grampa1114 Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 Ya gotta love Howell's comeback at the classic and his sincerity...Mueller is a local so he makes the list too...Now for schmucks ...Kalonka is at the top of the list but Mercer and Zona are gaining rapidly. I'm not a big "song and dance" guy....Mikey D is better for just taking you fishing. Quote
Delaware Valley Tackle Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 Al Lindner I loved the Lindners since they had In-Fisherman Magazine before they were on TV. Seem like just good people and super knowledgeable about all sorts of fishing. Quote
aharris Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 A-Mart b/c of his natural knowledge of fishing. He's a pretty cool dude too. It would be fun to fish with Scott Martin on the Big O though. Quote
Super User Dwight Hottle Posted March 6, 2014 Super User Posted March 6, 2014 The guy on the left. 2 Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted March 6, 2014 Super User Posted March 6, 2014 The guy on the left. You guys are Bestest Buds ~ A-Jay 1 Quote
Super User DogBone_384 Posted March 7, 2014 Super User Posted March 7, 2014 Since I really don't follow the pro circuit at all, I'd have to go with Bill Dance and Roland Martin. It seems like they've been on TV forever. Quote
Super User QUAKEnSHAKE Posted March 7, 2014 Super User Posted March 7, 2014 Virgil Ward If you like watching Linders you have Ward to thank.. Quote
NathanW Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 I dont have a favorite, I have a least favorite (hint he screams like a todler, dresses like a tween, and drives a boat like a 16 year old). Favorites, and it changes all the time because I pretty much like em all... Greg Hackney for his fishing skills/technique Brent Ehler for his ability to pattern Tommy Biffle for his shorts and ability to catch so many fish on one bait Mike McClelland for his passion towards jerkbaits Ish for his froggin skills Jeff Kriet for his squirrel like shakyhead skills Aaron Martin for his dry and sarcastic commentary Alton Jones is just a good dude and an awesome big stick Randal and Jason Christie are also awesome big stick guys that I have been following lately, both impressive. KVD makes the list too because he is just great at explaining what he is doing and why. 1 Quote
aharris Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 How can you not like Ike? Just because he's not the stereotypical "fisherman"? I bet he's introduced more people to fishing than some of the other fishermen you listed. He helped a lot of guy realize that you don't have the be the typical "fisherman" to make it in the sport. They guy has passion...and he's different. You cant hate him for that. 1 Quote
stkbassn Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Tim Horton, Randall Tharp, Scott Martin, Byron Velvick...met Timmy and Byron and they were all class. I haven't me Randall or Scott but I like em and they seem like good peeps as well. Quote
Chance_Taker4 Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 LIKES EE, Ike, KVD, Gerald Swindle, Jacob Wheeler, Andy Morgan, JT Kenny. DON'T LIKES Aaron Martens-whiner Ish- Blames other fishermen for his bad days Bill Dance- every show seems to be on the same lake and only shows when her catches Lunkers Denny Brauer- Never meet him but from interviews and watching him on the water makes him seem arrogant and a jerk Quote
Cast_And_Blast Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 Greg Hackney #, simply because he's so funny in my opinion. Ish Monroe #2. Love watching him throw top waters! Also Edwin Evers, Shaw Grigsby, Ike, Timmy Horton, Gerald Swindale, and Takahiro Omori. Don't know a whole lot of people but I always find myself liking them when watching them fish. Quote
flippin and pitchin Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 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. Grigsby, Dobyns Quote
kanasbassfisher08 Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 brandon palinuk, jason christie, and randall tharp X2 Quote
5fishlimit Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 Bill Dance because he is funny as all get out. Aaron Martin for his demeanor. KVD for his overall awesomeness. Quote
Hittmann Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 bill dance for the comedy aspect/ KVD for is ability Quote
Super User RoLo Posted March 20, 2014 Super User Posted March 20, 2014 Other than Al Lindner, I really have no favorite pro angler. It's kind of a moving target that changes over time, muddied by migrations from B.A.S.S. to FLW: 1960s: Bill Dance (Out of the chute, B.A.S.S. was known as All-American - Bill was top-dog) 1970s: Roland Martin (A formidable force in his era) 1980s: Larry Nixon / Rick Clunn (By now, pro fishing had become much more advanced and competitive) 1990s: Denny Brauer / Jay Yelas (Brauer was then the biggest moneymaker - Yelas was lost in the shuffle between BASS & FLW) 2000 to Date: Kevin VanDam (What can you say? The man is part fish) Roger Quote

SFL BassHunter Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 Shaw Grigsby! I think his personality is awesome, he is so likable. He is also a Florida guy. He is so easy to root for! Quote
Weekend-warrior17 Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 My man John Crews, but Iaconelli aint far behind and by far the most entertaining. Quote
