Testimonial
“Our project required acquisition of wild dart (permit) broodstock. Johnny was recommended to our team due to his previous experience in broodstock capture for scientific institutions. I cannot recommend Johnny highly enough for his skill, communications and professionalism of work. He successfully caught our fish with 100% survival post capture, the care Johnny showed resulted in minimal injury and some fish fed the day post capture with all fish feeding three days post capture. His understanding of the fish, weather conditions, equipment resulted in 100% capture success on both days fishing. In addition to Johnny’s outstanding fishing prowess he was also excellent to work with. I would look forward to working with Johnny any day, he is a complete professional and excellent guy.”
