It was great being able to introduce this Missouri family to the awesome Lake Champlain fishery we have.

Jeff definitely kept up with his daughter Mo with numbers, but his son was into quality. They definitely gave the Kast King speed demons a work out with Kodiak Donkey Tudes!!!

Great times & memories!!
