Chris is an excellent fishing guide - one of the most experienced operating in West Michigan. Your day on the river will be one to remember!

Chris was phenomenal! He was able to fit us in last minute and was very patient with my girls. It was the best fishing trip. He knows where to find the fish and keeps the kids engaged. They never got bored! We will definitely book again!

Look no further. Chris is THE guide you want for your next fishing trip. He took my wife and me out, where we caught massive pike (biggest fish I’ve ever caught). Chris was knowledgeable, patient, funny, and by the end of the night, we were casting like pro’s. We got back late, and Chris cleaned our fish at 10pm! I will continue to use Chris for every fishing trip from now on every time we visit Michigan. Nice job Chris, keep up the great work!

On Monday July 27th 2020 we had the privilege of fishing with Captain Chris Bosse. Chris made us feel like we have known him for years. In between the great conversations we got some very large pike. 35”, 31” and 26” We also saw several bald eagles. What a beautiful trip on the Manistee River we will never forget. Chris is the guide you need to pick for your next trip!

Thanks Chris what an excellent experience! Chris made booking a date very easy. Chris responded to text messages and questions timely up until meeting at the best location for our target species. Chris was very personable and knowledgeable and made us comfortable the entire day. I recommend Hooked Guide Service.

Chris personalizes his trips to suit your needs. We really appreciated that. When we had to begin later in the morning than planned, our catch was low. Chris was nice enough to supplement with some frozen fish of his own!
