If you could pick one person?

If you could pick one person to spend an entire day fishing with, other then a family member, who would it be, and why?
For me, I would choose Al Lindner. I can't think of any other person who impacted my love for fishing more then Al. From the time of the Facts of Fishing Show, Lindy's Tackle, In'Fisherman, the PWT, and on to Lindners Angling Edge, he's the man!

Sorry Tommy,
Gotta ignore the rules and choose my dad. He's been gone over 20 years now. He's the one that got me turned onto the sport for life. He never got into musky fishing, nor knows the great fishing he could have in the area I live these days (Door Co.).
Man If I could only have just 1 day.............
I would have to say my Father, though he is still with us, he does not get out much anymore due to his age. Now if you had asked about those that have left this world as a partner, I have many...foremost I would bring want to spend the day with my grandfathers on the water one last time.
I would say my grandpa or his lifelong best friend (who taught me how to fish), but since you probably aren't looking for sentimental answers, I will go with George Bush Sr. He was former head of CIA, so get a few beers in him and you'd probably hear some great stories.
I guess I would find it hard to pick just one person. My passion for fishing Lake Michigan has led me to pick "local experts", and guided trips have instantly improved my catch rates on the big pond. Like many, I strongly resisted this option because it reduced my spending on gear. I learned all the "fishing stuff" is useless if you can't put it all together; in the right places on the water, at the right times to catch fish. I've read a hundred books and many articles about sport fishing. Many of these writers are mentioned in the previous posts, but none of that printed wisdom can compare with what I've learned from the guided trips and the men (and one woman) who used their local knowledge to "put us on the fish".
