bowl is on wtvj seven monday and tuesday rain and snow showers transitioning to snow showers will get a light weather impact day tuesday my have some slick spots from the morning commute then wednesday and thursday that goes away and sunshine comes back, it away from to historic preservation site. so far. no date has been set on the relocation. when it comes to fishing, just being out there can be the best part. yes it can--but for those of you fishing for muskies in the james river there will be an added bonus--if you catch one you can get some cash. the muskellunge or what's locally known as the muskie is an aggressive apex predator found all

biologists say for decades the muskie has filled a valuable niche in the ecosystem. it is at the top of the food chain and it helps regulate and balance the other prey species at the bottom of the food chain the virginia department of game and inland fisheries has been stocking the muskies across the state since the late 70s. it wasn't till the early 90s the population really started to rise and here on the upper james river, biologists are eager to learn more about the fish. we are no longer stocking the fishery, it's taking care of itself. the river is full of 36 to 40 plus fish. locals call it "the fish of ten thousand casts" but the nickname may be losing its reputation as the muskie is becoming more abundant here on the james river we're netting muskies. 05:01:02 what the states wants to do is tag them in two areas--one where fishermen can actually make money if they catch it again. you wanna go for the

netting them. in the next month, biologists are collecting data by using electro shock fishing with what looks like metal tenacles that are connected to a generator. generator turns on the generator sends electricty into the water and stuns any fish in the area. once a muskie appears, the boat bolts towards the fish where it's netted, put in a live well and then analyzed. we inject them with a small tag that's about the size of a grain of rice and that has an id on it that we can id that fish in the future, how much it's grown where it has traveled, if it's tagged here or somewhere else. the next thing we do is put a tag in for anglers to see and they can clip that tag off and send it back to us. and that tag helps us get an idea of how often those fish are caught and released or caught and harvested. it's free money, all you gotta do is catch the fish of ten thousand casts but hopefully for you it'll only take a few. if you do catch a

tag you can send it back to the virginia department of game and inland fisheries and they'll send you 20 dollars. we have that address on our website at wdbj7 dot com. a tractor trailer wreck is blocking a lane of i-81 in botetourt county. we'll tell you what you need to know about that, and other traffic issues in your latest i-hometown traffic report, after the break. it's almost as busy as thanksgiving but

entire game. that's right. there's a lot of planning and timing involved in a good super bowl party. that's right and you got a lot of the people there who are even watching the game. they are there to watch the commercials or the halftime show. we're not sure how dedicated some of the fans are. you know not everybody's got a dog in the fight. go panthers. so tell me on sunday are you going to be here manning the... yeah we do a little dog and pony show call big jim's chicken shack and wing a rama. so we decorate it up. we have a guy here named jim naturally he's our chicken guy. and will be selling wings from 11 o'clock in the morning right up until kickoff. and i'll be scampering out of here about five minutes to six to travel across town to get home in time to see the kick off. and will this be a busy place on sunday yes it will. according to kroger's research the super bowl is the second's i asked food consumption day after thanksgiving so we we look to be selling

hear the deli and bakery area but throughout the whole store. and dessert is another big part of any super bowl party so what do you have here? right here we have just a couple of things that the ladies down at the bakery can do for you. we've got some cupcakes that have game day decorations on them, we also do large chocolate chip cookie cakes. we do what's called pull apart cupcakes. and you know every ladies favorite a chocolate dipped strawberry. these are very creative i've never seen football themed strawberries before. yeah and it also segues into what comes up after the super bowl which is valentine's day. so will be doing a lot of strawberries between now and then so apparently, super bowl sunday is second only to thanskgiving day when you consider how much food we all consume in a single day. kimberly and garrett, that surprised me when i heard that, but judging from some of the super bowl parties i've attended over the years, i guess it makes

so what would it be like to play in the super bowl? coming up after the break, we'll introduce you to a former super bowl

couple of days away from superbowl 50. but this sunday will also mark the six- year anniversary of superbowl 44, when the new orleans saints defeated peyton manning and the indianapolis colts. wdbj7's zac glover caught up and current radford resident, pierson prioleau , who was a member of that superbowl champion saints team. zac glover: pierson prioleau's basement is full of memories from his 12-year nfl career. but before he made it in the pros, he cut his teeth as a defensive back at virginia tech. pierson prioleau, super bowl champion: "my experience at virginia tech was probably some of the best years of my life, the best four years of my life. i was very thankful to frank beamer and his staff for giving me the opportunity to come up from south carolina and play. i enjoyed being a

be a hokie." zac glover: after his career at tech, prioleau was drafted by the san francisco 49ers in 1999, but was released from the team after just two seasons. but he was able to find a spot on the buffalo bills roster, beginning a long relationship with first-year head coach, gregg williams. pierson prioleau: "i was willing to do everything to be there in buffalo, because i had just let an opportunity in san francisco slip, so i was one of the guys that went the extra mile. for me, that was kind of easy, coming from virginia tech, where special teams was at a premium. so no matter what team i was on, i always made a good relationship with the special teams coordinator. 'hey, i'll cover kicks guys.' because i know there's longevity in that." zac glover: and that longevity would go onto earn him four seasons with the buffalo bills, three with the washington redskins, and one more with the jacksonville jaguars, all before the 2009 season. pierson prioleau: "i was at home that summer, just finishing up my 10th season, playing in jacksonville for one

even know if i was going to play any more years. i was at a point in my life where retirement was actually being contemplated. gregg williams called me once again, i became a member of the saints, and the first thing he told me when i got there, he said, 'hey, we have something special here." zac glover: the saints would go 13-3 in the regular season, eventually earning a trip to superbowl 44, where they'd meet peyton manning and the indianapolis colts. pierson prioleau: "the two weeks of practice preparing for peyton manning, was line no other preparation we had done that year. because we knew how smart he was as a quarterback. we knew he was going to out-think us." zac glover: but a 4th quarter pick six off of manning, cemented a 31-17 superbowl victory for prioleau and the saints. pierson prioleau: it was just a feeling like, 'hey, clock, just run out!' so we can just run out on this field and start the celebration. we starting hugging, there was tears, and at that moment, we realized, 'hey, we really won this thing.' it something that i'll never, ever let go. it will always be a part of me, to be able to experience that with

year, being the first super bowl for new orleans, it was really special." zac glover: prioleau would reach the end of his nfl career soon after that, and has since began a new chapter of his life, working in the radford school system. and he says there's much more to him than just his past accomplishments. pierson prioleau: "you know, i'm an elementary p.e. teacher at radford, i'm a high school football coach, i'm a dad, i'm a husband. 'hey, coach prioleau is just like all of us.' that's my expression to them. anybody can do this. anybody can be whatever they want to be." zac glover: words he's continued to live by on his way to a superbowl championship, and even now, as just dad. in radford, zac glover, wdbj7. we also asked prioleau for his prediction of superbowl 50. and he says, he's taking the carolina panthers over the denver broncos. you can catch the big game right here on wdbj7 this sunday evening at 6:30. and you still have time to submit your
