Captain Brent Kirkendall (The Ringer)

Hello from Florida, I am native Captain Brent Kirkendall! My Uncle Al introduced me at a young age to fishing Lake Toho, of the Kissimmee Chain, and Lake Tarpon. Discovering how much I loved fishing, I began catching live bait and selling it to the bait shops to fund additional equipment. I purchased my first bass boat when I was fifteen, opening new doors and affording myself additional opportunities. I began fishing in bass tournaments as a young adult, with a top twenty finish in my first professional event. Numerous first place finishes followed.

What Customers Are Saying

Captain Brent really worked hard to get us hooked up the day after a huge storm. The bass were more interested in killing the shiners than eating them, but he got us tuned in and put some nice fish in the boat. I will be sure to get hooked up with Brent and Horizon next time I’m in Orlando.

Julie bell

Great fresh water fishing!! I had so much fun!! I caught my personal best. We caught fish all day! It was an amazing day!!

Jeanine Provo

We meet at the docs he was already there waiting for us didn’t make us wait for him he contacted me to make sure our drive was going ok knowing we were coming from 3 hours away. He greeted is as if he had known us for years very polite and approachable. He was great with the kids allowed them to take their lunch on the boat with them, showed them around the boat explained things to my 11 year old son who has 10,001 questions for anyone he meets and he was happy to answer them with great Patients. They then headed out on the boat their trip was suppose to be from 3 to 5 they didn’t even get back till after 6 his main priority was making sure the kids fought fish not watching his clock. At the end of the trip he was more then happy to get a picture taken with my son and his fish which made my sons whole day and even after all that and he left he pulled over when we called because my husband left his red bull in the boat and we were heading on a long drive back to Canada. Afterwards we realized that we couldn’t find one of our cell phone which also was on the side of his trailer and he drove it back to the docks to us. If back down Kissimmee way we differently would contact again and do some more fishing but my husband would probably do a whole day he enjoyed himself so much.
