IntroC Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 Al Lindner by far. Just seems like an awsome dude in general and has to be one of the best all around fishermen as in multi species angler. My species of choice changes with the season as well. For bass fishing KVD, The guy amazes me and he's a great teacher. Edwin Evers like his personality, seems like a good ole boy. Brent Ehrler, class act. Randal Tharpe I like. Quote
BassThumbAddict Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 Jason Christie- local, classy. Bill Dance- because he's taught more than anyone Gerald Swindle- because if this. 3 Quote
Jaiden Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 KVD as I used to live in his hometown and I got to meet him all the time. Scott Martin as he came to where I live currently to fish an FLW event and I got to hear an excellent speech from him about his faith and fishing. Quote
Topwaterspook Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 Timmy Horton, Rick Clunn, Ike, Gary Klein, Zell ..............I'd like to be able to fish with Tim for a couple days. He's without a doubt the most personable of the pros I've met. Byron Velvick is a very close second. Quote

SudburyBasser Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 On the FLW side I would go with Shinichi Fukae, great guy with a good sense of humour, and Scott Martin (though he needs to let go of the "dude" and "bro" stuff). Over in BASS I like guys like Randy Howell, Shaw Grigsby, Kevin VanDam, Timmy Horton, Ish Monroe, Gerald Swindle and Denny Brauer. I get annoyed with Aaron Martens because of the whining (I know people defend it as a laconic humour but it sounds like whining) but I admire his absolute command of the sport. Quote
flippin and pitchin Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 Active: Larry Nixon Semi retired: Gary Dobyns Retired: Harold Allen, Dee Thomas and Tommy Martin Up and Coming: Brandon Palaniuk and Paul Mueller The Lindner brothers are just a kick and, " It's super important to remember dat ! " Quote
VtGr0wn Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 Professional bass fisherman make me sick they turn fishing into nascar with their ******* sponsor patches all over their jackets... bassin is a hallowed tradition passed down from father to son or daughter. It is not something to be commercialized and raped by the media.... barf 1 Quote

bartdude186 Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 Jimmy Houston, met him at a resturant when i was 10 near the TN river loved him every since, great guy. Quote
DFrench97 Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 Mikeybalzz on YouTube. He's my favorite to watch anyways! Also Brent Ehrler, JP DerRose, and Karl Kalonka. 1 Quote

flyingmonkie Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 Edwin! Tommy Biffle, Shaw Grigsby, and Skeet Reese come in behind that. Quote
DFrench97 Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 There are few people on television I am annoyed by more than Karl Kalonka. Lol yeah he puts way too much special effects on his show. I just like him because he's Canadian and fishes lakes near me. Quote
macmichael Posted March 3, 2014 Author Posted March 3, 2014 After watching the classic, I really like Randy Howell. He does good things for people. Glad he won. Quote
SudburyBasser Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Lol yeah he puts way too much special effects on his show. I just like him because he's Canadian and fishes lakes near me. My problem with Kalonka is his personality. You could cut his head off and he'd still be talking meaningless babble. I don't need to hear a grown man baby talk bass for 30 straight minutes. Which is the infuriating part -- the guy seriously knows his business. I actually do pick up stuff from his show. Instead of more of the wealth of information he has, though, he'd rather goo goo ga ga a fish. In a related note, for those of you with WFN, I swear Joe Bucher is Karl Kalonka's father. Same baby talking and he looks like an older Kalonka. 1 Quote
starcraft1 Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Dave Gliebe, Dee Thomas, Gary Dobbins, Gary Klien, Shaw Grisby. The 1st. 4 I know and 3 of them for yrs. Shaw I met when the Elites were out here at the delta & Clear lake. The one I respect the most would have to be Gary Dobbins. I grew up in this sport with him and saw how much effort he put into what he is now. I can honestly say he earned all he has, and it wasn't easy. Quote
blongfishing Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 I liked Randy Howell before the classic. I admire his passion for the 3 f's. Faith. Family. Fishing. In that order. Quote
