Of all the discussion about "Best Angler " on other threads, if you had an opportunity to fish with any of them for a day, who would you choose AND WHY???

I would like to spend a day with Bill Dance...Why?  Good ol' Boy and a lot of years of experience.  Would be an enjoyable outing!  How about you?

Bill Dance, I would love to fish those ponds he fishes with all those hawgs.  Other than that, I would love to fsh with KVD on my home lake and see what he can find that I can't ................or vice versa. ;D

David Fritts.

I'd like to see how he locates and fishes deep structure,boat positioning on the structure and presentation.

Hank Parker cuz he's laid back.

Rick clunn He is so knowlegable and he fishes with such precision.

Gerald Swindle, he is just a crazy character and I believe it would be loads of fun to fish with him.

KVD teach me how to use spinnerbaits

Skeet Reese because he is the man!!!

If I could fish with anyone, it would be George W. Bush.  I'd love the opportunity to push his azz in the water.

But if it had to be someone in the greatest angler debate, I would pick Denny cause everyone could use a little schoolin' and I am a dedicated jig fisherman and I'd like to be fine tuned by the best.

Ike. I have talked with him a few times in the last few years and he is always will to stop what he is doing. He ends up asking more questions than I do and I have learned allot from him.

Now I usually don't dog someone's opinion but when I started reading this post I was expecting there to be names like Fritts, KVD, Brauer and so on but Hank Parker made me stop for a second. See, I have tried to talk to him a few times. He just seemed to be an arrogant person and very difficult to talk to. It seemed like he had somewhere else to be but as long as he was talking about himself he would stay.

I don't think you're alone in your opinion. I've read other comments that indicate he's not exactly like the image projected on his TV show.

EIther Skeet Reese Or Aaron Martens because they are both western anglers, and know the waters on the west coast.

that's a tough one,  there's about 3 or 4 anglers I would like to spend the day with on the water,  but if I had only one choice it would have to be Kevin Vandam......

Bill Dance.  because he has the knowledge and experience and because he is bill dance!

That is a good question and a great post.

I would like to fish with VanDam.  Let me take that back.  I would just like to ride in the boat and watch.  The speed and precision of his casts, the amount of water he covers, and obviously the way/speed in which he put a pattern together.

Jimmy Houston cuz he seems like a ton of fun to fish with and he is very deadly with a spinnerbait and plastic worm

o ya.. and cuz he lives on his own private lake with tons of lunkers ;D

rowland martin   cause hes a great american fisherman he can fish anywhere        anywhere theres water you know he will be there

Iaconelli for sure. I'd learn a lot and hes a spaz too

For me it would be Gerald Swindle - this guy is a motor mouth and I love to hear him talk.  I would also like to fish with Rick Clunn, Larry Nixon or George Cochran.  Fishing with KVD would be so cool, but he and I fish differently and I would probably be worn out by the end of the day

VanDam, IMO he's the best angler on the circuit right now and I love his style of fishing.

I'd have to say Ike! the man is so passionate about bass fishing and has tons of knowledge,

plus he seems like he'd be a blast to fish with.

   

I would say Rick Clunn.

I can't belive Bill Dance, made the list.  If you've ever met him or dealt with off stage you might think differently.  If there is not money in it for him, he wants nothing to do with it.  But he is a VERY sharp business man.

ike all the way, the guy is so exciting to watch it would have to be more exciting to actually fish with him. not to mention he has a ton more information in his head about fishing than i could ever imagine having

It seems some of you have been fortunate enough to have met some of these guys, But I have only met one or two in a simple meet and greet. Simply basing my choice off what I see on TV since there's not much else to base it on. Every star has a bad day, and not every fan is a good one.

I never met anyone on the list...but from watching tv I would have to say Ike would be my first. It seems as though even if you were not catching any fish, you would still have fun. I think every sport needs a guy like him. He adds color  and he is also very passionate about fishing.
