Yeah we have Cormorants here now in Maryland but I've never seen them in the river only in saltwater near the coast. I have actually been reeling in a crappie and have had monster pickerel or a giant gar grab the fish and run with it. It can really freak you out on a quiet backwater. Feeling like Im on to something in this new spot. Here is one of my bigger fish from today and a screen shot of the fish finder as I pulled into the deep spot. I got so excited when i saw this.
