“Thank you Steve. Had such a great day, appreciate you helping me finally catch a muskie.”

“Fishing with you I have really learned a lot. I am very grateful. I also want to thank you for some of the little extras you do for your clients. I’ve never had a guy set up the GoPro like that and give you [a video of my] catch to release. I really think that’s a nice extra. I also want to say you’re one of the most likable guides I’ve ever fished with. Many guys know their stuff but you wonder how you’re gonna get through a day with them. That is definitely not you.”
