OK - It's time for a Good Debate!
GL3Loomis
In my opinion, although Roland Martin has the best overall record and Denny
Brauer has won the most money, I personally believe Rick Clunn is truly the
best up to now. Why? Because Rick is a true angler that has always relied
on his own abilities, consistently day after day, year after year!
Bob Rickard
average person here and looking at the entire forest of life. My totally
unprovable answer is Bill Dance, because I think he may have cumulatively
won more from fishing success than anyone else so far. I honestly believe
that he is an exceptionally happy man, is muched liked and respected by most
everybody else, is doing what he loves and is superb at it. And could he
possibly win a major tournament today if he really wanted to give the
effort? You bet!

seems to have more fun fishing than the Hank Parker family. Hank certainly
has the ability. He has won many tournaments. But even though it's "TV", I
really believe from my own experiences that when they go down to the little
pond and fish for bream, they really are having lots of fun. My vote is for
Hank Parker, for all he's done, passing on his knowledge, and making it fun.

The best overall fishing angler has always been the one that has been able to
adapt day in and day out, both to fishing conditions and the fish. I would have
to say Rick is right there, but I believe that Keven Van Damn may be the most
versatile angler currently on any circut.

Rick is bad to the bone as well!!!
Bob Redding
the first fish I caught was in the Potomac. Wasn't fit to eat, but that was
(don't ask) a long time ago. Later, when my family moved to the Maryland
country, I fished creeks and even Pretty Boy Lake (wasn't legal).
I still have fond memories of some of the best days I have ever had (8-12
years old) on the water on Chesapeake Bay on a skip jack at summer camp.
We are due for a Mid-Atlanta Classic! If no one minds, may some of us soft
water anglers join you?

Tom Thompson at Canoe lake in Algonquin Park. One of a group of seven artists.
There was always a mystery about his death. He was an angler because he enjoyed
it and it put him intouch with the outdoors. This allowed him to do
impressionism art. There are pictures of him with stringers of fish (common
then). He wasn't in it to flog any wares. Have you heard of him?

is so totally focused and driven that no one can beat him if he really comes to
play. I do believe that Kevin VD will be there some day but not yet. I have
known him since he was about 14 and he just keeps getting better!

Mickey Mouse Rod & Reel and one of those Miller Beer crankbaits (shaped like
a can of beer), fishing in two feet of 90° gin clear water in August,
standing on one leg, with one hand tied behind my back, with a dozen kids
tugging and pulling at me to fix their rods. With you in a brand new bass
boat loaded with all the top-of-the-line equipment and two expert guides to
put you on the fish. So how could you ever think you come close to Rick or
KVD?

laughs. Who knows, we might learn a little something about each other and
RESPECT for each others talent. I think it would be a rewarding and very
positive experience. In fact I think this whole NG could gain some very
valuable insight from an "Outing Report" written by you about our fishing
experience together. I'm only 25 minutes away, so anytime would be ok with
me.

out classed. There's no way that I could ever be placed in the same category as
you when it comes to fishing. I'm mostly a recreational type compared to
someone who's a heavy hitter like you. I do hope that you didn't take any
offense to my little jab about siccin' Josh on you, it was just to easy to
pass up. It's like two coon hounds pissin up a bush, and each one's trying to
reach higher. All in fun of course.
GL3Loomis
have some fun on Orchard, Cass, Pontiac, Portage Chain, St. Clair, etc., I
would be more than willing to go out. If you ever want to fish one of the
local buddy tournaments, I'd partner with you. Who knows, we could turn
out to be a dynamic duo!
