    Wow, I had such a great time. I went out with JJ and he found the fish, big fish in really tough conditions. He taught me a lot about the live scope and is just a really great guy. Aaron went above and beyond to set up my trip for me and it went off without any problems. I would highly recommend these guys and have already started making plans for my next round of big fish. At the end of the day, I come away with someone that I consider a friend!!
