NateFollmer Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 Outdoor Life compiled their list of the 20 Best Anglers on the Planet. The list is filled with a very diverse angling background that covers many different styles and many different targeted species. Check it out: http://www.outdoorlife.com/photos/gallery/fishing/saltwater/inshore/2011/05/meet-20-best-anglers-planet Pete Maina just so happens to be #4 on the list!

bow slayer Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 21. Bowslayer In all honesty most of these guys fish for one type of fish. I think the angler who can be diversified and be very successful at many types of fish would be a better angler IMHO.Wow and what a surprise no canadians on the list ,with more fresh water than anyone else i am sure we have a few who know how to and are pretty good,and with our multi species and 4 seasons would be very diversified.

sconceptor Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 I would think Dr. Ball should be on that list for obvious reasons...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimace Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 I had no idea that Parsons was a dentist for 15 years. I really like him and Kavajecz. I was surprised Al Lindner was left off the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishindevil Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 i agree it should be alot more diversified, but only a few of them fish in all different seasons,like parsons,mania,and 2 others...and yes al lindner should have been there for sure, cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lew Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 Pete Maina just so happens to be #4 on the list! I find it kinda strange that every post you've made since joining this board has been about Pete Maina. But maybe that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiel Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 The best fisherman I've ever known have purposely/intentionally shunned the limelight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Bailey Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 The best fisherman I've ever known have purposely/intentionally shunned the limelight. That's why I declined... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave524 Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 Freshwater, multi species , my vote would go to Al Linder Now if I had the opportunity to share a river or a boat with a well known angler, being mostly a steelhead/salmon angler, my choice would be April Vokey sorry Buzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lip-ripper Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 lol, Give me a break, Pro Bass fishermen? I'm sure they are good at catching bass (the easiest fish to catch IMO)... I bet they would be lost if I took them out to a couple of my secret brookie spots. They probably couldn't even handle the blackflies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timmeh Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 Where's the guy from River Monsters? Maybe he's just the craziest angler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muskymike Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 Thanks for the bump Terry. This post is amazing on so many levels. I am going to compile my own list of the 20 best. Who wants to be on it? I have as much credibility putting this list together as the person who wrote this article. How can someone say these are the best anglers on the planet? Amusing to say the least. Thanks for this link. I needed a good laugh today!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigugli Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 (edited) Can't be a legit list. No Red Fisher!!! Secondly, the Lindners will be excluded because of their religious enthusiasm. That and a few less than amicable parting of the ways. Edited May 27, 2011 by bigugli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
