Chris,
Thanks for the fishing trip of a lifetime. Of course, we
would have enjoyed a sunnier day or more fish, but Jennifer
and I had a great time overall. Your guiding skills are first
rate and we hope to employ them again in the near future. Attached
is the picture of the tarpon we caught yesterday morning. Thanks
for a wonderful experience!

Dear Chris:
Just a note to
let you know how much my brother, Bill, and I enjoyed fishing
with you last week. We really appreciated
all
of your effort and the knowledge you shared. If you need
references, please do not hesitate to use either of us. Now, what was that
you said about the big bonefish coming in in September?
Let me know if there are 3 or 4 days when the tides and
the fish, the moon, the planets and the cosmos are all
lined up right because
we would like to come back down.
Best wishes. Richard Wilt,
Huntingdon, PA |

Dear Chris,
Thanks for another year of great fishing.
My Father-in-law’s
quote, “I did a lifetime of fishing in one day” certainly
rang true! He sure enjoyed your kindness, expertise and patience
towards him on his big day “on the water”. We were
at a family gathering a few weeks after we returned and he
was quite excited re-telling Debbie’s four brothers his
stories of fishing with Chris.
Also thanks for making it such a special
day for Lauren. Years from now I’m sure she will always remember that day of
fishing with her grandpa “papa” and the tarpon
he caught. It’s a memory that is priceless and will always
be with her.
Your kindness towards Lauren can’t
be expressed in words, we can only thank you for continuing
to bring the enchantment
and magic of fishing and the sea to her year after year!
As always thanks for all the great
fishing, but more so for the great company on the water.
Our time in Key West wouldn’t
be complete without our fishing days with you.
Take care,
“freezing up in Chicago”
Joe and Debbie
PS Lauren wanted to send you this “original” of
her on your boat. Notice the knife and chum on the platform… |

"In nearly 20
years fishing with Chris, my best day was fighting five tarpon
weighing
probably 500 pounds overall for 4 1/2 hours out of 8 on the
water. My
second best day was a gorgeous day, steady balmy breeze when
we talked and let our paradise sink in, but were fishless."

| During a visit to Key West
from Minnesota, the friends I was visiting took
me out on a charter with the Captain. Lorenzo and Kay promised
me this would
be a cool experience. I felt so lucky when on my first experience
on the
flats, I caught a 9 pound bonefish and a 12 pound permit. I was
so blown
away by the tropical colors of the Content Keys and the drag
screaming runs
of the fish. I could not wipe the grin off my face the entire
trip. I
returned home, packed my bags, sold my ice fishing gear and have
been
enjoying great fishing with the Captain.

| My first charter in the Keys was with
Big Kahuna Charters. Not knowing what
to expect I had high hopes. About 2 hours into the trip, after
having some
fun with bait fish, we proceeded to a spot Chris had chosen.
His knowledge
of the Keys and area waters is unbelievable.
After baiting up and setting out our "smellers" the
wait began. About an
hour after this, a tremendous scream came and I witnessed a
rod pull like
none other. I was handed the rod and the fight began. For the
next hour or
so, and what became 2 miles later,I fought and cranked what
would be my
biggest fish in my 20 years of fishing, a 7 foot, 135 lb Tarpon.
The grace
of the rolls and pure power of this huge animal was unbelievable.
I
consider this one of my most memorable fishing trips.
I have continued fishing with Chris every
trip to Key West and have no plans
(good Lord willing) to quit any time soon.
