Literally impossible question to answer unless you’ve fished with 75-100 of them. 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.

Any list without John Tanner's name on it is incomplete. 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

Jimmy Everett? Now there is a name from the distant past. Fished with him twice. Wasn’t impressed.

Some guy named Addington...except he left the guiding business to sell funny water additives, maybe it was tea leaves or something.
