I would say the best tournament anglers in Texas are the ones that have won BASS AOY's. Winning a Classic is epic but that is one event. The guys that have done it on the Elite Tour for years will tell you that their respect goes to the man that wins AOY. I know Clunn & Nixon no longer live in TX but thats where they came from.
Rick Clunn
Gary Klein
Larry Nixon
Jay Yelas
There are lots of great anglers from TX but you asked for the Best. IMO these are them. Jay yelas is from like Idaho or something

What about Larry Nixon, Tommy Martin, Harold Allen and Rick Clunn. These were the old school guys that dominated back in the day before GPS, SI, DI and other advanced fish finder technology. These guys used flashers and paper graphs plus ran with compasses To add a couple from my opinion...Zell Rowland, Randy Dearman

Don’t forget Todd Faircloth. Won a bunch of boats on Rayburn before turning pro. Was going to mention him as well. He’s a hammer for sure

Harold Allen hasn't even been mentioned. Whole debate is not valid.
Dudes fished 15 classics

Dudes fished 15 classics He's a legend for sure. It really depends on if we talking guys that are from Texas or did their winning in Texas. Many guys live here but fish at a higher level out of state mostly. I interpreted the question as what guys are best in the state as in Texas events.

As far as a non tour guy I'd buy Spike Stoker in a Calcutta all day every day on damn near any lake in the state.

Off topic. Donald Harper is a good contributor to the board. Does he push his products? Yeah?. None the less. Make a list of useful people on this board and he’s up there.. doesn’t deserve the smart [censored] remarks.

Wendell Ramsey should be on the list. As a multiple Bass Champs winner, as well as the Championship. His getting a check average is probably 80% or higher. The guy has fished everything from Angels Choice, Opens, Everstarts, Bass Champs, and anywhere else he could take our money.

He definitely has some skills when it comes to bass fishing.

At least on a club level here in Texas my old buddy Robert Hargrove was about the best there was with 11 Century Bass Club Angler of the Year titles.
I sure miss you buddy but still think of you all the time when I am out fishing.
