Captain Joe Bouroncle
Joe has been fishing Montana waters going on 12 years. He's been piloting the SIZE MATTERS throughout Idaho and Montana for over 8 years. His obsession with salmonids led him down the path of tournament fishing and eventually guiding. He is well traveled and well versed in the world of triumph and defeat, also known as FISHING. Never one to take himself too serious, his heart belongs to the water.
10.5 years in the Navy, serving in the Silent Service, wasn't enough. Ultimately, sharing his passion with others is what will always keep him on the water.
