My clients hold numerous IGFA World Records. I am the one who made the Alligator Gar famous in America with the filming of 'River Monsters'. I have been featured on numerous more shows that air on global channels, including Animal Planet, History Channel, National Geographic, NatGeo Wild, BBC, Sportsman Channel. I provide guide service / coaching in fishing for the elusive Alligator Gar by hook or on film. My specialty is the Alligator Gar fishing, viewing or filming in their natural environment, on or near the Trinity River water shed. I grew up alongside fish on my family ranch. It wasn't until about 2007 that I realized how lucky I was and how rare the fish really is. Then I started studying the fish and their behaviors more, learning how to successfully catch and release the fish, their movement and spawning patterns. I enjoy sharing my knowledge.
