Captain Rene's first Permit and Spanish Mackrel caught with the new swim jigs. The 12 pound permit put up over 20 minute fight on 10# test line and was the largest permit caught from the area in many, many years.

These are just two of the over 40 fish caught by Captain Rene in a couple of days fishing from shore. All were caught using the new swim jig and smallmouth pattern saltwater jigs.

Rene, Here is the biggest of two browns I caught trolling your rigs. This one was 7.4 pounds and was caught using your medium rig with chartreuse teasers and the slab spoon. Wow! These things catch everything! Jim Orrick

Jim- Let's keep it kind of hush-hush about the trout. The last thing I need is the folks finding out about these on the great lakes. I'd never keep ahead if they did. I'm already trying to keep it down about the muskie, pike, smallmouth, largemouth, spotted bass caught with the rigs the past couple of years. Capt. Rene

Angie Clark with a 23 pound, 38 inch striper taken with Captain Rene on 5/25/08 on Tims Ford. Fish hit (of course) our striper addiction trolling rig. She earlier boated a 17 pounder. Conditions were horrible with all the Holiday boat traffic.

Bobby Veracelli with a 43 caught from Old Hickory in May

Whoa! First mate and guide Kyle McComb holds a giant smallmouth weighing 6.9 pounds just before being released. The fish was caught by angler Jeremy Rayburn using our medium trolling rig in August of 2007 from Tims Ford reservoir. By submitting this catch to us Jeremy won a free rig set-up for his accomplishment.

Mike McGuigan of Pennsylvania with a 48 pound Susquhanna river striper. Fish was released to fight again another day.

Captain Rene's first Pompano was a sucker for his smallmouth shrimp patten 1/4-ounce jig. The 4 1/2 pound pompano fought like a 20 pound striper. Are these fish tenacious fighters and excellent eating.

JR Cates caught this beautiful striper of more then 31 inches with his buddies Timmy Howard and Randy Zeigler from Tims Ford reservoir in Tennessee using his striper addiction rig. WE ARE BELIEVERS NOW!

Would like to welcome it newest member of the team. Little Kailey Lynn was born on Friday January 18th. Father Kyle couldn't be prouder and Grandpa is still in shock. Kailey say's she has plans on taking over the family business in a few years making it bigger than Bass Pro and Cabelas combined.
