So, I was discussing with my wife about my 1 year old son and the possibility that he has of making it rich fishing, or at least being a famous fisherman… I tried to reinforce just how many hours I would HAVE to spend on the water with him…
Anyway, what are the members of this board’s thoughts (opinions) on the best bass fisherman from/in the area now and in the past? Also, best fisherman in the country now and in the past?
My national favorites are: Bill Dance (Hey, don’t laugh, I like his show, his 70’s mesh Tennessee hat, and his outdated 80’s clothing, and fish catching ability is entertaining…), Kevin VanDam (a fast-fisherman who loves Spinnerbaits – a man after my own heart), and Mike Iconelli (yeah, I was an immdediate fan watching his arrogant and loud-spoken style…) .
Around here, I really only know of Monsoor – I enjoyed the ESPN2 coverage that included his tourney success last year, and Champman… although, I have to say that I have developed quite a bit of respect for many of those posting on this board!
Anyway, just interested in your thoughts…
