See this example of a release http://www.boatus.com/Angler/guide_liability_waiver.asp

Also, depending on the state you may not have any recourse at all since there is implied risk... Just checked and Michigan requires licensed guides to have "general liability" insurance. It maybe time to contact Michigan DNR.

Having said this I can only assume the guy is a jerk or cannot afford to do the right thing.
