I have several. KVD, Alton Jones, Jason Quinn, Hackney, Dean Rojas, G man, Kenyon Hill.

I see Aaron Martins did not make the list yet. He would be at the bottom of mine. He can fish, no doubt, but he also whines and cries about something all the time.


BTW I think Pake will get there in less than 20 years.

Bill Dance!

old school- Jimmy Houston, spent some time fishing with him when I was a kid and hooked me on a lifetime of spinnerbait fishing. I have to add Lonnie Stanley, spent an hour of so at the Skeeter tourney visiting with him and his wife, great guy.
out of current guys - Alton Jones, KJ and Lance Vick

Jeff Kriet and Gerald Swindle are my two favorite

anyone except loudmouth's IKE and G'MAN

Don't know any of the more current ones but of the ones I've met and talked to would be Woo Daves, Tommy Martin, and Jimmy Houston. All were nice to talk to, helpful, and were 'real people'.

Denny Brauer one the best.

Any of the ones that yell and scream are towards the bottom for me.

kriet Kendrick ronnie manning Haha and cameron

Kriet. He is a good guy and a very good fisherman. Wish he could have won the Classic a couple of years ago...if you were to lose though, might as well be to KVD.

I'd like to fish with Edwin Evers, Gerald Swindle and Greg Hackney...you'd have some fun I'll bet and learn a ton.

Since Edwin is from Oklahoma I've got to root for him to do good..:) Plus I know he's got some access to some good fishing ponds around his home town I'll bet.

My favorite; here we go old school again, Guido Hibdon, was one of the fisrt guys on the BASS circuit to bring finesse fishing to the fore front. That's where I developed my style of fishing. I never met him but once but I read everything he ever wrote or was written about him that I could get my hands on. The man knew how to put them in the boat. I have other favorites too. Jimmy Houston of course, he helped me out a lot too though he never knew it. Shaw Grigsby, Ron Schefield, Rick Clunn, Paul Elias, Denny Brauer, George Cochran, Hank Parker, David Fritz (studied his deep cranking techniques heavily), and just because he was the first from the Federation, Bryan Kerchal.....

That is one priceless picture...
...anyone know who took that pic?

I would have to say my favorite of right now is Craig Schuff. Could be because he is family and is always willing to share knowledge and a good laugh. Nah, he's really a great guy.

I have never had any bad experiences with any of the touring pros. They are all great and very nice. Lets see, Mark Davis, George Cochran, Larry Nixson, Jason Quinn, Melinda Mize Hooper, and the list could go on. Just some of the guys I have interacted with. All really great people!

Mine is Alton Jones! Fellow Texan,great fisherman and a super good man!
