What Anglers Say About Their Experience

From first-time fishermen to seasoned anglers, clients love the steady action, peaceful mornings, and hands-on instruction Johnny brings to every trip. Here’s what they’re saying after a day on the water.

  • I met Johnny while buying some fishing gear!  We got to know one another and he promised to take me fishing!  Shortly afterward I got a call from him saying “Come on down and we will catch some good fish”!  I went down the next weekend and just like he said we caught real good fish!  He is a great guy to be around and if he say we will catch fish, there will be fish scales in the boat!  We caught several trophy smallmouth and I lost the best one I have ever hooked!  I look forward to when I will be able to go fishing with him again because he is the best fisherman/man I have ever sat in a boat with!

  • I’ve had the chance to bass fish with Johnny Maxwell, and it’s obvious right away that he knows his way around a boat. He’s a very knowledgeable angler who understands bass behavior, techniques, and how to adapt to conditions on the water. Beyond his fishing skills, Johnny is an all-around good person—easy to fish with, patient, and genuinely enjoys helping others have a good day on the water. I’d confidently recommend him to anyone looking for a great bass fishing experience.

  • Short story about Captain Johnny Maxwell. Johnny and I decided to fish a bass tournament a few months ago on MY home lake. A lake he is seldom on. A lake I guided on for years. When rules allowed pros called me before their cutoff for advice, even guided them for television shows, etc.. After our practice in separate boats, we fished for his fish and not mine! I believe at times this man has gills!

  • I cannot say enough about Johnny Maxwell and the depth of his fishing expertise. Over the years, he has been an invaluable mentor, teaching me the nuances of bass fishing and how to land large stripers along the Tennessee River. His mastery of smallmouth techniques is truly impressive; he has an uncanny ability to locate the fish and identify exactly what they are biting
