Gus Katsigianis Gus is our little crazed Greek fishing buddy. With 20 years of fishing and hunting our local areas, a day with Gus will not be forgotten. With his favorite being chasing the river smallies on the French Broad. You’ll probably have to remind Gus when it's time to go, he never likes leaving feeding fish. To say Gus is passionate about hunting and fishing is truly an understatement. |
