I have fished with many excelent guides. I like Mike Kelly of Hell's Anglers. He is a hard worker and does things right. I do think that the average customer for these guides is after meat and therefore they are used to getting meat into the boat. They are also very competitive and want to be known as the guide who limits all his customers by 8am..the word spreads among the customer base and so it goes on and on. They want to get back in and sometimes fit in another full priced trip.

Knowing what I know about your fishing experience (especially this summer) I would say you should have laid down the law before going out. Most people who pay $150 to fish want the meat. I want the expereience as you do. I have fished with Robbin Rhodes on the Quinault and he gets us on the water in the morning and back at the house at dark...Well worth the $150.

The guide you went with sounds like he is burned out and only in it for the money. Turning him in won't do as much good as publishing his name right here. I guess your friends are witnesses to what took place.
