Who is your fav pro bass fisherman 2024

Crank_Baits reply :

well mine is Dave Mercer

BassChaser57 reply :

Larry Nixon! He seems like a guy to go fishing on sunday afternoon. GOOD GUY.

GobbleDog reply :

Roland Martin. I heard he once turned down a "Make A Wish" kid because he was too busy.

Now that's a dedicated fisherman.

5bass reply :

David Fritts,the crankbait KING!

Upnorth reply :

Charley Hartley. Not a very well known tour pro, but a super nice guy and one of the best smallmouth fisherman on the planet.

ranger50 reply :

I'd go with Jay Yelas. And to GobbleDog---One who turns down a 'Make-A-Wish' kid because he is too busy is not a dedicated fisherman, he is selfish.

Vyron reply :

Mark Lassagne : seems to be a very nice guy and taught me lot of stuff with his shows

basspro48 reply :

Gerald Swindle, heck of a fisherman and you gotta root for the good'ole southern boys .

Shad_Master reply :

It's hard for me to pick one, but there are several that I would really like to fish with:

Gerald Swindle would be a hoot to spend time on the water with -- I remember watching him in an FLW tournament years ago when he took out a chain saw to cut through a fallen tree to get into the back of a cove -- he won the tournament.

Woo Daves -- if you haven't seent the story about him and the kid with cancer, you should

But my absolute favorite is Rick Clunn -- he has been my idol for longer than any. Not only a superb fisherman, but a real person.

Now that's hardcore, but I guess that's Swindle fer ya .

Rattlinrogue reply :

Zell Rowland;don't know if he's a nice guy or not,But when you look up redneck bass angler in the dictionary it's got his picture beside it.Also a great topwater angler!

basser89 reply :

#1. KVD! I really love his style of fishing! Can't wait to me him some day!

#2. David Walker - Met him twice, he's a great guy. He was willing to talk to me after a seminar for about an hour answering any questions I had.

3. Woo Daves - I've seen him several times. He's a great presenter in his seminars! And has gone above and beyond to answer questions I've had for him. As far as e-mailing me after he did some research first.

RR,

I met Zell at the Classic last year. He's a real down to earth guy!

KenDammit28 reply :

I have to pick two because I love both Gerald Swindle and Kevin Vandam. There are others that I enjoy but to me, those two embody everything that I love and respect about fishing. Gerald is a classic southern born, southern bred guy who's in love with fishing. His attitude is great, and he just intrigues me when he's talking, for some reason. We all already know KVD's deal, so I won't go through it..but..I'd love to get to spend my life fishin with those two guys.

Crank_Baits reply :

i would also like that crank bait king guy to teach me more

Lightninrod reply :

Larry Nixon: Met him at a BM Univ. and he's a real gentleman.

Shaw Grigsby: Florida Basser personified!

Dan

Michael H reply :

Kevin Vandam

guest reply :

No hesitation for my answer. Rick Clunn. I like his low key intensity and his thoughtful approach. It seems like nothing he does is random. Right or wrong everything he does seems to have a reason behind it. Also he has an uncanny ability to dig down when the pressure is most intense. 4 classic wins is phenominal.

Sorry, that was not Gerald Swindle that used the chainsaw. It was David Dudley. Dudley won the tournament.

Gatorbassman reply :

Triton Mike Bucca 8-)

senko_77 reply :

mike ike and gerald swindle

Nick_Barr reply :

John Semken, and Marc Marcantonio for regional pro's: These guys are top notch when it comes to personally helping you out and going above and beyond.

Aaron Martens, Joe Thomas: Aaron becuase he is sorta goofy like me, and he is versitile. Joe Thomas because i like his TV show and he sounds like a great guy and a real proffesional.

dink reply :

Denny Brauer because he is the only pro I've met who actually sounded like he wanted to go fish my little lake I described to him. Randy Howell is another who seemed like he just wanted to go fish "anywhere, anytime".

RoLo reply :

Kevin Van Dam is the best, but Larry Nixon is my favorite

BassKinG reply :

KVD and Rick Clunn are my personal favorites.

benzo73 reply :

preach4bass,

I wish I had thought of that ;D

SneakySnook reply :

Ike and Swindle because it would be fun. Van Dam because I would be able to learn so much from him.

rocknfish9001 reply :

I like Van Dam because his homtown is just a 45 min. drive from here. I like to go to D+R, which is owned by Randy van dam. They have the best selection of older lure companies like mann's and local companies. Also, they have a diverse spinnerbait section, who would've guessed? But i look up to Rick clunn as well because of his amazing success.

Zach90 reply :

Gerald Swindle and Mike Iaconelli are my favorite

Riley reply :

My pick would be the G-Man: Gerald Swindle. There's just something about that guy. He is hilarious and can back it up on the water to boot. I dont think there is anybody else i would like to spend a day on the water with more than him....even if i wouldnt learn as much as opposed to being with kvd or someone else

Mr.Bass12 reply :

I agree that GobbleDog is selfish n Gerald Swindle is too dern mouthy. I would have to go w/ Marty Stone. A good ole' Carolina hoss!

Rattletrap reply :

Ike and KVD for starters.

0119 reply :

Guido Hibdon....he took the shame out of spinning gear!

bassbuster29 reply :

Bill Dance,Gerald Swindle, KVD

rbaddis reply :

You just have to go with a good ole' Michigan boy taking to all those southern boys! GO KVD!!! (about to win classic # 3)

Basspastor reply :

David Walker among my favorites

Gary Dobyns & Dean Rojas because they are slop frog fishermen.

Javelin_Venom reply :

Denny Brauer

cgs2004 reply :

Rich Tauber, very funny guy

JDUB reply :

Fluke, I like the way you think. I would also suggest as I have in the past, JT Bagwell.

These guys may not be the best known but when have you ever seen KVD, Ike, Bill, etc... logged in and giving you advice?

Also a big to my favorite amatuer, Glenn. Thanks again Glenn.

ARCHER reply :

For the most part, all the pros are pretty good guys. We are fortunate that our sport doesn't yet have a lot of $h--birds, like Terrell Owens and Ron Artest.

I would like to say that George Cochran will soon join the likes of Owens and Artest, if he continues to fish out of other competitors back pockets, like he did to Jim Bitter a while back. That was a disgraceful act for a past champion. I would have loved to see Bitter verbally undress him for that one, while on film.

I'm sure Bass/Espn will only air the footage that benefits their business interests. There have, I'm sure, been other dispicable things done in tournaments, that we may never know about.

I'll take G-man, Skeet, Mark Davis, Larry Nixon.

FALCON reply :

KVD, BECAUSE HIS STYLE IS MORE LIKE MINE. I'D LOVE TO SPEND A COUPLE DAYS FISHING WITH HIM SO I COULD PICK HIS BRAIN.

PLUS HE IS FROM MICHIGAN.

I ALSO LIKE LARRY NIXON ALOT.

SWB reply :

KVD- No explanation needed

G Man

ARCHER reply :

After watching Basstech yesterday, I'd like to change my choice.

I'll take CHIGGER............

crankin_king reply :

2 guys KVD because of what he stands for and what he teaches people and the hometown boy Bill Dance

Fish-N-Terry reply :

ROLAND MARTIN,he's the MAN 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-)

topwtr81 reply :

clunn

nixon

Landis76 reply :

Who would I like to fish with most? RICK CLUNN!! OF COURSE!!!
