I recognize and acknowledge many of the names listed previously but one of the greats at fishing and one of the greats at helping was Billy Dyson and his wife. Great addition and very true.

Dicky Newberry could probably fill a warehouse with all the boats he's won. Charlie Harlason is probably the best guide I ever fished with. I think his dad my be a better tournament fisherman though. I would also put Terry Oldham on that list especially on South Texas lakes.

Board Pro,
Thank for the mention, but I am WAY past my prime. I live in a ocean of land and very little fishing spots, but I DO get lucky nearly everytime I go. Not al the time, buyt I can catch fish if the money is on the line, or used to could. I was getting back into it wi the BASS Opens, but they had to change the schedule due to the Covid 19 virus. Thanks for the mention, but I no longer deserve to be on that list. Maybe in th future, but not now. THANKS AGAIN!!!!!!!! Respectfully,
Tight lines, keep safe and good luck.
Thad Rains

David Wharton would have to be on the list. He won like $700,000+ dominating Anglers Choice back in the 80's and 90's all over the state of Texas, not just Rayburn. He also had a very successful BASS Tour career.

Don’t forget Todd Faircloth. Won a bunch of boats on Rayburn before turning pro.

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.
