Jeff is the definition of dedication! In a Lund on LOTW, paper maps is how we learned the lake!

I was fortunate to have found Gussy early on in his career. I hunted with him, and my wife and I fished with him, and he connected me with his father one time for fishing. He's a quality individual in everything he does. None better.

I can verify how nice the Lund ride is having been Gussy’s Marshal several times…especially in rough weather…lol.
