    Amazing Trip with Captain Mark!

    14 Hour Trip – Trophy Catfish on September 12, 2026 • 4 adults

    We had an awesome fishing trip with Mark! He was professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and really knew where to find the big fish. We ended up catching some big catfish, which made the trip unforgettable! Mark worked hard the entire time to keep us on the fish and made sure everyone was having a great time. Great equipment, great atmosphere, and an amazing experience from start to finish. If you’re looking to catch some serious catfish and have a fun day on the water, Mark is your guy! We’ll definitely book with him again. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Big Blue Catfish!

    8 Hour Trip – Trophy Catfish on October 30, 2026 • 2 adults

    This was a great experience! I’m a city boy that wanted to experience catching big blue catfish, Captain Mark with Top Knox Fishing made sure that happened. He’s knowledgeable, prepared, and experienced. We caught 5 blue catfish with different methods. 4 were 20-22lbs and 1 eating size. All equally as fun. Appreciate the vibes and experience bro 🤙.

    4 Hour Trip – Multi-Species (AM) on October 12, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 child

    We had a great experience on this Tennessee charter! The captain was very knowledgeable and made the trip enjoyable from start to finish. Everything was ready to go. The equipment was fully rigged, and the boat was already in the water before our hit time, so we got on the water without any delays. We had an awesome time and all of us even caught our first catfish. Highly recommend this charter!

    8 Hour Trip – Trophy Catfish on June 27, 2026 • 2 adults

    We had the best experience. He was a pleasure to fish with. His excitement every time the pole would bend over with a catfish on it is unmatched by any other. Bring the family and sit back and catch a trophy fish. Will be booking again.

    April fishing trip

    4 Hour Trip – Multi-Species (AM) on April 1, 2026 • 2 adults

    I was very impressed with Captain Marc. I have been on other charters and the captain did almost everything and didn't explain what he was doing, all I did was reel in the fish once they were hooked. Captain Marc explained what he was doing and took the time to teach my grandson how to do it. He learned a lot about catfishing. It's all he has talked since the trip. We had a great experience.

    Amazing Fishing Trip

    4 Hour Trip – Multi-Species (AM) on March 30, 2026 • 5 adults

    We had a great time with Marc. He ensured we caught a lot of fish as we told him our dinner depended on it! He took a great deal of interest in our trip & was really good with my 15yo son (the reason we booked the trip). Thank you Marc, keep on fishing!

Trophy fish fanatic from freshwater to saltwater. I love catching the biggest and baddest fish around. Sharing the sport of fishing is a lifelong passing that pushed me to leave the corporate world and chase my dream.
