Take a 48 seconds to see what Captain Dana did for me. I have fished all over the world and used a lot of guides, Captain Dana is one of the best, he truly wants what you want, and he won’t stop until you get it. I am about to turn 61 years old, I just spent 5 days fishing and feeling like I was 10 again. Thanks Captain Dana, keep’em low. Frank
