I wrote a message to Jersey Dan once, he wanted $750 for an answer plus a $200 tip for disrespect. Is he still at Falcon?

nope, never got that bored and I don't worship them. If you want to learn something from the pros ask your dad or grandfather if you have one.

 Im sorry, but after reading Red Ranger's responses, and seeing Cameron's signature, I just spit my coffee every where!

I am not sure this counts but I wrote Bassmaster when I was stationed in Korea just south of the DMZ(Army) asking to PLEASE get their show on AFKN (Armed Forces Korea Network)so I could watch.
Bob Cobb (remember him?) wrote me a 2 page handwritten note thanking me for serving and just shooting the sh**. Along with the note he sent about 10 episodes on VHS cassette as well.....pretty damn cool for him to take the time to do that. I wore those casettes out.

RangerCrawford Yes, I knew Bob Cobb. I was in the TV Production and Post Production back in Las Colinas (Irving) in the late 80's. He would do the production and post production work on BASSMASTER TV show each week at Tele-Image Productions in the Studios @ Las Colinas. He was a work alcholol and would rent the Post PRoduction room for 24 hours at a time each week. He was a true Ambassador for Bass Fishing

Many years ago, before the internet, I called Larry Nixon and his wife answered the phone. She called Larry to the phone and he talked with me for 30 mins about getting started as a tournament fisherman. He was very nice and I've always respected him for that time he took for a stranger. As it good as it gets right there.

I send all my questions to the Pro-Staffer on You tube. He answer's in a video. lol, jk One way to ask the pro Q's quickly is watch go to www.basstalklive.com at 1:00 everday (almost), and you can ask questions on the instant feed back, pretty cool Some pros will also respond on facebook. The older ones like Brauer and Zell, will more likely respond to letters. but again, a direct question on basstalklive is awesome.
