Guido Hibdon.       I dont know what amazes me more, all the votes for Roland Martin or that anyone would list Ike !!

Is this a joke?

I mean Roland Martin AOY how many times?

And Ike.  I can understand that his personality can turn people off, but I can't help but admire the way he bounced back from all the controversy by shutting his mouth and winning AOY.  That showed me he has the true grit of a champion.

I actually came back to the post to state that my post should have read.

Ike is my current favorite

Rick Clunn is my all time Favorite

Ray Scott himself was asked who he regarded as the most remarkable tourny pro.

Ray answered "Roland Martin", saying that you could drop that man off with a helicopter

in the middle of nowhere and Roland would find bass.

And Ike. I can understand that his personality can turn people off, but I can't help but admire the way he bounced back from all the controversy by shutting his mouth and winning AOY.

I too was turned off by Ike's antics, but listen to Ike when he speaks, he's a very glib and intelligent young man.

There were people who never watched fishing on television who would tune-in just to see some eccentric named "Ike".

In the final analysis, Iaconelli adds color to our sport and is good for the sport of fishing.

Remember what Cassius Clay did for boxing?  Remember what Bobby Fischer did for chess?

Roger

"G" - He is a friend of mine

Hardware - The NICEST guy I 've ever fished with!

Stone Pony - Another GREAT guy!

Ike - No matter what, he can flat out put 'em in the box!

KVD - Will go down as THE greatest of all time.

Mike Reynolds - One of the nicest guys out there!

cat you got number one right. i was at the leesburg weighin,and watched the guys leave the stage and pass tim tucker(bass). most had very little they would reveal.  tommy martin was there about 15- 20mins talking about fishing,and the tournament.  larry nixon was same way. if you want to learn fishing get larry or tommys dvds. they are both like e.f. hutton and you need to listen.

Ike

Ish

Swindle

David Hall.   The greatest jigging spoon angler I know.  Also, the most helpful and nicest guy you would ever meet.  

I love Ike and Roland

KVD- Michael Jordan of bassin'

Rick Clunn- Dr J of bassin'

Ike- Dennis Rodman/cant stanim'

Roland Martin was great before he turned into the walking infomercial.

My favorites are Al Linder, Shaw,Bill,Mike,stacey,Roland,Nixon,Larry,Bernie,David, the list goes on. The only thing that i dont like is our favorite pros,advertising too much on infomercial lures like booyah spinnerbaits.

Ike, then KVD, and Preston Clark (the guy seems so likeable).

The first person I ever followed was Rick Clunn, and I'm still a fan.

I had the opportunity to meet and spend about an hour with Bill Dance. Nicest. Guy. Ever.

Alot of people dont like Ike...he is the best out there right now. AOY...period! That award is given to the "best" of the year. Besides he has brought so many people to our sport in the last couple years. Not to mention he won an ESPY.
