UNFORGETTABLE MOMENT
Steve S: Returning guest to the Marié, and this time with his daughter, after an epic catch on a sandbar, Steve came back hoping for another moment of glory — and found it. After a tense fight that tested his skill and calm, he brought a 22 lb peacock bass to the net, a true trophy that marked the highlight of his trip.

Jon: After facing high waters in a previous visit, Jon returned determined for a rematch — and redemption came fast. On the very first morning, he hooked into a 21 lb giant, fought it skillfully, and watched it slide safely into the net.

Brad: Experiencing fly fishing on the Marié for the first time, Brad quickly proved that determination and focus can overcome inexperience. Guided through the river's rhythm, he handled every step of the process with precision and patience. His reward came soon after — a 21 lb trophy that tested his strength and composure, marking a milestone any angler would be proud to achieve.
Jean: On the final day, with time running out and the week drawing to a close, Jean remained resolute. After several missed chances earlier in the trip, he refused to let the river have the last word. That morning, his patience paid off as he hooked a powerful fish and fought it carefully to the boat. When it finally came to hand, the scale read 21 lbs — a hard-earned victory and the perfect ending to his journey.
