I look at the potential in this project as more informative for many who seek knowledge of those who have come before us, and those who fish among us right now. To inform people of who these people are that so many speak of. I am at a meeting for MSBA the other night and I mention the passing of Stan Gibbs.....a couple guys older than me don't even know who Stan Gibbs is! Not that that is the point but if the information is available, I think it will make people a little more knowledgeable. That can't be a bad thing. I also would like to know more of the many people that I have seen listed here. Charlie Murat I have read several stories about him, but I do not know anything really substancial about this man....what were his trademark characteristics, what avenue of fishing did he excell in, what makes him so special or interesting that these many years after his death people still speak his name. There are many more names listed in this thread that I would love to have a source to go to and learn more about these fascinating people. Isn't that really the reason behind such "Halls of Fame" as they are called? To always remember the people, their accomplishments and their contributions to their chosen passion? I think this would be a huge reason to have such a "Forum of Fame", to educate many who come to this site to learn as many do.

Almost time to get our fish on!!!
