Peter T, I know him personally and am friends with his son, he is prob. the nicest person I've ever met and will do any thing to help you catch more fish or just do any thing you need for you.

I also like Alton Jones, kenyon hill and Casey ashley.

I wish I could say I like Ike and I dont not like him but the screeming and all is a little annoying for me.

Captain Obvious reply :

Clunn,KVD,Jones,Jordan

I like Ike but these are the guys who I try to really learn from, Ike's just fun to watch

502largemouth reply :

Probably a tie between Timmy Horton and Mike Iaconelli.

I always say that my dreamlist of pros to fish with is as follows:

from the least to the most(5-1)

5. Rick Clunn

4.KVD

3. Timmy Horton

2. Mike Iaconelli

and my pro I would most like to fish with for a day(not really a pro, I know) is Mark Zona.

I couldnt imagine a more fun person to fish with for a day.

Cyas,

502largemouth reply :

You know, I have to mention another one, he would have to be in my top ten and he's relatively unknown, Mickey Thomas.

Ever since I read the BASS article about him and that young boy he met at a gas station on the way home from a tourney.

What he did with and for that kid and the kids at his school I was speechless.....my girlfriend cried when she read the article.

The guy carried mentally handicapped children to the local lake to fish, this guy is the poster boy for what BASS and the whole sport IS and should be.

Cyas,

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

BASSMAFIA reply :

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...

Md reply :

Dave Wolak

Charlie Hartley

KVD

Timmy Horton

FishinDaddy reply :

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.

Fish MD reply :

Jeff Kreit - He's just flat out the man.

Timmy Horton- Gotta have the biggest heart on tour.

jimmieO reply :

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.

whitwolf reply :

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.

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!!!!!

wagn reply :

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

ChazfromVA reply :

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

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.....

greg516 reply :

Ike and KVD for sure! Ike's personality is a breath of fresh air when watching the tournaments.

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.
