To be able to fish with such an experienced guide, professional angler, and most importantly a new friend, is a once in a lifetime opportunity. My father and I have been fortunate to fish and hunt all over the nation and with some of the best guides that are out there. At one point during our trip I looked at him, "Art this really touches me; I never had the opportunity to fish with my grandfather before he passed and you look like him, talk like him and you gave me a memory I that will last forever." I don't know how you get them to hold the soft plastics for so long but, we had 7LB bass that Art handed us the pole and well it's a good thing my football days are behind me I fumbled got tangled and Art went, jumped in, and we got him. Also he can add one more species to his things to catch; Gators, with a rod and a real (I'll let you tell that one). In all of the places and the guides that I have met myself or traveling with my dad this whole trip felt like we were fishing with a long lost friend see you soon. Thanks Art,
