    Best fishing trip ever.

    10 Hour Trip – Day • 2 adults

    My son and I had the pleasure of fishing with Henry yesterday and it was an amazing trip. Caught big Alligator Gar all day using a variety of techniques. All gar released. Lost track of the number of fish we caught. I estimate it was at least 40 that were boated. Henry is super knowledgeable, easy to take instructions from, and is quick to help. I am going to fish with him again for sure.

    Great Gear, Great Gar, Great Guide!

    6 Hour Alligator Gar Trip Morning • 2 adults

    This is some of the best fishing I have ever experienced. I was fortunate enough to book a 6 hour trip where my buddy and I caught 3 alligator gar all over 5 feet including a 7 footer roughly 160 lbs. The boat was comfortable, the guiding and knowledge was awesome, and the care for these dinosaurs was great too. It was an all-around great day and I appreciated the communication and flexibility to work around any issues that came up. I will, for sure, be back next time I make it to Texas.

    Fun and educational for my son

    6 Hour Alligator Gar Trip Morning • 3 adults • 1 child

    Henry is a wealth of information. A natural resource himself who can talk as nauseam about one of the oldest, coolest, misunderstood species of fish on the planet while you catch them. Heroic guide!
