For cost reasons I try and be selective about how I invest my fishing monies. I've been out with several guides, with a specific purpose each time. Ultimately the goal for me is always to learn so I can become a better fisherman. I went out with Jason for the first time this weekend and am really glad I did.
I think we ended up catching 14 fish on a half day trip, really nice size, super healthy fish, but more importantly I was able to learn and expand my knowledge about two different patterns, and focus on the details in a couple different presentations.
If you are just looking to catch some fish, Jason will put you on them. However, if you are looking to learn and grow, I would really encourage you to get with Jason and focus on technique, pattern, etc. He is very knowledgeable and can help you as an angler.
Im no KVD, but I am an experienced angler who lives on Lake Fork. I can honestly say our time on the water was not only very beneficial to my growth as an angler, but was one of the most enjoyable times I've had in quite a while.
Thanks Jason!

Thank guys!!! Jason, I really enjoyed spending the morning with you and I hope to see you back soon. Here are a couple of the fish we caught Saturday morning. I've got a this Thursday (16th) and Friday (17th) open if anyone is interested in coming to Lake Fork to take advantage of the big fish bite going on right now. I've also got a few scattered open dates between July 20th and July 31st.

Dan,I think that is just proof that catch and release is working.

Good job Jason.
What is wrong with that last fish. That mouth does not look normal. Dan, Jason starting catching bass so big, he had to buy a gaff. That fish just happened to get it in the mouth, the second fish is where Jason gaffed it in the side. Sorry Jason, had to do it!! (nice catch by the way)

I have never been with him on a guide trip.... but he was in the area when I caught my personal best one afternoon a few years ago. I was alone in the boat without my camera or scales. He came over and weighed it (12.12) took some pics and mailed them to me later. Genuine good guy that seems to really like bass fishing.
And I know who "Jeff" is.
