We had a great time with Butch. Superior knowledge of where to locate BIG Bass, Giant Catfish and many more species. We had great weather, shattered showers and overcast before the rest of the trip on our own was I brutal sunshine. I hooked into some of the biggest bass of my life on this trip. Butch's rod and reel setup worked better than my own. And his G3 center console is bad to the bone. We'll see you in April, Bunch! Thanks again for a life long set of memories of a great trip on a new lake for us! 10 out of 10!!
