Stange??? You've got to be kidding me...Lindner??? Maybe about 10 years ago...he is just a poster child for advertizers/christianity anymore...ICK! Theres a time and place for everything! Stange Joel???? OMG! I'm so surprised at you!
So #1 for me would be Jerry McGinnis and #2 would be Jose Wajebe the king of saltwater....he is just a cool a$$ dude man.....I'd just love to hang out with him and drink some good wine, eat some good seafood and BS about fishing!
I guess I should address a good muskie related fisherman...None of the ones I see on TV impress me really...Nor any of those guys in search of fame...Pete Maina or Spence Petros would probably be fun to fish with since they seem down to earth, but my first pick would probably be Ed Latiano. Ed died a few years back and lived in my local neighborhood...Hell of a fisherman and hell of a lure maker. I did get to know Ed, but never really got to fish with him since he was too old by the time I picked up the sport heavy 20 some years ago. He was certainly one innovative character for sure....I miss Ed.
Those are my choices...
