If you could fish with anyone from the forums, who would it be?

[jr231]

@A-Jay . Ha-ha everyone wants to fish with you ! I tend to agree. Seem like a pretty positive and knowledgeable dude. And one of the very few I've yet to see criticize somebody.

Catt, say the word and I'll send you several packages. You have always shared your knowledge, always been very helpful, and as much as anything you have always given the members here an education and asked nothing In return.

 

God blessed me with a talent, to take it to the grave & not share it would be a disgrace!

I wouldn't even open those worms!

That's part of our history & someone needs to preserve it!

Anyone I could learn from, or anyone I could teach.

I am of course Flattered & Humbled by each vote of confidence & every kind word.

Hadn't set out to be rich, popular, highly educated or perfect.

Priorities are to be real, humble & strong and to be able to share and touch the lives of others.

I'm happy and content with that.

I would want to fish with Junk Fisherman (X-190) and A-Jay (Pro-V Bass) for their boats (and to get to know them better too) and Road Warrior to fish River smallmouth Tender Tubes and Phantom Hooks.  

[jr231]

I'd go fishing with a knowledgeable seasoned man in a old beat up canoe. The boats are cool but come on man..

[d-camarena]

Fishchris because hehas caught more dd bass than most of put together. And we both are almost exclusively spinning reel users.

And raul because being mexican my self i think it would be an awesome experience to fish down south

[Raul]

Glenn

Ajay

Catt

Rolo

Roadwarrior

Tom 

Siebert 

Those would be the gentlemen I would choose to fish in an eyeblink. They all seem to need some help from me.

[Molay1292]

I like to fish with humble folks who know their business.  The kind of people who share information freely because it helps others.  

With that said, I have a list of guys I think have demonstrated this character at least in my mind.

Ghoti

Paul Roberts

Clayton

Jrob78

Dwight H.

JeffH

A-Jay

Team9nine

Deaknh

Tim -  the Georgia boy

 

I am sure I have missed several others that I have had the opportunity to speak with here and other places that would be nice to spend a day on the water with.

 

[Bluebasser86]

I've had the chance to fish with several members, and plan to keep expanding that list. I enjoy reading nearly everyone's input on the forums and everyone has their Q&Q's that I can appreciate and I think would make a fishing trip with them enjoyable. 

If I was to choose for my own selfish reasons, I'd like to fish with Dwight or Big-O in hopes of finding one of those monster brown or green fish they're each so adept at finding. 

[Kevin Beachy]

everythingthatswims, because we live less than an hour apart, and hes a boss!

[.ghoti.]

I've been lucky enough to fish with several Bass Resource members in the last few years.

Roadwarrior

Glenn

Long Mike

Big O

Lee H

Maltese Falcon

Mike Siebert and wife Julie

If I've forgotten anybody, I can only blame it on old age and impending decrepitude, and offer my most sincere apologies.

Going forward, if anybody invites me along to fish with them, I will most gratefully accept. If there's one thing I've learned from the many days I've had on the water with this diverse group, it's that good folks are found everywhere. I've made some life-long friends here at Bass Resource; even though they've all out-fished me.

Here's a quick, off the top of my head list, of BR members I'd like to fish with, in no particular order. I've fished for a long time, but there's always something to be learned, and you CAN teach this old dog new tricks.

J Francho; I haven't fished his area of the country, and would like to do so. Besides, if a drummer and a bass player can't get along; who can?

Catt; doesn't play well with others? I'm calling BS on that, dude!!

Dwight H; never fished Erie, and Dwight seems to be the absolute best guy around to break me in on that awesome fishery.

WRB, who wouldn't want to fish with a guy who's caught so many trophies? I'd like to see, up close and personal, how a dedicated trophy hunter goes about his craft.

slonezp; brutally honest, opinionated, rubs people the wrong way? Bring it on amigo. I'll match ya, blow for blow. LOL

A Jay; just because.

I could list a lot more, but I'll stop there. You all will get tired of my ramblings.

Keep in mind that the trip isn't over when the fishing is done. we still have to go back to the cabin, uncork a bottle or three of good wine, and have a nice meal. You'll probably out-fish me, but, chances are, you won't out-cook me.

 

[deaknh03]

I have fished with, and become friends with a nice group of guys from here. My list of guys I would like to fish with is based on the fact that I find them interesting and some might provide a good foil.

Fishchris

Slonezp

Ghoti

Ajay

Jfrancho

Flyfisher

Iabass8

There are more but with so many members it's tough to recall everyone. I would feel privileged to be able to take raider out and help him pop his cherry and catch a lmb.

[jr231]

^lol

Considering I have never actually met anyone on this forum in person, I don't know how comfortable I'd be in a boat with someone that only exists in the world of virtual reality bass fishing.  I generally do not engage in activities with complete strangers lol

For those of us who have been around for years, many of these guys are not strangers at all, whether we've met in person or not. It is a long list I would like to spend a day on the water with. Like A_Jay, I will not try to list them all.

I actually considered listing you and Long Mike. I figure going fishing with the 2 of you would be cheaper than going to college.

[FishingforFish]

I like fishing with @BankBassing

[Mike L]

I've been fortunate to have fished with Big O, Mike @Siebert, Long Mike and Brian Needham and would do it again in a heartbeat. Anywhere any time. 

Jrob, iabass8, Raul, Catt, Papa Joe, .00mod, .ghoti, slonezp, Roadwarrior, BassnChris, Rhino, Dwight Hottle, WRB, riskid, Glenn, J franco, MemphisFF, Bassin is Addicting, and A Jay are just a few that come to mind as I've met most of them already. 

Just look at the roster of members, that's who I'd fish with.

[shimmy]

There are A LOT of guys I would like to fish with here. In time, I hope to fish with as many as I can. I would love to go jig fishing with some of the guys on this board and aim for a great top 5 bass pic...or if we bomb, just a fun time. Would be fun to keep an album of those good times. 

Might not be a bad idea to have this thread, or a future thread dedicated with pictures of members fishing together!

[Luna2406]

@Sam I'm pretty new to bass fishing and he's always been there to answer any question I might have. I can say I'm a better angler thanks to him.

@A-Jay probably one of the most knowledgeable guys on here. Would love just to sit and learn. 

 

[OCdockskipper]

Are we allowed to push them in the water & motor away as they tread water?  If so, then the list would be much different than if I had to play nice.

The "Play Nice" list:

Gulf Captain - Lives fairly close, seems like a nice guy and is one of 6 people in all of Southern California that likes bass fishing.

Scaleface - Close in age and has a similar history with bass fishing as I do.

Slonezp - He was dead on about what a jerk a certian pro is, something I didn't believe until I met the pro.  

Bluebasser & TeamNine9 - Their posts convinced me to try the Ned rig, so I owe them.

[chubaka]

@Big-O! I wanna catch a bass of a lifetime!

[ww2farmer]

I'd fish with any one on here who would buy me lunch. Not a task for the meek........

We are going to taco Bell. And I expect you to eat off the value menu.
