When I bought my new Blue Wave last March I decided to keep my old one and let Carlos Duggan, a long-time friend, use it for guiding. He'd been doing some guding out of an older, smaller boat but really needed something bigger and more stable.
I was doing two-trips a day or full-day trips nearly every day for weeks on end during the spring and fall and wanted to cut back some. I was also giving away a lot of trips that I couldn't take because I was booked up, which wasn't very smart.
Well, it's been a "Win-Win" situation so far. Carlos has been showing folks a great time, putting them on plenty of quality fish and most importantly making them all want to come back to fish with him again. And, he's making me money! :)
Carlos turned 70 last spring and I keep telling him he can take off whenever he wants but he never wants to so I keep booking trips for him. He's done over 80 trips since the first of March.
Here are a few of his stringers:

He's like the Energizer Bunny - just keeps going and going and going!
