Who Would You Want In The Boat?

Featured Replies

My grandfather, easy. He was into bass fishing before it was much of a thing. I remember he had this Terry bass boat that was the state of the art when he got it. Foot-control trolling motor, sonar flasher (nobody had those back then), and a genuine livewell under the center bench complete with "electrical" water pump. He even beta-tested some Smithwick lures for the company. I still have a few of them. I can see why they never went into production. I would like to take him out on a new, fully-rigged boat, just to show him the gadgets. 360 sonar, digital imaging, 4-stroke motors, GPS, LED lighting, trolling motors, even the materials used to build the boat would blow his mind. That's before we even get to what's in the tackle box, or start using baitcasters that rarely backlash, and weigh less than 2 pounds, or fish with a spinning rod with 20# line. That would be a fun day.

    Don't waist your time, make it a point to do so !! Good luck, I know how stubborn fathers can be lol ! A trip with the boys I think will help him say yes, let us know how it works out, sounds as if

jesus, he could help me get over 100000 bass a day

He'd probably tell you to fish on the other side of the boat!

No doubt I would fish with my Grandpa. He always dropped what he was doing to take me fishing. I'd love to have a 100 fish day with him in my boat. I can still hear him yelling "oh ho ho I got one!!". He sounded like Santa Claus setting the hook!

Others would be Hank Parker and Shaw Grigsby.

Oh, and of course Steve "Big O" Parks on Lake Falcon, Choke Canyon, or Amistad.

Pro: Edwin Evers.

Non pro: Kevin hart. That dude makes me laugh til i cry.

I'm with you, Scrutch, on the Big O choice. Steve's one of the greatest guys I know, and a great friend, however we have never fished together. All that comes to an end this November, when I am going down to fish with him for 5 days on Falcon. Good times!

Don't waist your time, make it a point to do so !!

Good luck, I know how stubborn fathers can be lol !

A trip with the boys I think will help him say yes, let us know how it works out, sounds as if it would be a great day wether you catch fish or not.

Absolutely! Get him out there. I wish I could fish again with my father. I know he'd love how much I've progressed and I just believe in my heart that he and my husband would have spent many days out fishing.

To fish with someone living, (besides my husband) I would pick Shaw Grigsby

I lost my father some years back without having the chance to spend time on the boat with him, I still feel his presance though from time to time.

So yes it would be my dad.

If I had to choose someone from the forum there are so many to name, for the shear knowlage of structure it would be catt.

For a chance at big double digit bass, Big-O

For what I would call the best time ever, 2 names come to mind, long mike and ghoti, those guys crack me up, I can only imagine how much fun it would be.

For the chance to get to know someone that has to be RW, just a great all around kind of guy with a boat load of...tackle

For the love of it, anyone on this forum, I wish we all had the chance to fish with one another.

Denny Brauer. Best shallow fisherman around

My grandfather.

Kaley Cuoco : )...but seriously my father and he didn't fish.

Mike

Staff Sergeant Omar Aceves, best team leader ive ever had, if it wasnt for him i wouldnt be the soldier i am today. He died in Afghnaistan due to an IED, im not sure if he liked fishin but i would give anything to have him alive today and fishin with his soldiers.

Without a doubt... my dad. He was the first one that took me bass fishing & was with me when I caught my first LM.

I'm going to find out. I just was confirmed as a marshal for the "mystery lake" in Green Bay. I'll take any of them. Got a 2/99 chance of KVD,Clunn.etc. I'm pumped

my grandfather who passed away when i was 3.

I'm incredibly fortunate and get to fish with my dad just about every Friday (I work 4 x 10's and he's semi-retired), so I'd have to go the celeb route with Hank Parker and Ike as a close second.

Family aside I would say Virgil Ward. I use to watch him on TV when I was little.

Outside of my kids and dad, Pro either Hank Parker or KVD. Otherwise Catt, Kent or Big O.

Family would be my great uncle that passed away last year. He was out crappie fishing and had a heart attack in the boat. Taught me so much over the years about Duck/Goose/Deer hunting as well as fishing.

For people I dont know it would be hands down Hank Parker, Bill Dance or Al Lindner. I watched these three guys shows without fail all the time when I was younger and would jump at the chance to be able to go out and fish for a day with any of them.
