I was sitting recently thinking about several individuals that post on this wonderful discussion forum, (thanks Rodney); and of all who post, who would I most like to spend a day on the water with.
There are those senior members with thousands of post whom surely harbour a vast wealth of knowledge and experience yet come across as arrogant know it alls. We might surely catch, but not my idea of great company. (I'd rather get skunked with someone like Hook, [prolly a rarity and I'd accept full responsibility for being his jinx!] than release a dozen with a few of the others that I've seen post here.
There are others with few posts but obvious knowledge and helpful demeanor that I bet would be a pleasure to be cooped up with in the confines of a small boat or ice fishing hut, or chatting in a car while traveling hours getting to one of their favourite fishing holes.
Or perhaps go off the board. In this era of maybe an over-abundance of fishing shows, perhaps one of those celebrity guides/show hosts. (personally, Gary Cooper would be just about last on my Bait Bucket List. But to each his own!)
Personally, hangin' out at the 'Scuttle Butt Lodge' with Red Fisher (I wonder if it was his real name?) would be pretty cool. Or how about matching the hatch with Roderick Haig-Brown and looking over his shoulder as he ties?
Anybody, anywhere. How about monster Tuna or Sailfish? Tarpon in the flats on a fly rod?
I should think for me, somewhere up an Indonesian flow with Ian Forbes and the shore lunch that he seems to travel with would be very close to the top of my Bait Bucket List.
What would your list look like?
P.S. I forgot to check if a thread like this already exist so go ahead and whack my pee pee if one does.
