Geoff, I think my ultimate fishing partner would be me.  According to Bill Walters, I can fish and catch squirrels all at the same time when using a spinning reel.

I have always tried to learn from everyone I have fished with before and each one has their specialty whether they know it or not. 
Larry Isali is one of the best jig fishermen I have met and I learn a lot just from watching him. 
Bill Walters is an excellent finesse fisherman. 
Rick is great at fishing underwater structures with crankbaits. 
I have fished for bass for over 56 years and I always learn something new when I go fishing with someone.

Now to answer your question, I would like to fish with KVD as my ultimate partner but I would proudly have any of my friends as my partner anytime too.
