There are and have been so many world-class bass guides at Fork from 1984 until today. In the order I fished with them over that period; Ronnie Byrd Mark Pack Kelly Jordon Lance Vick Lee Livesay p.s. - not saying these men above are/were the best 5.

I fished with him many times and he is now a "fisher of men", surrendering his life for a higher calling. You are correct. John Tanner was the man, and top of being a great guide, he is an even better human. Miss fishing with him. I will always remember the first bass I hooked with him, My Dad always taught me to set the hook, and I mean set it. So, my whole life I have always swung on em when I get bit. We were dead sticking flukes in the shallows and I set the hook, he just looked at me and smiled and said "I like you, I don't have to tell you to set the hook" LOL

Both of these guys influenced and taught me more about fishing out there over the years til they passed. Both of them would give you the shirt off their back. Miss them daily.
