We all have had mentors. That is one of the greatest thing about this sport. If you love this hobbie you allso like to share it with others.
Yes they were/are great people.
Yes they passed down and shared their knowledge.
Yes they were/are highly skilled.
However we need to draw a line. If we don't then Saltheart is right.
What was their overall contribution to the sport?
Was it to a few people, many, a certain area, or did they have an influence to saltwater fishing that effected the the whole sport overall?
My thoughts are that they had to of either of;
been an inovator that had great influence on the sport,
or had a great impact on legislation so that we can still have fish to catch and places to fish from.
