drmnbig Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 Rick Clunn KVD and the late phenom Bryan Kerchal Bryan Kerchal was one of my inspirations for getting into fishing as a teenager. Sure is a shame it had to end so early. KVD Brian Snowden Quote

BASSMAFIA Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 Mike McClelland, he is my favorite elite man to watch!!!! 8-) Greg Hackney- the "ole hack Attack" he is a bass vaccum i do like KVD because of his knowledge.. IKE because he is strange/crazy and sometimes thats a plus!!!! ;D I like the old school HANK PARKER, I record his show on the DVR... Quote
BassResource.com Advertiser FD. Posted March 6, 2009 BassResource.com Advertiser Posted March 6, 2009 Bobby Lane. Being a local guy, I see him in small tournaments several times a year and he is very personable and talks to everyone like he is just one of the guys. Quote
Fish MD Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 Jeff Kreit - He's just flat out the man. Timmy Horton- Gotta have the biggest heart on tour. Quote
jimmieO Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 Steve Kennedy because he a local war-eagler and he just seems to be a good dude all around. But so are 99% of the guys on the tour. Quote
Super User whitwolf Posted March 10, 2009 Super User Posted March 10, 2009 Old school: Hank Parker, Guy Eaker, Blake Honeycutt, and while not a pro a local guy that had a show for years and years before he passed, Jim Ledbetter. Others; Gary Klien, Larry Nixon, Tommy Biffle, and David Fritts. Quote

-FisherGal- Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 WHO WAS...... The First ever Elite 50 Champion (2004) BASS Angler of the Year (1992, 1996, 1999, 2008) Bassmaster Classic winner (2001, 2005) ESPN Outdoor Sportsman of the Year (2002) and can catch bass in the toughest conditions when no one else seems to be able to......He has been pro since 1990 and keeps getting better... his 'sexy shad' cranks and spinners "ROCKS MY SOCKS!" he may not be the best looking (aka BRAD PAISLEY has him beat as far as a man who fishes and looks good) but, Id be honored to be in his boat any day of the week... WHO?? hello..... KVD!!!!! Quote
wagn Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 I'm going to have to go with KVD as my favorite pro. I also love his videos. I learn so much each time i watch them Quote
ChazfromVA Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 Id have to say Mike McClelland.. The man is a guru with a jig in his hands! ;D But u gotta respect KVD for everything he has accomplished too.. last but certainly not least would have to be Derek Remitz.. the kid is a dam good fisherman to come out in his rookie year on the elites and school the big dogs dragging a football jig on Amistad.. and just to show he wasn't a fluke he scored i think 2nd in the very next elite series stop.. Mad props to Derek Remitz Quote

WHO?? hello..... KVD!!!!! KVD is the best bass fisherman out there right now....crazy consistent. However, I honestly think IKE is going to match what he has done. Ike is just getting started, and seems to be on his game like I've never seen. 2nd in the Classic, and now leading the Elite 50 on Amistad. Look out..... Quote
greg516 Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 Ike and KVD for sure! Ike's personality is a breath of fresh air when watching the tournaments. Quote

WV Bass Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 1. KVD 2. Horton 3. Duckett 4. Clunn 5. Hite 6. Reese 7. A. Jones 8. Jeremy Starks 9. Evers That's one of the nice things about Bass Pros. Unlike a lot of other sports, Bass Pros are good role models. No criminals or "want to be" criminals. No drug users, wife/girlfriend beaters, or murderers. Quote
Super User Hammer 4 Posted March 26, 2009 Super User Posted March 26, 2009 Current....Skeet- KVD.. Past..Hank Parker, Larry Nixon, Don Iovino.. There aren't any I can think of that don't like..those listed are my faves. Quote
