    Huge Bass

    4 Hour Trip (6:30AM) • 3 adults • 1 child

    John put us on some huge bass.We lost a huge smallie within the first 20 mins! 5 mins later hooked up again. My friends 8 yr old kid was ecstatic! That was the biggest fish he'd ever caught in his life.

    Response from Captain

    David, it was a blast to get you out on the water and get you on some big smallmouth bass. Thank you so much for leaving this awesome review. Let's go out again soon!

    Capt Johnathan was Great Guy, Guide & Captain ! Rough waters but we caught some fish.

    6 Hour Trip (6:30AM) • 2 adults

    He gave us a heads up about conditions ahead of time, w/ rollers at 630 am, w/ forecast to get a bit rough. But we went, and we caught some nice smallies, biggest 19-20" 4-11 and a 16-17" 3-8, a walleye, gobies and a zebra mussel-LOL.... We' already decided we'll use him again for sure, Erie or Okeechobee !

    Reported catch:
    Walleye
    Smallmouth Bass
