Malcolm, We've been fishing with guides in Door Co., WI, Smoky Mountains, TN and Lake Barkley with you. Nobody, we repeat nobody, offered us the action, courtesy and knowledge you gave my 2 sons and me on Aug. 8, 2004. The variety and volume of fish were spectacular. Thanks for the cleaning, storage and cooking tips. The fillets are delicious. Your service however has left us with one problem: my oldest son wants to return to KY to fish with you for his high school graduation present. Thanks again, The Varga Family

My name is Ron and I am from Indiana. I went out fishing with your son Lynn last Friday - April 16th. I had a great time! And Lynn gave me a day I will never forget! That is until the next time I fish with him! While fishing with Lynn that morning I caught the biggest Crappie that I personally have ever caught! It was an exciting moment! Anyway, Lynn asked me to send you a couple of photos that I had him take of me. Said that maybe you would like to use them on your website. Have a great day! And to you sir, I wish many great fishing days ahead. Say hello to Lynn for me and tell him I said thank you once again for the time I spent with him on Kentucky Lake.
Ron

Subject: A Big Thank You

To Hook, Line & Sinker, Lynn took my husband Joe and son Patrick on the best fishing they have ever had on August 9th, from KY Dam Village. From the moment our son walked back into our cottage, he did nothing but talk fish, fish, fish!!!! My husband just smiled a lot. They could not tell enough good things about their guide Lynn, and the fish that were caught were unbelievable. If we would have been able to get another day that they could have fished, we would have, but we were there for a long 5 days of reunion. However, with Patrick and Joe talking about the great fishing, the other men at the reunion were very upset that they had not thought of FISHING. My only regret was that my father (who was an avid fisherman) was no longer here to enjoy the wonderful day that Lynn and Hook, Line and Sinker provided. Thank you, we will recommend you to anyone who will listen. Sincerely,
Judy Supan

Malcolm, Just wanted to thank you for a wonderful fishing trip. My Dad and I had a fantastic time fishing with Lynn. He put us onto fish almost immediately and we didn't stop catching them until it was time to go home. Lynn was also very fun to talk to and he had a lot of good stories! I will definitely remember our White Bass trip for a long time to come, and I most definitely will be fishing with guys again. Once again, thanks for a simply fantastic day of fishing.

Malcolm, Wanted to let you know how much fun my family had fishing with Lynn last week. He worked long and hard making sure my son and daughter got on some good Crappie. And, Lynn is very personable, and knew how to get along well with (and help) teenagers and wives who don't spend much time with a rod in hand. Please pass along to Lynn my thanks!

My dad, Rudd Caudill of Hazard, KY is one of Lynn's good buddies and we had the opportunity to fish with Lynn last August. He is super!!!!!! Our fishing experience was one that I will never forget. Tell Lynn to get into the 21st century and use email. We are hoping to bring Dad down when he gets his leg better. Fishing is his one true pleasure and Lynn has brought a lot of happiness into my Dad's life through his friendship. Tell Lynn we will see him soon and please be sure to share this with him.

From the beautiful sunrises every morning, to the numerous Crappie we stuck in that live well every day, all day, our 2 days with you were a fisherman's paradise. After Dad caught the biggest Crappie of his life (17.5", 2.5 lbs., 70+ yrs. of fishing experience) we retired the 40+ yr. old "Ted Williams" fishing rod.

The other good thing is that we caught some slabs...BIG SLABS!! Thank you, & please thank Lynn for me (us) one more time.

Malcolm, since that son of yours doesn't use these modern methods of communication I'll give you this message. I want to thank Lynn for the good Crappie trip. We fished hard while we were out there and I learned some things I can use up here as well as when I come back down there. I hope we can hook up again sometime. Keep in touch when that big Crappie bite is going on.

Malcolm, I wanted to take a minute to thank you for a great time. We had 12 people on this annual fishing trip, therefore we had hired 6 guides. I am extremely happy to have had the opportunity to fish with you. My customer (Don) that was fishing with us had the time of his life. He was like a kid in a candy store. He had never fished much, but thanks to you I believe he's hooked. We later talked to some of the others in our group about how they had done fishing. It seems that while others were not catching fish, we caught fish... Looking forward to fishing with you again. We will be back. Thanks, Barney

We had a great time with Lynn and we want to book another date next spring with him. Perhaps we should try to come down earlier. Please let me have some possible dates which would be the highest % of when you think the Crappie would be good fishing. We really enjoyed the few Crappie we caught...largest Crappie these ole Missouri boys have ever caught!

I just wanted to let you know how enjoyable it was fishing with your son Lynn Saturday, March 31. I was part of Keith and Kevin Storck's group. I only go fishing once a year and Lynn was very helpful and gave me some great tips on fishing. He also made it fun. I have a son who is five years old and maybe in a few years I can make a trip back to KY Lake with him and have Lynn as our guide. Thanks again,

My wife and I had the pleasure of fishing with Lynn Lane this week, and I would like to take this opportunity to express our appreciation for the time, effort, and patience that Lynn extended to us to make our trip unforgettable. We caught plenty of fish and we learned some new techniques for catching White Bass (my wife's favorite). We were able to cut our trip short because we were fortunate enough to get our limit of fish sooner that we expected. This afforded us some time to get back home and relax before returning to work on Monday. Thanks again for the experience.
