Don't you think the whole idea of a "greatest angler" is kind of silly
anyway? Kind of like asking "who was the greatest baseball player?".
Just a publicity stunt designed to stir up controversy. Also, I guess
you can only hope to be "greatest angler" if you fish for bass. But
that said, if your gonna have a short list Bill Dance should definitely
be on it.

I'ld have to kinda agree. Its a commercial gimmick to stir up some
interest. I haven't been all that interested in who is listed where on the
list as I have been in hearing people get into it and spout their opinion
about who should be where ont he list.

What is amazing to me is how long some people carry things with them. One
fellow I know thinks Roland Martin is a good fisherman, but shouldn't be on
the list at all because they met him once and didn't like him at all.

Amazing. Their opinion had very little to do with his fishing skills or
promotion of the sport. Just from a one time meeting at some event or
another.

Another funny opinion I have heard is that this or that younger (relatively)
angler should not be on the list, not because they aren't good, but because
they "Haven't paid their dues." LOL

Its pretty funny to listen to people discuss this subject not from the
results, but from the perspective of why they come to their conclusions.
