Sad to hear. My Dad fished BASS tournaments in the mid 70’s, and I went to a lot of them as a kid.

Sad to hear Great Guy did a lot for the sport and industry as a whole.

Still have a BASS sticker on the windshield of my current boat. Ray was a heck of a dreamer that started the BASS movement but unfortunately, he was voted out of his own organization by the board of directors. For what reason I don't remember but then he went into whitetail deer management and made another fortune. Sad to hear of his passing. R.I.P.
