We had an awesome day on the water with Captain Ryan! I went out with three friends, and Ryan knew exactly where to go to put us on the fish. We all landed some big catfish, and the action was nonstop. When I hooked into mine, it felt like I was pulling in an old truck rim—but it turned out to be a 34-pound cat! What an incredible feeling. I’ll definitely be recommending Captain Ryan to anyone looking to catch big cats. Highly recommend booking a trip with him!

Captain Ryan had great knowledge of the water and knew exactly where to find the catfish.

June 7, 2025

The captain is an excellent guide with deep knowledge of the local river system. I’ll definitely be booking again next time I’m in Nashville!

June 7, 2025

Had an awesome day of fishing with Nashville Kats! Captain Ryan exceeded expectations—no doubt about it! We caught and released over 300 lbs of catfish, with the biggest ones ranging from 20 to 36 lbs. Old Hickory Lake delivered, and we had a blast!

Heck ya! My wife bought me a gift of fishing with a friend, and I have been back multiple times! We will plan more trips!
