Biggest King I’ve ever caught.
4 hour trip on August 10, 20261 adult

Captain Ken was an amazing guide & has vast knowledge of these local waters. He is very client focused & sets you and your group for the highest probability for success. Told him I wanted to fish for Kings & we ended up putting a 30+lb fish in the boat. I will certainly be booking again with Game Changer Charters LLC next time I’m in the area.

We fish in Missouri and wow what an experience we had! Our captain was remarkable and we felt at home with his humor and calm manner! Our 3 children enjoyed the morning and Captain made sure they stayed hydrated and was always helping keep them in the fishing game. We caught many fish and cannot wait to call him up when we're down here again!
