Todays Fishing Media Personalities

[LoonASea]

Looking for others opinions here,,,with the assortment of fishing shows on TV theses days ,,,If You had the opportunity to fish with one of them,, who would be on the top and bottom of the list and why?

Al Linder, Dan Sura and Kent Hrbeck would be on the top for me as I think I would learn something ,,with John G and Babe W on the lower end I think I would come away with some thing but our personalities wouldn't mesh.

I dont fish for bass but I would how ever like to view Bill Dance (from a distance) just to watch for a blooper

So who would You fish with??????

I would absolutely love to go out with Al, James, or Ron Linder, and Dan Sura! I would do my best to make my brain a sponge and soak up all I could. I have a similar opinion about some of the southern boys and their bass fishing. I enjoy watching Bill Dance and Jimmy Houston and a few others, but largemout fishing isn't really my forte. I enjoy fishing bass, but I don't give it the cult-like attention the good ol' boys down south do. We're in the walleye cult up in these parts!

I also agree that there would be not as much to gain from going out with some of the other media anglers. But, as far as I'm concerned, I would consider it to be quite a privilage to be able to go out fishing with any of the Linder's Media anglers. For sure.

Top- KVD(he was on classic petterns and another show) or then Bill Dance(he'll put me on the lunkers) and The show with the 1 0n 1 tournament is cool also

Bottum- Charlie moore(themost annoying personi have ever seen)

[hanson]

Thats a tough question...

- The Lindners are going to be a pretty popular answer and who could turn down a day fishing with any of them.

- The In-Fish guys Doug Stange & Steve Hoffman would be great in the boat as well. They also are avid catfisherman so I think we could have a good time.

- Bill Dance is a blue cat guy too.

[Rivernut]

Any of the Angling Edge staff, the Lindners or Dan Sura. That would be my complete list.

[Muskycrazy]

I hate to sound repetative or unoriginal but Al Linder & Dan Sura for sure . These guys are great for fishing .

[DancesWithWaves]

Can't beat the lindners--GOD is in their boat

[traveler]

i'll take all the help I can get!

[harvey lee]

After thinking for a bit, I would go with any but might choose Doug Stange.

[eyepatrol]

The 3 Lindners are at the top of my list with Al being first.

Babe is at the bottom. John G is close down there too. He's just too loud for me.

[croixeyes]

It would be Doug Stange for me,he seems to be very down to Earth.Ive always loved reading his columns.

[slotlimit]

Definately Tred Barta then Charlie Moore. These guys look like tons of fun. Last Al Linder and Virgil Ward.

[smg04]

#1. would be Al Lindner no question, whats everybodys beef with Babe Winkelmen? i guess he can sound a little cocky at times but seems to share alot of good info, Jon Gillespie would be alright if u had an extra long fuse and a good pair of earplugs with, other wise u could just spike one of his lienie's with a few ritalin

[PierBridge]

Gary Roach and Ron Seelhoff that would something!!!!

[moderation]

Without a doubt it would be Kent Hrbek. I don’t often watch fishing programs but I listen to him every Friday on the radio, he has got a great personality, likes a few brews, laughs a lot and would be like you’re best fishing partner. On the bottom would be the Linders, I just don’t care for the pompous guys.

[icehousebob]

For me it would be Kent Hrbek and Tony Dean. They both seem like likable guys and Tony could drive the boat while Kent and I worked on a couple cases of beer.

[DTro]

I would have to say Larry Dahlberg, just because I know there is a good chance that the fish we're after could very well pull me into the water if I wasn't careful.

[Jim Almquist]

If it was only walleye fishing it would have to be Gary Roach. My dream day would be to pheasant hunt with Kent Hrbek and Tony Dean some where in South Dakota in the morning and then hit a spot on the Missouri for walleyes in the afternoon.

[dakotakid31]

Tony Dean, Hrby, Jim Saric

Aweeee come on Northlander ,,I did say "learn something" ,,,I wasnt specific that it had to be about fishing,,the idea was an enjoyable day fishing ,,Last season when we fished I didnt always learn some thing but I enjoyed it none the less ,,,simply put ,,if the fish dont want to bite ,,I would prefer some one to have a civil conversation with in the boat

[eyehead]

Al Linder, Pete Maina, or Joe Bucher

[gilby]

BOB jensen, I always thaught he seemed pretty down to earth.

[PerchJerker]

Keith Kavajecz and Gary Parsons, it'd be a challenge to name an individual that did more to advance the frontiers of modern walleye fishing tactics more than these two guys.

Another good one would be Babe. I say that because he was at a resort filming a show while we were there. Every evening he came down to the deck overlooking the docks where the guests hang out at the end of the day to have cocktails and shoot the b.s. Babe was friendly and personable, has some great stories, and tells them really well (I'm sure that holds true for a lot of these guys, but I can vouch for Babe's storytelling).

[Newguy06]

Last on my list would have to be Roland Martin. I think all he would teach me is how to push a sponser.

[Scott M]

Bill Dance would probably hook me, knock me overboard, or drop a rattlesnack out of a tree on me so for klutziness I would avoid him. I would also avoid one certain media darling from this state. I think he's a sponsor or something here, maybe visits regularly, but he's snubbed one family member and two friends. Maybe he was having multiple bad days (or the hot weather got to him at the Game Fair), but when you're on that media pedestal, you have to play nice. I won't name names but you could probably guess without any more hints.

But getting back to being positive, how about Linders of course, Tred Barta would be fun, Pete Maina too, Hrby for stories and just hangin out, and Chip Leer for MN cred and excellent multi-species skills.

[Scott26]

I for one would take Dave Genz out any day, open water and on the ice. To be honest he should have a TV show all year round.

I for one have met just much all of them...it would be fun fishing with Shara and Herby....Gary Roach is a very nice guy too.

Linders and Takasaki....I do agree they know more about fishing then I could ever dream about but their personal interaction is less to be desired. (enter puke smiley here)

I always pictured Babe as more of a hunter then a fisherman.

[Snake River King]

Kent Hrbeck all the way he's the man I watch him every Sunday Night and think he would be cool to fish with, He's a real down to earth person you could fish with and have a few beers with afterwards. Last on my list is Rolan Martin If I didnt have the same tackle or rods as him he would try to sell me on a different brand.
