Capt. Steve Shook - Golden Meadow

Steve was a master speckled trout guide out of Golden Meadow in the 90’s. He was/is an old friend and we visited and fished often for years. I last saw him in 2016 or 2017 but he virtually disappeared off the radar soon after that. Anyone have any current info on him?

He passed away in December 2020.
Heck of a fisherman.

I didn’t realize that he passed away.
He was an absolute master.

When it came to greasy kings and wormy trout, guy was one of the best. Good teacher as well.

Used to fish with him in late 90s. Had a lot of fun with him. He was he on those boats
We went with him offshore once and my uncle brought a baw from New York with us. We were catching snapper and lemon fish at the rigs and this baw started asking about king mackerel. Steve grabbed a pogie out the livewell and stuck it on a spinning rod with no weight and slung it out the back. Rod went down in 5 seconds. Dude was in heaven. We caught our limit of kings in 15 minutes and he traded all his snapper for our kings

He was running charters out of the place near the old bridge in Leeville back in the late 80s. He towed us back to the ramp once when we ko'd the lower unit on a piling. Great fisherman but he was quirky for sure

Back in the day when I was heavy into fishing and kept up with all the local publications, no doubt he was known as the master for trophy specks.

And one of the guys at “toupsies” hated him with a passion

I used to fish with Steve all the time as well as Ginger on occasion. He brought the kahle hook along with live pogy style fishing to Louisiana. He knew how to fish the underwater jetty system in the gulf for trophy trout in the winter/spring and dive it during the summer to find the secret holes that no one knew about.
Last time I saw him was right before he got sick. He definitely taught me how to fish for trophy specks and lemonfish on the rocks.

I have a none fishing related story, Steve use to drag race VW Beetles in the mid 70’s. Carroll’s Raceway a dirt oval which is now Baton Rouge Raceway had a VW class to which Harry Littlefield, who’s family owned Roadrunner towing, talked Steve into putting his drag motor in his dirt car for a race. As luck would have it Littlefield flipped the car in first turn on first lap with the car ending up upside down. I remember Steve running out on the track never even looking at Littlefield that was hanging upside down but was only concerned about his motor ??. Steve had his motor out of Littlefield’s car before they left the racetrack that night!

I fished with him back in 90 or 91. The guy could flat out put em in the boat. Still one of the best trips I ever went on.

Fished with him in the 90's. Prob have pics somewhere of us with big trout at Timbalier. Nice guy and professional guide as I've booked.
