About Us

At Slaunched Guide Service, we’re not just about fishing — we’re about the hunt for true giants.

Our mission is simple: help passionate anglers chase down double-digit bass and experience the unmatched adrenaline of trophy bass fishing in West Texas. Whether you’re a seasoned angler chasing your personal best or a die-hard enthusiast looking to land a legacy fish, this is where your big bass story begins.

We specialize in trophy bass hunts, targeting fish over 10 pounds during peak big bass windows. Our home water, Lake J.B. Thomas, along with other West Texas trophy fisheries, offers some of the best opportunities in the state to catch the fish of a lifetime.

🎯 Focused on Double-Digit Bass
Everything we do — from scouting patterns to gear recommendations — is tailored toward one goal: helping you connect with a double-digit bass. These aren’t just catches — they’re milestones.

Our season peaks during the Toyota ShareLunker program, which runs from January 1 through March 31. This state-supported initiative celebrates the pursuit and preservation of Texas’s biggest bass, and we proudly support it.

🐟 Why Slaunched?
We don’t just guide — we hunt.

We study lake patterns, moon phases, pressure systems, and bait migration to put you in the best position possible.

Every trip is custom-tailored for trophy pursuit, not numbers.

We live and breathe big bass — and nothing else.

🏆 Chase a Legacy Fish
Whether you’re trying to join the ShareLunker club, smash a PB, or simply experience the thrill of targeting giants with a guide who lives for it — Slaunched Guide Service is your go-to trophy bass partner in West Texas.

If you’re ready to fish with purpose and hunt the bass that most only dream of, book your trip with us today.

it all started here

What’s up! As a guide and instructor, I’ve been blessed to share my knowledge and expertise with countless others, helping them unlock the secrets of successful bass fishing and sonar tactics, all while fostering a deep appreciation for the beauty of nature.

Every time I’m out there on the water, it’s like a burst of energy and excitement that takes me back to my childhood. So, let’s create some unforgettable memories and let me show you how to reel in that ultimate trophy slaunch. Trust me, there’s nothing like it!

I guide fishing trips on the following lakes: O.H. Ivie, JB Thomas Lake, Possum Kingdom Lake, Elm Creek Reservoir, Lake Champion, or any other West/Central Texas Lake!
