What did you think of it?
To me there are a few notable exceptions.
1: Ray Webb - a true legendary figure and pioneer of modern pike angling.
2: Graham Marsden - I feel however that the reason for his omission is logical.
3: Jim Bazley - often called the greatest and most skilfull English all-round angler of all time.
4: Tag Barnes - anyone who knew him would realise that he was not only a great angler, but a tackle and rod designer of renown.
5: JW Martin - The Trent Otter - probably the original specimen hunter, great angler and wonderful writer. He virtually taught himself how to read and write and was brought up in the poorest circumstances.
6: Frank Barlow - great match angler who wrote one of the funniest columns in fishing.
7: Eric Hodson - without his untiring efforts in the 60s and 70s, the big fish scene as we know it today would not exist.
I was disappointed not to see Richard Walker heading the list, but I think if more people had voted, he would have done.
Walker WAS the number 1 make no mistake about that.
