Thank You Very Much, Judy __________________________________________________ LEGENDS OF THE SPORT ~ GUIDO HIBDON Legends abound in our sport on all levels. Every lake, every river, each locale and region, freshwater and saltwater, has legendary anglers that ply their waters. Legendary guides, legendary trophy hunters, legendary tournament anglers are part of the fabric woven into each fishing hole. Wherever fish are caught, legends exist. Some are local legends. A few evolve to become legends of regional, national and global proportions. Guido Hibdon's legend began with guiding on Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri at the age of 14. Hibdon's legend grew as he turned pro in 1980 to fish the BASS and FLW circuits. His legacy includes 1988 BASS Masters Classic Champion and 1990 and 1991 Angler of the Year titles.
