The star of "The Perfect Storm" tops the list of the biggest and best fish in the sea.

George Clooney, who stars as a fishing boat captain in the movie opening this weekend, was ranked No. 1 by People magazine, profiling "America's 100 Most Eligible Bachelors." New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter was No. 2.

"If I had a daughter, Derek is the kind of guy that I would want her to marry," said friend Alex Rodriguez, the Seattle Mariners shortstop who also made the cut.

Matt Damon was No. 3, followed by George Bush — George Prescott Bush, that is, the 24-year-old paralegal who's the grandson of the former president and nephew of Republican candidate George W.
