Unfortunately Csonka is being seen by lots of folks here in AK as he lives here now and is filming his shows here frrequently. His reputation is pretty well flushed at this point. Many lodges have kicked him out mid-stay and told him the advertising he promised was not enough... He has met other folks fishing and attempted to force them out so he could do his filming.

I personally know a number of folks that entered agreements with him and regret them.

Another local writer and fishing guide, Chris Batin, has a similar reputation for being a complete jerk and I only mention it because I have seen video... He cut the line on a king salmon as a friend's young daughter was fighting it. This after rudely pulling in second to a huge hole and anchoring in a spot just to create problems for the people fishing above him. The video clearly shows him take a knife to the line as it passed his boat. There are many folks with similar Batin stories.
