Clunn or Martin

[bucketmouth64]

I missed who won the greatest angler debate while the classic was on. Went to the espn HSOforum and read Clunn won.

Who did you vote for? Did the right one win? How close was the voting? I voted for Martin, but you can't go wrong with either one. Both are deserving.

Al Lindner should have won!!

I actually have an autographed Virgil Ward post card that he sent me when I was about 8 yrs. old. Growing up in SD that was the main show we watched before Tony Dean started up. He replied with a a personal letter. To a young twerp he was and still is a god!

In-Fisherman did an article on Clunn and I couldn't agree more with him.

He is not the showmen that Martin is. He's a fishermans fisherman.

[Cooter]

Son, I would have voted for Martin.

I too did not see who won... IF it were up to me, and I know it isn't.. Clunn all the way! Not taking anything away from Rowland...He won more tournaments than anybody I do believe... but for that time, Clunn was unbeatable. I am pretty sure I have read everything he has ever written.. Same with Denny B.

Clunn was the winner. They announced it the first day of the classic prior to Clunn weighing in with zero fish. He said he was embarrassed to come in skunked after receiving such an honor. Shows us all how tough of a bite it was at the classic. He probably desereved to win because of his greatness over a long period of time. I personally would have voted for Kevin VanDam-even prior to his newest classic win. Gotta support our fellow northern bassers! KVD has been dominating since his rookie season and has only gotten better. He was winning on unfamiliar water in the old days of the 4 day marathon tourneys when a guy needed to find 4 days worth of fish and pace himself so as not to run out of fish. Nowdays, he has adapted to the "make the cut" format after only 2 days and is probably the best there is at fishing the closed course format of the last 2 days of competition. The guy is still only thirtysomething years old!

when it comes to fishing and not just finding a spot kvd is tought to fish against
