I read in a fishing book that stated that Larry was a paid guide when he was a kid. He was taught at a young age to be patient and to practice, practice, practice.
One test of the person's ability is that they can talk to you, not at you (like Charlie Moron). Larry and Jose' both are great sportsmen. They are able to get you to understand what they are telling you to do without yelling or whooping it up (again, C. Moron) and you truly feel like you are with them when they are on tv.
They will talk about others MORE than about themselves, partly to show why they like the person they are talking about, and partly to show you that they ARE regular people.
Here's my take on these men: They would be willing to help you out if you were having trouble, to give up their fishing time to ensure you were able to enjoy the experience.
(C. Moore-on would say "Enough about me, let's talk about you.....so, what do you like about me??"
Jose will be missed, but NEVER forgotten!
Larry will always have a place in my heart, if for nothing else than instilling a sense of adventure even when fishing my own local persh pond.
