We also fish with a lot of families. It is not uncommon for us to get Christmas cards and
thank-you notes from a both our young (check out the Kids Corner) and not so young. Some of the most fun for us is when we help a kid or a new-comer catch multiple bass. When the fist fishing trip is a success, that's about a perfect guide trip for us!
On the average guided fishing trip, everyone in the boat catches several bass. We really specialize in the monster bass. AJ Freelancer Bass Guide Service holds the Lake Toho record Bass with a catch of 16lbs 10oz... Now that is fun!

"...We can't say enough about Captain Jackson! A great guide and really nice guy. He made our fishing day a real life experience, and we'll be going back. I would recommend him to anyone who wants to learn about bass fishing first hand."

"Just a note to say thanks for setting up a guided fishing trip for me and my 6 year old grandson on short notice last week. You were correct- it was the fishing trip of our lives... Tre talked about the fishing trip all the way home, and he obviously enjoyed it more than Busch Gardens, baseball, the beach, etc!"
Bob Kramer, Villa Hills, KY
"...I’ve seen the article in IN-FISHERMAN MAGAZINE with your picture. I think it is great that you are getting such recognition. I was down in June with my nephew. He caught an 8 LB bass. We had a great time. We are planning another trip in March!"
