Oh man, lemme tell ya! You can tell Larry loves what he does! My husband and I had so much fun fishing with him and just talking in general. Not only did we catch a ton of fish but I learned sooo much from him. This is definitely an experience we'll remember forever. Thank you so much Larry!

Larry was great! Went straight to a spot and filled a cooler with bass. He makes sure youre having fun and on fish. We made rookie errors (and have fished long enough to know better) but he never made us feel guilty or missed a beat. We will definitely be back and refer him to our family/friends!!!

Larry was absolutely the best guide service we have ever had. Started at 7:00 am. Didnt bring us back to dock until 12:30. He waited until we caught over 100 fish. Ended the trip with 102 bass. It was an amazing experience. Thank you Larry!!! I highly recommend. He knows Lake Eufaula!

So if you want to pay to watch a man fish
This guy is for you. Boat did not have sufficient seating for paying clients. Provided no assistance or instructions on types of bait, Techniques, help with tangles, no conversation. Yet he concentrated on fishing himself with no attempt at helping the clients. They did not pay to see their guide fish and then claim with pictures this is what the group caught. Caught 10 fish total for three men, while guide caught 20+.
cost for 3 was 375. So if you want to pay to watch a man fish
