Great guide! Passionate about fishing, hard-working, and overall great trip! Immediately caught great keepers, had a blast, and was a welcome relief from the Sturgis crowds. Highly recommend Wild Walleye Outfitters!

Wow is all my husband and I can say. Extremely professional and had no qualms about teaching us new techniques, we do alot of fishing but our first time in South Dakota, we come up every year for a month to stay with family, most definitely will be back with Kevin. Thank you for an amazing fishing day. Hey Kevin can't figure out how to add the pictures of my amazing catch of 21+ inch walleye

My son says this is the best fishing experience he ever had! He caught his first walleye in South Dakota with Kevin, and he was delighted! Kevin was great with my son and both the boys had nothing but glowing reviews, the lake was beautiful the fish were biting!

We spent our wedding anniversary with Kevin Vaughan today on a Walleye fish! Best anniversary present ever! Kevin put us on the fish and taught us how to catch Walleye. Can't wait to eat them tonight! We also caught some White Bass. If you are in the Spearfish/ Bell Fourche area for vacation and want a guided fish, Kevin is your man. Thank you Kevin for an awesome day!
