This guy knows his stuff!
6 Hour Trip on September 8, 20262 adults

We stopped calling him Captain, and started calling him Professor. This man knows saltwater fishing, and since we knew little, he went out of his way to TEACH. It's one thing to put you on fish, it's another thing to show you how to find fish so you can catch them on your own. Kieran, you are professional, and kind, and patient, and a wonderful human being. Thank you so very much.
