    It is interesting, that you don't care, but you care enough to let everyone know you don't care.

    you're right. That was fast.. It's been 57ish years since Ray started this stuff and well over 50 for Johnny.. It needs to slow down..

    Hmm, yes, I also take time out of my day to start BBC posts about things I don’t care about. Wait… no I don’t. That would be asinine. Anyways, carry on.

    We as bass fisherman owe both of them a lot, I've met both (great sense of humour), and have to say without them bass tournaments, tackle and fishing/huntiing conservation would not be the same.

    The beauty of fishing is that it can be what you want it to be; it can be simple or expensive. Fish the way you enjoy and leave the others to fish their way.

    Like them or not, they have had a huge impact on fishing as we know it today.

    If not them, probably somebody else. Maybe somebody else would have had an even better vision, maybe not. We got what we got. I give Ray Scott a B and Johnny an A+, he is a billionaire afterall. Hard to top that kind of success in business.
