Wow, you really do have fishing in the bloodline. Thats something special to have known so many pioneers in the sport.
actually i just seen a good choice i never thought about and add 1 more to that, Forrest Wood and Ray Scott. That would just be fun for the stories and history. I have to add 1 more to my list for a specific reason, if i was to fish with best of the best and try to learn as much as i could about fishing itself it would be hands down KVD, but i get a mental breakdown, i will go into a tourn focused and ready, and if i do well im talkative and happy, but if i do bad i will be close lipped and far away from everyone. Im not pouting, i just beat myself up at lil mistakes or what i should have or could have done different. Even if i get a 2nd, i look at what i did wrong. I still have fun fishing and always look forward to it, but i always have the high and a low instead of enjoying the complete experience. I think the 1 person i look up to for a new way to deal with it is Shaw Grigsby, a truly nice guy and seems to have the right mindset to smile and be sociably on a not so good day.
