Fishing with a pro.

[Steveo-1969]

@A-Jay from BR. For the giant smallies and because when I grow up I want to morally be like him.

 

Mark Zona because he seems likes a very genuine person on TV. Denny Brauer because  I miss “Brauer Bass Battles”. Denny’s dry sense of humor is the best!

[N Florida Mike]

Since Id probably be fishing Florida, Id pick Roland or Scott Martin, Shaw Grigsby or Peter T. 

[PourMyOwn]

Larry Nixon or Al Lindner for me. Nixon was such a nice guy when I met him, and Al because I'd like to mock his accent all day.  

[NorcalBassin]

Pro: Brandon Palaniuk- Be great to fish any of those Northern Idaho lakes with him.

"Celeb": Zona or Matt Allen

BR: I'd even pay for the education to fish with A-Jay and Catt on their home waters or hunting giants with WRB

[J._Bricker]

I’m going say Hank Parker, KVD a prodigy who’s career path a lot of us have witnessed and admired. And Jordan Lee, who is a exceptionally talented angler who’s career may eclipse that of KVD...

Spending a day on or (or even off the water for that matter) with a human who possesses a vast level of both bass fishing knowledge & experience as well as the desire, communication skills and overwhelming passion to pass some of that on

 

I get this every time I fish with Fishing Rhino and Saltysmalljaws.

 

Brian Latimer would be my choice to spend a day with a Pro.

[TcRoc]

I would have to say B Lat. . I know it would be a fun day on the Water and that’s what it’s about to me...comes across as a guy who likes to bust your chops and have a good time which is more or less me . 
Other than him quite a few members here with a pro skill level or are Pro’s  I’m sure I’d enjoy a day with .. if I can learn a trick or 2 even better.

[Darth-Baiter]

I only know one. Brian Latimer.  I like his channel.  
 

I don’t watch tournaments.  So unexciting to me. Like watching golf. 

[txchaser]

Definitely a few members here would be on the list.

 

And since it hasn't been mentioned yet, Hite. Helped make the lure that is just ridiculously good in my neck of the woods. I'd like to go much deeper on just that one lure as I think there's a bunch of details that could level me up.

 

Next down the list would be any of the great jig fishermen. 

 

Finally for something way different, a local pro in japan, on their lakes. I think it'd be really different and I'd learn a bunch of stuff that would be new and interesting. Biwa is definitely on my bucket list.

I think partnering up with a pro for a team format tournament where proceeds go to some worthy charity would be cool. 

That would be a cool promo! Pair up BR members with pros for charity. Let's make it happen lol

 

As for me, I would probably pick Brett Ehrler or Aaron Martens. While I fish jigs and T-Rigs more often than drop shots, their general approach to finding fish seems to be fairly similar to mine.

 

And it would be cool to fish with some of our forum pros like @WRB or @A-Jay as well

[Mobasser]

For me, I would choose to fish with any of our site moderators here. They've all been helpful. Also, I'll choose Larry Nixon or Tommy Martin,two of my heroes.

I would love to spend a day on the lake, fishing with Rick Clunn. I would really love to spend a day on a smallmouth river with Ott Defoe in his tricked out jet rig.

[Choporoz]

I've never really followed any professional fishing, but I have been watching the MLF Championship series of shows from Minnesota.   I must say that I have been very impressed by all of them.   Not just their fishing skills, but their attitudes and mindsets,  too.  I only recall two moments when a guy got off his game.  I'd be thrilled to have the opportunity to fish with any of them.

[Columbia Craw]

Paul Mueller and Gary Dobyns.  They would have to do because A-Jay is always busy.  But that’s cool because I would want to go through his tackle boxes but that’s not necessary because he posts photos of everything........ which is nice.

[Mjmj]

I would love to spend a day fishing with Bobby Uhrig.His knowledge and enthusiasm would make for a great day on the water!

I can take you to the areas ott fishes in a much slower rig with much less fish catching! 

[Steelhead]

Jeff "Gussy" Gustafson. A fellow Canadian. He uses Loomis rods and fishes alot of Zman products which I do as well. We could BS about hockey while fishing. 

 

From the old guard, it would be Bill Dance. He was my favourite growing up. Would love to fish some of those deep hidden spots fishing among the Cypress trees.

[BigAngus752]

I'm going to take this just a step further and divide into:

 

The natural teachers that I want to learn from:

Gary Klein

Greg Hackney

Ish Monroe

 

And the guys that would just be a blast to fish with all day:

Scott Martin

Andy Montgomery

Wesley Strader

Brother, one of my regrets is not going fishing with you before moving to AR. Next time I come home for more than a few days, I'm going to be in touch with you.

Let’s do it! My fiancé’s aunt and uncle fish the white river frequently also, maybe I’ll make it to AR also. 
 

I think fishing with Jordan Lee would be awesome, he’s a fish magnet!!

 

 

[Capt No Fish]

Does Zona count as a pro.  I would pick him.  I want to have fun while I am fishing as well!

 

[walleyecrazy]

I’d have to say it would be a tossup for me between B Lat and Zona. I think both of them would be a blast to spend a day on the water with. 

[Luke Barnes]

Evers and Tommy Biffle live in the vicinity but i would have to pick Ike! 

 

It would be educational but funny and exciting I bet!

[Trox]

I'm pretty sure I could fish from the bank with Gerald Swindle and it would be the best fishing trip ever... But if I wanted to really learn some stuff I'd probably go with Wheeler or Defoe
