The kids and I had a blast! Chris was really great at teaching all of us what to do and what to look for. He was also great at easing my kids into it and making them feel comfortable. They couldn't stop talking about it and they all want to do it again. It was a really great experience! We caught plenty of fish!

Do not hesitate to book your trip with GarZilla! Fantastic experience! Our guide, Randy, made our day one we will never forget and gave our 14 y/o son a memory he will be talking about well into adulthood.

My wife, two children, and I booked an alligator gar trip with Garzilla while visiting Texas, and it was one of the highlights of our trip. We drove about four hours from Marble Falls to Palestine, and it was absolutely worth it. Our guide (Evan) was knowledgeable, respectful, patient, and great to spend the day with. His boat was very clean and well maintained. He took the time to explain everything and made sure everyone had a chance to catch fish. The only thing that could have made this trip better was if evan had put me on the biggest fish (approx. 165 lbs.) But more importantly, every one of us caught one and had a great experience. If you're thinking about booking a gar trip, I highly recommend Garzilla. We made some great memories and would gladly do it again.

We had a great trip catching Crappie on Cedar Creek Lake. Justin put us on the fish and we caught our limit. He was very helpful with anything we needed and also was very kind and considerate. I will definitely recommend him to everyone I know! Can't wait for the fish fry.

This was the best fishing trip we ever made. Many bites, a nice guide and at the end we landed a mansized monster. Hopefully we can go again soon. Thank you for that experience Richard

Justin is the best fresh water fishing guide I have used. We were on fish all day. He knows how to catch crappie, and freely shared fishing tips We will.be here a week and will be fishing out of my boat the rest of the week. He willingly shared several suggestions on where and how to fish.This guy is genuine Southern hospitality.
