[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON Mar-27-06 AT 05:40PM (EST)[/font][p]Non-Pro's would have to be my dad and my gradfather. Both were very instrumental in developing me as a fisherman and getting me into the outdoors. Both of them always made time to take me fishing and supported my habit with buying me what I needed to enjoy the outdoors. Both of them knew a lot about fishing and helped me learn. They were always there when I had a question and very supportive. To both of them I owe a great deal.

Pro's would have to the ones that I have met personally and they left me with a very positive impression. (1) Met Hank Parker several years ago fishing a tournament where he was one of the hosts for the weigh-in. I met him the day before on my flight to the tournament. Very down to earth and friendly not to mention being a good fisherman. Also, he impressed me by remembering my name the next time I saw him and introducing me to his friends. Class act! (2) Drew Shaw Grigsby in the 2005 BASS Pro Tour Event on Lake Guntersville as a non-boater. Another great guy and class act. The remaining list goes something like this (3)Joe Thomas (4) Edwin Evers (5)Gerald Swindle (6)David Walker.
