Since 1994 Steve Lytle and his clients caught or tied a
Nebraska state record wiper seven times. The
record chase began with Kirk Ulray's 13 lbs. 14 oz. fish in
April 1994. Steve caught the current state record, a
20 lbs. 1 oz. monster, on August 1, 1999 from Red Willow
Reservoir.
While Steve has become a highly successful and renowned wiper angler
and guide, his
angling expertise extends well beyond this tremendous trophy
species. He has
helped countless customers boat hundreds of Nebraska Master Angler fish
over the years, including largemouth and smallmouth bass, northern pike, walleye, channel and flathead
catfish, tiger muskie, white bass and crappie.
From 1996 to 2006, Steve and his clients have boated an
astonishing 5,000 Nebraska Master Anglers!
Steve is a native of McCook, Nebr. He started fishing for fun with his
brothers as a kid. His interest in fishing intensified in
1983 when he joined the Lincoln County Bass Club in North
Platte. He earned their "Mr. Bass" title by
catching the most total pounds of bass in club tournaments in
1983 and 1984.
In 1985 he
placed 2nd in the Nebraska State Federation tournament on
Grand Lake of the Cherokees in Oklahoma. He successfully
competed in divisional B.A.S.S. federation tournaments in 1985
and 1986. He also had several top 10 finishes on the Great
Plains circuit. Steve gained valuable experience while
competing on lakes and rivers in Missouri, Arkansas and
Louisiana.
Steve began
fishing professionally in 1987 on the B.A.S.S. and U.S. Bass
tournament circuits. His best efforts included 17th and 19th
place finishes during separate tournaments on famed Lake Sam
Rayburn in Texas. Steve compiled numerous other top 50
finishes during his six years as a touring pro.
1993 marked
the beginning of Steve's full-time guiding career in southwest
Nebraska. His fishing experience and dedication have really paid
off for clients who enjoyed many amazing fishing days over the
years. Nobody works harder to insure his customers have their
finest fishing experience and go home completely exhausted.
And when it comes to catching big fish, Steve's results are
second to none.
Steve is
widely recognized as one of the state's most knowledgeable and
accomplished anglers. Spend a day on the water with him and
you'll see first-hand why he has gained such respect.
