Yeah I have always liked Larry Nixon, Hackattack, and Denny Brauer

1. KVD (mostly since his home town is 20 minutes away from mine and i visit his fathers store regularly)

2. Rick Clunn

3. Larry Nixon

It's Kevin's brother, Randy, that owns D and R Sports. Don't know, maybe his dad used to.

I think that D and R Sports was started by Randy.  I will ask him when I see him next month.  Have to start getting my stuff ready for the coming season.  But if I don't see him then, I will catch up to him on his Open house.

Here are MY FAV"S

1. KVD, not just cause he is good, but he is very easy to talk to and very informative.

2. Shaw Grigsby, cause he is funny with his stories and full of excitement.

3. Denny Brauer, one of the best instuctors I have been honored to sit in with.

I do have more for the list, but these are my top 3.   Ike, would also make it for his raw energy that he shows off every time he catches a BIG one :o

My vote for the current best Pros:

> Kevin VanDam

> Mike Iaconelli

> Jay Yelas

My vote for all-time best Pros:

> Bill Dance

> Tied: Roland Martin / Rick Clunn

> Larry Nixon

Bill Dance had the best batting average (based on percentile placement) of any pro bass angler.

Though few have heard of him, Bobby Murray had a better batting average than Roland Martin

and Rick Clunn, but only participated in 66 pro tournaments

1)  KVD

2)  Hank

3)  Ike

Honorable Mention - Brauer, Martens, & Clunn.  This really is a tough one.  I like my top three, super tough competitors and proven winners.  The HM are jsut fellows I have heard speak and really enjoyed what and how I learned.
