Great trips go by in a blink of an eye. This adventure with Midnight Sun Trophy Pike Adventures is no different. I feel like I was packing a minute ago and now the trip is over. But we ended with a bang. Sammy got his sixth 47” of the week, Steve tied his week record … Read more

The place where the largest peacock bass swim. If you never saw my reports from this trip its time to … Read more
Being home for ten full days in a row now has been like being on vacation. Vacation at home! Its so nice to wake up and drink a cup of coffee from my chair and just enjoy the birds on the feeders. Its been great to catch up on emails, get my workout routines back … Read more
I’m home sweet home but not without the Amazon’s Marié River, Land of the Giants, on my mind. This was an amazing trip and a special thanks goes out to my friend Rodrigo Salles of Untamed Angling for inviting me down for some of my best fishing of 2019. And that’s saying a lot! … Read more

When a long-awaited trip comes to an end its sad. I booked this Yellow Dog Hosted trip to Farquhar in the Seychelles back in October 2015. Seems like yesterday and now it’s over. Life is passing way too fast. Which is exactly why I’ll keep doing as many of these trips as my time allows. … Read more
