John Witt

Member since October 2019 West Tawakoni, United States
Background
Captain John is a local who dedicated his life to fishing. You can rarely meet a person with over 60 years of experience and he's one of them. 15 years ago, he decided to run fishing trips professionally and got his guiding license. The best thing about his job is seeing people's faces when they catch fish. That's the main reason he's dedicated to personalized fishing trips and he isn't interested in fishing tournaments.
