Customer Catch Story: Marco Mazzuca

“I was fishing the Kankakee river with my dad and it was my second time ever fishing! Previously in the day I caught the same fish but broke off at the bank and knew I had to get it again. So about an hour later I had another big one on. It was the same fish!! I was astonished and couldn’t believe my eyes it had my lure I lost in his mouth. So I got a huge plus to my day giant PB of a smallmouth and got my lure back. I reeled it in to the bank and my 3 year old fearless brother netted the fish for my and without him I probably wouldn’t have even caught it. And if I win the rod I am certainly going to give it to him as a thank you and take the pride for myself.”
