All through my angling life I have had a great admiration for the angling skills possessed by Ivan Marks...I am not a matchman and never have been but he was a real hero for a lot of people including me.
I always viewed that guy as The Peoples Champion....I never had the good fortune to meet the bloke but I am told he was very down to earth and would give advice to anybody who asked.....which didn't surprise me at all....A true credit to his sport.
On the other hand......when I was young, I read about the capture of the massive 44lb carp by **** Walker....I read about the line sliding slowly through the hairs on the back of his hand after the take.....I never thought a fishing story could grip me quite like this one did. From that moment on I was also a big fan of **** Walkers ...even though I didn't much care for his discipline of the sport.........he too was a true credit to his sport.
So......that got me thinking about who was the best between them despite the different branches of the sport they excelled in....
These two would be my first and second choices of the best anglers that ever lived......Ivan would take first prize by a short neck.
....but who do you think was the BEST angler that ever lived
Who is/was the best angler of ALL TIME?
