| About as enjoyable a day musky fishing as I've had in a long time. Mr. Jonesi is the real deal and his "Thrill of The Hunt" for big Mille Lacs muskys will indeed excite your soul and keep the likes of youses coming back for more.
It's all there: the complete guide package, the emphasis on musky fishing fundamentals, details, specific of details, boat control, bait presentations and locational patterns. I don't see anything lacking Jonesi.
What is a surpise joy though is his "Thrill of The Hunt" attitude and that will indeed excite you on each and every cast and perhaps change how the likes of youses fish for trophy musky.
I cannot recommend this guide enough. While this is Steve's first year being a musky guide, he's fished for many years and this isn't going to be a slow climb up the ladder for Steve; he's already up there and is going to be in demand more next year than what he even imagines.
Youses is the star Jonesi. It was fun. BTW, I guide Jonesi, I catch the musky. He guides me, he catches the musky. Team Thrill Of The Hunt is 2 for 2.
Jonesi's yesterday Mille Lacs 48x24. Oh, yea, I taught him THE CLAW picture hold.
BTW, out of 132K acres of castable water, Mr. Jonesi retrieves Jason Hamernicks lost Calcutta/All Star combo. And, he did the same for one of my rods, but I don't care to get into those details.

Location: Downers Grove, IL | Nice fish MOjO! It still feels strange walking on solid ground today. Man those waves were HUGE. I made a mental note to request a day off before I head up to Mille Lacs for a two day weekend! I'm beat like a dog........But thanks again it was an absolute blast. I'll be back next year to let the pounders fly! In the mean time I've got a score to settle with a few fat heads around my neck of the woods.

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | Nice pictures and a great report, Mr. Fenner; thank you. Steve is a very good stick, and a people person, too. He's a natural as a guide, and should be a popular selection for the tourists on Mille Lacs in the future. Hope he'll still have some time for an old fart to grace the back deck in that Ranger once in awhile. |

| No problem Mr. Worrall.
Jonesi isn't going to forget where he came from because he's too smart, knowing it will guide him further in his climb up the musky ladder. I have no doubts about that sir. I would say the likes of youses has the best pro-staffer that any musky website/organization could have and I sincerely mean that.
What I really enjoyed about fishing with him twice is his passion for musky fishing and his concern for those he fishes with. I say this because it's so natural about Jonesi, so pure and so common about his nature (something totally foreign to the likes of meses) and this will be a very good basis for him to take his next career steps this coming winter.
If anything, I enjoy talking to Jonesi and offering ideas that could be of benefit, but I sense Jonesi is his own man and he will indeed make the right decisions and one of them isn't to forget who his true friends are.
I just hope I can save up enough money to hire him again next year because this year was a bargain for the experienced returned to the likes of meses.

| Dave, the check is in the mail!!!Seriously though,I really appreciate the kind words.I've been grooming myself for this for a long time,but figured it would happen after I retired instead of divorced.Things happen for a reason.I've put my heart and soul into this season and have had the ups and downs we all experience.The difference maker has been the people I've surrounded myself with.Good people all around.Clients and friends.THAT'S what it's all about.Do the absolute best you can with what you've got and let the chips fall where they may.Take care of what we can control and don't worry about the rest.As the season winds down and I've taken some time to reflect, I'm really excited for what the future holds.Good things happening with "Steve Jonesi's Thrill Of The Hunt Guide Service".Special thanks to AJ, my manager of the KWAN.LOL.
