BASS announced today the return of Ray Scott to the organization he created more than three and a half decades ago.

Plans call for Scott to meet and greet spectators and BASS members attending the Federation Championship in Tulsa, Okla., April 22-24.  Going forward, he will focus his efforts on espousing the benefits of BASS membership.

Scott says he wants to focus his efforts on growing and strengthening the BASS Federations in particular.

He is expected to appear at other marquee events, including this summer's Classic in Charlotte, N.C., and select Bassmaster Elite 50 tournaments beginning in April.

BASS definitely went down the tubes when Ray, Bob and Dewey left. I gotta wonder if he's going to be anything more than a figurehead, tho. Since I became a non-BASS-member well before Ray left, I don't think it will matter a lot. I got tired of the magazine with the same articles, year after year, with a new bunch of pictures and a new nom de plume.Yamamoto's InsideLine, or BassWest (out of Utah) suit me a lot better.

It doesn't matter much to me, Glenn. I've already decided to not renew any of the bassin' magazine subscriptions, including GYCB's. One of these days, I'll drag some boxes of magazines to the meeting and give them to the Newbies.

C&R, Steve

 

I personnally like the play by play of the tournaments as it has for me become a major sport like baseball and such and to read how people came to the winning conclussions they did no one reports it the way Bassmaster does. and I hav'nt got bored with the articles yet.
