The Masters (including the reference to their green jacket) is just a play on words, and not meant to be a direct correlation here. In fact, really everything preceding the final paragraph is simply to place some context into what I ask in the final paragraph.

In reference to your question Uncle Jesse... The only Hall of Fame that I am aware of that might apply here, is the one associated with the Catskill Fly Fishing Center and Museum (CFFCM). And while I certainly respect all the current inductees and would likely consider them to be Masters. I would not want to impose that sort of limitation as part of the criteria for my initial question.

Being an inductee of the Hall of Fame may be considered by some as the benchmark for being a Master. But there may be individuals that others consider Masters that will never be an inductee as well. So I think I'll keep my question as generic as it currently stands.
