More than just fishing.
 15 years of service in the global war on terror.
We take veterans, and inner city teens fishing.

We believe in challenging the status quo by doing things differently.  That is why we lived on Dog Island, FL (Boat access only) with our 5 kids for over a year. After George Floyd was murdered we had to come home to be a part of the solution in Minneapolis. We inspire continuous improvement through camaraderie while living a waterfull life.


Capt. SGT Peterson's proven process for fishing has been applied both locally and internationally for 19+ years to catch the most, and the biggest fish. These techniques have been honed since 1990, whence he began guiding family and friends at the age of 10 on his 14ft Lund aluminum fishing boat that was passed down to him by his grandfather.

Just like his grandfather Capt. SGT Peterson guarantees you will catch fish. Or we can just go for a great boat ride! We book up over a year in advance so call now to save your date! I will film your day and put it on YouTube. 

My daily filming rate is $5,000-$7,000.

I will travel anywhere to film on the water. 

Capt. SGT Peterson

Kaizen

Inspire continuous improvement through camaraderie and the outdoor movement.  We believe in leading life our own way by blazing our own trail. We don't always know what that is going to bring us everyday but we know the path will be our own, and it will be interesting. If we are lucky it may even turn into a tale or two for the campfire that evening or for your children someday.
Capt SGT Peterson has been perfecting his 5 Step Proven Process for catching only the biggest fish since the age of 4 on the lakes, rivers and creeks of Northern Minnesota and Canada. It is a simple but effective method to catch the biggest of the species that has been tested in waters all over the world.  From 40 inch Northern Pike and Large Muskies, Big Walleyes, Large and Small Mouth Bass and Massive Lake Superior Lake Trout in our home state of MN all the way to Giant Southern Stingrays in Tampa Bay, Capt. SGT Peterson has them figured out.  He has caught huge Spinner Sharks in the Atlantic and the biggest Salmon and Halibut in Alaska.  He has fought with barracudas with teeth bigger than kitchen knives in the Pacific to the biggest Bull Red Fish, Kings, Grouper, and sharks in the Gulf of Mexico. There are not many guides that have caught as many species of fish as Capt. SGT Peterson. Many guides can catch you a bunch of little fish. Some can catch you a limit of keepers. Few can boat trophies.
If you believe what we believe, maybe you should try us. You just might find a guide for life. You may become part of the Capt. SGT Peterson's extended family and come back year after year like so many. We don't make clients, we make friends.  If your service is at anytime not up to your satisfaction we will make it right ASAP.
We believe in Kaizen, the ancient Japanese word that means continuous improvement. We apply this to everything in our lives, from family matters to fishing. If you believe in sharpening your blade until it's razor sharp, then you are probably just like us.

Capt SGT Peterson served in the US Air Force up to Technical Sergeant (TSgt) (E-6), mainly as a Weapons troop, leading weapons load crews loading and maintaining the most advanced aircraft weapons systems in the world.

Also as a Sergeant First Class (SFC) (E-7) in Recruiting, Retention and Attrition Management NCO full time for the Minnesota Army National Guard Red Bulls, 2nd Brigade combat team, mostly the 2-135 A Company which was an Air Assault unit at the time.

Lake / River Fishing

Venture out onto the Mississippi River, Lake Made Make Ska, Lake Harriet, Prior Lake, St Croix River, Lake of the Isles, Lake Nokomis, Minnesota River, and a few others spots that will remain secret. I grew up fishing the Twin Cities hard. You will be amazed at the quality fish we will catch with skyscrapers reflecting of the water behind you. This is truly a unique experience.
