Who would you fish with??

[elnutsmalljaws]

I also would love to follow Doug Strange around for a year. In-Fisherman Critical Concepts shows this man catching everything that swims from Muskie, Northern Pike, Walleye, Stripers, Smallies, Bucketmouths from Ice Fishing to Texas and everywhere in between I think. He did a show on the Cumberland River with Fred McClintock that makes me want to try the river for some 40 pound Striper action but not knowing the river is my drawback and I sure don't need any other problems right now. He also uses a Deep V boat similar to mine but his is the top of the line and mine is not, but he is a Deep V'r and I like that.

elnut, We seem to have alot in common, I also missed most of last year fishing due to a lung infection that I'm still fighting.
I also think it would be cool to hook up with Doug Stange and crew of in-fisherman for whatever swim's. A trip with Larry Dahlberg hunting big exotic fish would be neat also.
As far as my favorite fishing partner goe's that would be my son "Lowerider" the boy is ate-up with the fishin bug I wonder where that came from?
Oh! I also own one of those "Tin" deep V boats that you can come along in anytime you're around Cumberland, Lund 2025 ProVle.

Several people ran through my mind when I first read the question. I started with hotties like Jessica Simpson or the chick at the Sonic drive thru (trust me).

Then I thought, I bet ole Hank Jr would be cool. He likes to fish and have a good time...but I might end up in jail somehow.

Doug Stange was the first TV fisherman I thought of...he sure can put some monsters in the boat and many different species.

KVD would be my pro pick, I'd like to get him on Dale sometime. I think Mike Ike might get a little wet with the first fish he caught with me. Charlie Moore would be wet before he caught a thing.

My final answer is: An Undercover Game Warden.

Then bring on all the inconsiderate people I normally see when I fish. I could keep them busy all day, from the boat ramp to the backs of the creeks.

Maybe they could raffle off "A day on the lake with a Game Warden", I think it would raise them a lot of money. I would buy the first hundred chances.

I am with you RayP on the Charlie Moore idea of him getting wet before he caught a thing. I think they should rename his show to "Beat the Hell out of Charlie Moore" instead of "Beat Charlie Moore". I have 2 real nice FNF rods that would fit real nice around his behind, the G Loomis for the more switching whipping and the All Pro for the 2x4 bringing the Lumber whippings. Charlie ranks below Ike on my list and even my ex-wife is just above those two on the same list. Sad to say I would rather spend the day in the boat with my ex versus Charlie or Ike. To be honest, I would have to drown myself if any of the 3 stepped into my boat, just to get away from the experience.

He is the most obnoxious yankee to ever breath air.

What a great thread. It has brought back memories for me. I would love to fish with my all time favorite fishing buddy again. It would be me brother who killed himself back in 79. We loved to wade streams for smallmouth together. I still wade them but now it's with my 9 yr old son. My second choice would be my partner at Smack Tackle. Todd has been my best friend for 17 yrs or so and has filled the void in my life left by my brothers death. He loves to fish for all kinds of fish and is just about as goofy as I am when it comes to fishing. As far as famous people, I have to go with Al Lindner first. Here is a guy who started a couple of companies and made them go. I would love to talk with him about how he did it. He is a fisherman that loves to catch fish, any fish. He gets excited even if it is a drum or a red horse sucker. I watched him catch a carp below the dam at Cumberland and I could hear the laughing from shore as the other two guys were catching hawg stripers. He came over and talked with us even though they were in the middle of filming a show. My second choice would be KVD. He is a great guy and a great, if not the greatest, bass fisherman to jack a jaw. He loves those smallies and knows how to catch um up north. If I could fit another guy in the boat it would have to be Larry Dahlberg. I would love to catch some of those monsters around the world. Can you imagine the enthusiasm there would be in that boat with Larry, Al, and KVD? WOW!

Stacey King. I don't know much about the guy, only seen him on TV twice, but he seems like a pretty laid back kinda good ol' boy, someone who'd be fun to fish with. Plus he seems to specialize in jig fishing, which I'm currently concentrating on. Yes, KVD rules, but that run-and-gun fishing just isn't my style.

How come nobody wants to fish with Roland Martin. He could furnish all the baits and tackle! Aren't you about out of helicopter lures? LOL

I'm sure he'd be fun to fish with, but I think his show is boring as hell.

Son, Son, big 5, 6, 7- 8, maybe 9 lb bass, SON. He's the only guy I've ever seen that could make a bass grow three pounds just by reeling it in, LOL.

[thebassman30]

No doubt. What about that air pump shotgun rod? lol

[fishin350]

My dad and my uncle don we have had some great trips. Pro KVD and Steve Kennedy both great guys who can catch them biguns.
