Hold up, let me be more clear, Toxic. To put it simply, the guide was an ass. Cussing, flicking cigarette butts in the water, bad-mouthing other guides when they passed by...all around un-professional. Thats what I meant by kid friendly. This guy was a so-called professional, I wouldnt want my kids around him. The 2 boys going have been on the water since age 6. They are the type who stand up and cast all day, rarely even speaking. But I gotta ask....why cant it be both ways? I read alot of posts and see alot of pictures of young Eli holding up some very impressive fish, he appears to be a very experienced angler. Heck, I even saw a letter and photo of him in a national magazine. But at the end of the day, he is still a kid. I hope that clears up where I was coming from, I meant no harm.
