Raised in the heart of Appalachia, I bring over three decades of culinary expertise combined with a passionate enthusiasm for fishing. For almost ten years, I have dedicated myself exclusively to striper fishing on the upper reaches of Lake Cumberland. In 2023, I transitioned from the food industry to pursue guiding full time, fulfilling a lifelong dream.
Absolutely five stars! Our first outing with Lance and his company was unforgettable. Lance is not only a great person but also a top-notch guide who enhanced our fishing adventure in every way. We are grateful for the incredible experience we had today. Truly the best Father’s Day present ever! Huge thanks to Lance.
