Embark on the heartfelt journey of Andrew Ernst, a passionate freshwater fishing guide and tournament angler whose connection to the water runs through generations. Andrew's fishing odyssey began at the age of 5, growing up in a bass fishing household where every cast held the promise of adventure. One defining moment etched in Andrew's memory is meeting the iconic American Chopper duo, Paul Senior and Junior, alongside his dad. As a 12-year-old, Andrew had the pleasure of showcasing not just one, but three fish over 7 pounds to these legendary figures. The astonishment and admiration in their eyes were palpable. It was in that moment that Andrew knew: fishing wasn't just a hobby; it was a calling. The very essence of Andrew's guiding business, the "King of the Glades Experience," holds sentimental significance. This legacy continues as his dad runs the "King of the Glades Tournament Trail" for 17 years. Now, Andrew carries this revered name into the guiding business, a nod to the passion and tradition that has shaped his fishing story. From the age of 5 to the present day, Andrew stands as a custodian of fishing wisdom, sharing his skills and love for the sport with enthusiasts of all ages. Join Andrew on a fishing adventure, and let the "King of the Glades Experience" redefine your relationship with the water, one cast at a time.
