aaron martens hands down for me.  he may not win as much as a lot of guys but he is consistently near the top and seems to be duking it out for angler of the year every year.  i also like ish monroe.  i like the guys like martens and monroe who are outside of the stereotypical good ole boy anglers.  actually i like good ole boys too, but still like guys that dont fit the mold (except ike i just cant get into that act that im convinced hes putting on nowadays)
