LOL...that's too funny. I would've thought hard about calling that turd out on that one. $50 cash = $80 (or more) on a paycheck. I've never employed a guide. I would've thought that to be a decent tip. What do those guys get paid for guiding a client anyway? If a rod fee is in the $200 range, how much does he get vs. the shop he works for vs. property owners (if all three are different entities). I find rod fees laughable personally and I'd never pay it on a working man's salary.
