    Experienced and knowledgeable guide! We limit out every time we book with Larry. He does all the hard work while you get to have fun reeling in the fish and taking home bags of catfish filets!

From the moment I was old enough I started fishing on Farm ponds in North Texas. Joined the military when I was 18 and enjoyed fishing in Germany and Washington State. I then moved back to Texas and started guiding part-time on Lake Tawakoni in 2010 and got a great reputation so I quit my 'real job' and started guiding full-time in 2012 and have been doing that ever since! I have been guiding Lake Tawakoni for Catfish only for over 13 years and I know this lake like the back of my hand!
