Rules of this post(if i may) :
Answer must be from the heart and not bias to your favorite angler.
Must state the name and why.

But sticking to rules
Aaron Martens
I went to all days of Havasu win on the black bird bite
Seen a video i cant find anymore where he used pool clarifier to clear the water for sight fishing.
His work on drop shot... Hooks and rigging.
Scrounger Heads and Shakey Heads
Rod development.
on and on.
I read an article about Iaconelli patterning mayflies. From talking to a lot of pros, it's hard to know who did things first, as opposed to who invented them. Mike talks about the oil trick on crankbaits, but I've heard him in another video credit Terry Scroggins for it. Another example, I saw dudes fishing a thing they called a "spreader rig" (usually 2 big swimbaits) well before an Alabama rig. Martens is certainly an "observer", and he certainly likes to perfect things. I wish I remember which of our videos Martens talks about the Gilly rig, I think it's probably this one https://bassu.tv/bass-fishing-video/rhino-head-dropshot-finesse-fishing-martens where he credits a friend for this rigging method.
Ike is certainly a good choice
If nothing else his background from what I learned... In other words the type of finiky fisheries.
Kinda like Bill Lowen Scenarios.
Thanks for your reply.
