac, and beyond.
