I just got off the water at Choke Canyon with Greg West. We caught 41 bass in two days up to 8.77 lbs. My first trip with him. Great guide! Granted, I want to catch a PB when I hire a guide, but what I really want is knowledge; to be taught. I have fished with Johnny Guice too. Great guy; great guide. He took my brother-in-law and nephew on their first fishing trip ever. His instructions from me: make sure they catch fish! Doesn’t matter what the species is, just make sure they are setting a hook and getting hooked on fishing. Both Greg and Johnny are knowledgeable, attentive and what I think make great guides. I’ll book them both again, soon! Y’all should have fished Bass Champs, you would have won.

Reading comprehension - F I assume your response to Green Hooksket had something to do with the original question about the top 10 lake Fork guides to use out there and since he was not on Fork with Greg West (who is a fantastic lake Fork guide as well as many other lakes) you decided he needed a F- for reading comprehinsion. I guess. I really have no idea what you meant. Basically he was just expressing how well his first trip was with Greg West (a lake Fork guide) and how well Greg works so hard to put you on fish. He also caught his personal best on this trip. He was responding to how good Greg West is as a guide. You had no reason to put him down for that, but I guess that is just how some people are now on the TFF. Always negative about someone having a good day catching fish.

Thanks ezbassin! I didn’t think I needed to clarify that Greg West and Johnny Guice were guides on Fork. I thought most Lake Fork fishermen knew that. By the way, thanks for selling me that Shimano reel from your arsenal!

Glad you like the Metanium I sold you.

Wish I could have another day on the water with Mark Pack and Billy Dyson. Really miss both of them. Both pioneers in their own ways out there.

I’ve always had a dang good time with Brooks Rogers. Lance Vick was great as well. Brooks is a good dude and fun as hell to fish with!

I've always loved Richie's night fishing reports. How was that experience? Did you guys move alot? Didja catch? Night fishing is the best. We started about sunset, it was in July and hot. We put in at the Minnow Bucket and hit points on the east side until it got dark. Moved into Dale Creek and fished jigs and caught several nice slots, yes we did hit alot of spots and fished several lighted docks. We didn't go in until the sun came up. Would definitely do it again. We caught 10 fish total the biggest going a little over 8 and of course the big one that got away.

Fished with John Tanner once. Nice guy and learned a lot. Several others were scrubs. Dad fished with Richard McCarthy back when there were leaves still on trees. He still talks about McCarthy.

Whoever caught all those Rayburn and Toledo bass in those Black and White photos at Fishin' World, I wanna fish with those guys! I love those old photos like that.
