Col. Shawn Prickett and Captin Jim Hanley

One of the perks of my job as a fishing guide on Lake Erie near Buffalo New York is meeting some amazing people. I had the honor of fishing with Col. Shawn Prickett and is wife Tonya and 2 kids a couple of years back. Col. Prickett has served multiple tours in Iraq as well as Afghanistan and was the commander of the helicopter pilots that flew the Navy SEALS for the bin laden raid. He is a West Point Grad as well as an Army Ranger. I salute his service to our Nation and am honored to call him my friend. BTW was caught a ton of Lake Erie small mouth bass and sheepshead the day we fished together.
