If you could fish with a pro for the day who would you fish with and why?

Ill start by saying I would fish with david dudley because I feel I have a lot in common and he offers a wide varriety of info

Scorcher214 reply :

I would fish like Bill Dance (as long as he dosnt push any lures on me lol). But seriously he seems like a really nice guy that you could have fun with and also serious fish talk. Plus he ALWAYS catches big bass

helms83 reply :

I would like to fish with Ike, he's fun, acts young, and is aggressive. But I think we'd butt heads cause he gets frustrated easily, as do I, lol.

JT Bagwell would be another choice. I'd like to catch bass in my home state (IL) and he could show me where and how.

Of course Bill Dance, he does seem like a nice old guy that could entertain you for hours with his stories, while teaching you a thing or two.

gotarheelz14 reply :

Jimmy Houston! He has been around long enough and has won a couple tournaments here and there to teach me a few things lol...

My main reason though, the dude is HILARIOUS! Funniest fishing show on TV by far IMHO.

Shane J reply :

I'd like to be on that boat with catt and Big O. I feel that I would learn so much, and have a great time while at it.

Dock Master reply :

Probably Mike McClleland because of his knowledge of deep water strcuture.

flippin and pitchin reply :

Joe Thomas or Charlie Hartley. They both love bass fishing, have a true passion for the sport and appear to be down to earth guys.

rowyourboat reply :

Jeff Kriet

fishermantony reply :

Ike, Edwin Evers, Tim Horton

I think they are all good guys and Ike above all because of his passion and how good he is.

grayAG reply :

surprised no one's said KVD yet. Roland Martin and Edwin Evers would be good too.

I thought the samething, but I think many want to say it, but don't want to be "that guy," lol.

If the boat can hold 4, I'm in.

oteymc reply :

I'll be "that guy" - KVD. To me, he is the best. Why not learn from the best?

ChiCityBasser reply :

Tim Horton, Jason Quinn. Skeet Reese, KVD are some of the guys I would like to spend some time with on the water.

New River Fly reply :

John Crewes so I could maybe outfish my brother-in-law on Smith Mt. Lake.

Bass_Akwards reply :

Same answer as the last 5 times this post has been made. It's gotta be Ike. I have more in common with him than I do most anglers on tour. His outgoing A-Type personality fits right in with lots of my friends and myself.

I'm not a big fan of picking low key guys to fish with if I only have one day on the water with them. I know Ike is a great teacher who has a huge love of the game. I assume Ike would be a great dude to have a few beers with while we fish and shoot the nuts about angling.

Perhaps if I saw more of the other anglers doing internet interviews, and on TV interviews and fishing shows I'd know more about their personalities and pick one of them instead. Mike's on TV all the time so He's the easy choice.

QUAKEnSHAKE reply :

I dont watch any tv fishing show anymore so the latest greatest pros I dont know much about.

The one person I would have liked to go fishing with, Virgil Ward. I grew-up watching his show.

SDoolittle reply :

I'd like to fish with Terry Butcher because we share the same home water, and I think I could learn a lot about that lake from him.

Skeet22 reply :

Cliff Crochet and Greg Hackney so I could get some helpful info on my local waters. Cliff did an awesome job this year especially for a rookie.

Bass_Fanatic reply :

What about Derek Remitz?? Where did this kid even come from!

D.R.BassSeeker reply :

Bill Dance has always been a favorite, if not him the Denny Brauer to learn some jig fishing skills.

D.R.BassSeeker reply :

Bill Dance has always been a favorite, if not him then Denny Brauer to learn some jig fishing skills.

SoFlaBassAddict reply :

I don't think I could ever narrow it down to one person.

Roland Martin - Seems like a good guy. He's local, which means tons of local knowledge.

Ike - Probably would just be a good time and a good BS session while fishing.

Denny Brauer - I'd love to pick his brain on jig fishing for a while.

Edwin Evers - Each time I see him on TV or on a video, he seems to do a lot of the same kind of fishing I enjoy. Seems like a genuinely nice guy as well.

KVD - Obvious reasons. Who wouldn't want to fish with one of the best ever?

swimbait reply :

If I could spend one day fishing with anyone I chose, it would be with Butch Brown.

Hook Set reply :

I like to change my answer to Roadwarrior, and have him put me on some BIG smallies!

I met Pete Gluszek last winter in Nashville at The Bass University
seminar. Pete is arguably the best smallmouth fisherman on tour.

He would be my choice!

http://www.thebassuniversity.com/

p.s.

Pete's my choice for "Tournamment Pro",

otherwise I would choose Big O.

8-)

He is also probably one of the most knowledgeable in dealing with tidal water out of ALL the pro's.

I would want to go fishing with Charlie Moore

OHIO reply :

Bill Dance without a question. He is funny and knowledgeable.

Nitrofreak reply :

Man that really is a tough question.

I would have to choose Clay Dyer.

I think he would have a lot to offer.

flipinstick88 reply :

My first choice would be the Z-Train! (Mark Zona) That guy is plain entertaining.

Then, Jeff Kreit, Denny Brauer, Shaw Grisby and Ike.

LA4024 reply :

I have to go with KVD, Rick Clunn, Larry Nixon, and Denny Brauer.

I grew up when Clunn, Nixon, and Brauer were in their heyday.

dh88hms reply :

I couldn't narrow it to 1 so I have a few people that I would love to fish with:

Bill Dance

KVD

Rick Clunn

Denny Brauer

Roadwarrior

Raul

Catt

Big O

I still remember watching them in the 80's on Bassmaster.

And the person who I would most likely try to drown is Charlie Moore.

riverat reply :

It's a toss up for me. Larry Nixon or Tommy Biffle.

dablaw1 reply :

Gosh what a tough one..I did most of my serious tournament fishing back in the early 80's - 90's so keep that in mind..I'll list a few and why.

Gary Klein- I fished a pro-am once with him when he was up and coming on Ky lake. The man taught me how to set the hook properly..I have never seen a man set a hook on a bass like he could/can.

Hank Parker- Would just be an all around fun day now..Back in his tournament hay day he was all business though..

Tomm Mann- Would have loved to spent a day on any lake with him.

Woo Daves- To learn more about smallmouths.

Guido Hibdon- Love watching him use spinning gear to perfection.

Rick Clunn,Larry Nixon,KVD,Ike, for obvious reasons.

I know I'm leaving out some very good names here..Oh it was just supposed to be one..oops!!

urp reply :

You kiddin? Gotta be Kevin

fishfordollars reply :

Larry Nixon

David Wharton

Tommy Martin

I have spent a day with David and Tommy. Sad David passed away a while back. I would still like another day with each. Never got the chance with Larry.

BASSclary reply :

I'd like to fish with Ike and SoFlaBassAddict. Both seem like good fun guys to shoot nuts with and I feel I could learn so much from them!

bigtimfish reply :

Todd Faircloth (Rayburn), Tommy Biffle (Toledo Bend), and Paul Elias (Falcon) Each has a special outlook and info on those lakes that I want. Certain techniques that I like and want to learn.

Denny Brauer

Vinny Chase reply :

Randy McAbee. The man knows more about crankin then anyone else.

NateFollmer reply :

Dave Mercer.... If the fishing sucked, at least he would be entertaining

I wouldn't want to fish with KVD because he would take you some place you couldn't catch fish and he'd find some and catch 'em all. (KVD should just change his name to Pokemon...)

kms399 reply :

Al Lindner

Stasher1 reply :

Shaw Grigsby, Hank Parker, Edwin Evers, and Alton Jones. They just seem like genuinely nice guys who truly enjoy fishing, and would still do it even if they weren't making money at it.

As much as I like Ike, I think he'd have me ticked off by lunch. ;D

hookingem reply :

Paul Elias, Just seems like a true stand up kinda guy and would love to take notes on his deep cranking as well.

I would want to go fishing with him, If he's catching them and you're not, it presents a good learning opportunity IMO.

BASSINATORBIGJOE reply :

Are you kidding? KVD of course!..............Mike 8-)
