A couple comments. Please hire a guide that pratices catch + release. Get yourself a good camera and post the pics on this site.
Gale Radtke, to my knowledge, does not have his captains licence and can not legally guide on the seaway. On the Great Lakes and their tribs, you absolutly need a Captains license to guide for a living.This also includes guides from Ontario as well.

Forgot to mention, Clay Ferguson is one of the best. His dad guided for 30+ years and did a job on Musky. I fished with Clay years ago for bass and pike with my 4 brothers. Seemed to be a good man.Check out his scape book. Some don't talk regarding their muskies.

To the best of my knowledge, Gale has his captains license or he wouldn't be guiding the Larry. Gale, practices Catch and Release!

I fished with Clay two years ago.We got skunked.He is a nice guy, but I was very frustrated because he never changed lures all day, and never even checked the lures more than once or twice all day.
Gale's son Marvin had a recent post indicating that Gale only fishes the Larry and doesn't guide on it.
