Captain Stan Gerzsenyi has been immersed in the fishing world since his teenage years, inspired by family members who were also guides. His passion for angling quickly evolved into a career, leading him to compete in tournaments and even operate a lure business. Over the past 35+ years, he has guided anglers across some of Texas’ most renowned bass fisheries, including Lake O.H. Ivie, Lake Fork, Falcon, Amistad, and Lake O.H. Ivie—famous for its giant bass. His expertise has attracted clients from around the globe, including Japan, China, Russia, and Mexico eager to experience the thrill of bass fishing under his guidance.
Stan’s career is marked by achievements that reflect both skill and dedication. He has qualified for the Bassmasters Classic, won the WON BASS Championship (Western Outdoor News Bass), and has been featured on the cover of Bassmaster Magazine. His deep understanding of lure action, fish behavior, and seasonal patterns—shaped by decades of tournament experience and leadership in a major lure company—allows him to adapt strategies across changing conditions, giving guests a true advantage on the water.
Alongside national tournament recognition, Stan has also competed in circuits such as BassChamps and BassMasters. He is U.S. Coast Guard certified and holds a NAUI scuba certification, underscoring his commitment to professionalism, safety, and preparedness. Anglers value his calm, steady approach, clear instruction, and practical guidance—from gear selection to reading water patterns—which fosters confidence, learning, and skill development in every trip.
For Stan, guiding is about more than fishing; it’s about sharing a lifelong passion. One of his most memorable experiences came when he guided a 14-year-old who landed an 11.5-pound largemouth bass. Watching the joy shared between the young angler and his father is the kind of moment that defines why he loves what he does: creating lasting memories, teaching, and inspiring others to grow as anglers.
