Bill Dance - educational and entertaining, can go to either extreme at times.

Eddie

Kevin Van Dam is a definite and gerald swindle is a riot, i feel thats his personality and real life without the cameras as well

1. Jimmy Houston, 2. Hank Parker.  

I know there are other, more successful anglers out there, but I just like these two guys.  They seem like good all-around classy guys, IMO.

My favorite bass pro's...

In this order each have taught me over the years..

Hank Parker..#1

Denny Brauer ..#2

Rick Clunn..#3

Shaw Grigsby..#4

Tight Lines!!!

Mike Iaconelli, Greg Hackney, KVD, and Bill Dance

Bink Desaro, Aarron Martins, and Peter T.

KVD and Brauer

ike,kvd,Brauer and hackney

KVD all the way.  He fishes the same way I like to: spinnerbait as the #1 option most of the time.  I like IKE too.  I have a lot of respect for all of the pros, FLW or BASS, just because of making it to where they are.

Denny Brauer-his mastery of jig fishing is awesome.

Rick Clunn-the spiritual aspect he applies to his craft is inspiring.

Kevin VanDam-fishes faster than anyone I've ever seen.

KVD i met him 3 or 4 years ago at a fishing show it was funny bc i was looking to get a good baitcaster but couldnt find one but then i saw Vandam walk by with three quantem energys in his hand didnt even relize it was him i just wanted to know where the booth was that he bought those at was so i asked he was real cool he told me he brought them from home then i forgot all about the reels bc i relize that was Vandam so me and my friends talked to him and took pictures he gave us tickets to come back the next day it was awesome he was so down to earth and actually sincerly cared about our questions his seminar was cool after he was casting hookless spinnerbaits and landing them right on peoples hats it was impressive.

          Bass-finder seems to think Stacey King is a joke.......  I don't ever remember seeing Bass finders name while flipping the pages of a BPS calalog. Never say someone is a joke, no one is.

          Was that my .02 ?  

Denny Brauer , Aaron Martens and Jay Yelas.

luke clausen. won the FLW and BASS championships and he's from my home state of washington.

I have to 2nd Luke Clausen, also homestate hero. Stupid thing though is that most of WA State didnt even care that he won the classic, let alone know about it.

1-5

1# Joe Thomas- LOVE his TV Show and his marketing, plus his books

2#Luke Clausen- Homestate Hero

3# Denny Brauer- Good Ole Denny

4# Al Linder- Master Teacher

5# Aaron Martens/Ike/Swindle/Clunn- The best at what they do

Im surprised no one has mentioned John Fox. My cousin and i used to always talk about becoming like him when we were about 8. I'd also say Bill Dance and Jimmy Houston.

Jay Yelas, Greg Hackney, and Andy Morgan
