Rick LaPoint has been serving the Branson area with U.S. Coast Guard-licensed professional fishing guide services for about 24 years.
“Being a fishing guide was always a dream of mine when I was a kid, and one day I just decided to do it,” said LaPoint.
“I quit my job with Pepsi-Cola to pursue my dream, and I started guiding on Table Rock Lake and Taneycomo for trout.”
LaPoint did as much as he could while working part-time and after five to six years into it, that’s now all he does.
