Joe put us on the fish! Both my 15 y/o son and I each caught 7+ (we stopped counting) largemouth in four hours. Also caught two huge bluegill, a rock bass, and a nearly 3lbs smallmouth (along with a northern pike that was chasing a hooked up bass!). Great overall trip and will look to go out with Joe again!
That was an awesome trip guys, that smallie was truly epic!
Joe did a great job taking us around the lake, having poles set up, and bringing us to areas with fish. We all caught numerous bass and northern. We had a great time! Highly recommend!
Thanks for the review guys, had an awesome time!
