One of the greatest outdoor enthusiasts and writers passed away last night.

RIP, Mr. Sasser. You were a great one!

Wow... Ray was a good man.

He fished with me on several occasions over the years at Fork. One day in Oct he hooked and lost a Giant on a Bagley DB3 crankbait. He wrote the article about his day on the lake with me and titled it �Loch Fork Monster�

Sad to hear he is gone.

Sad to hear . I always looked forward and enjoyed his articles.

I enjoyed reading his column. RIP

Ray was a friend and was instrumental in helping get the word out about Private Water Fishing. I was able to fish with Ray and his wife Emile many times. The last time was in April and likely the most fun we had. Ray and Emile are folks who are truly interested in others. Ray caught 6 fish over 5 lbs, including a 9lb fish. Emile caught a 7 lber. About 2 years ago Ray invited me to his induction to the TPWD Hall of Fame. Ray likely had 25 friends and family who were there to witness his induction. Unfortunately, Ray had to miss due to illness, he was in the hospital. He has been sick for a long time. I've spoken to several outdoor sportswriters who believed Ray Sasser likely had the largest impact of any regional outdoor sportswriter in the country. Ray will be missed by so many!

Fouz. I cannot find anything about it on-line. I had not heard. Do you have a link?

I miss his columns,now I miss the man.

I've not seen anything in the press. A friend of Ray's texted me this morning about it.

Years ago reading the Thursday fishing report in the Dallas Morning News was the way I found out about fishing in lakes around the state. I called Mr. Sasser a could of times to ask him questions about lakes before I drove hours to fish them. He was very friendly and helpful to someone he had never met. I'm sorry to hear of his passing.

Terrible news, his contribution will be missed. Prayers up to his family and friends.

Ray's articles and books are a large part of why I'm such an avid outdoorsman.

Very sad news, Ray was a terrific outdoor writer!

Sorry to hear this, always enjoyed his columns and reports. May he rest in peace

RIP

Sad news, indeed. R.I.P. Mr. Sasser. Prayers and condolences.

Legend in the outdoors world. He will be missed

Prayers being sent for family n friends

What�s up Fouzman

Howdy Stan!

Saddened to hear this news, his presence will be sorely missed. A few years ago Ray Sasser spoke at the service for mutual friend Ray Murski. Like his writing, Sasser's words at that time were thoughtful, inspirational and motivating to all who knew Murski and all who appreciate the experience of the great outdoors.

sad to hear. he wrote an article on my first DD bass as he witnessed me go swimming after it on light line hung up on an outside weed line.

This is all I could find.

RIP Ray

R.I.P. Ray you will be missed.

RIP Mr. Sasser. He did a column on an experience I had back in the early 80's. I had gone deer hunting in East Texas (Davy Crockett Ntl Forest). My campsite was robbed and he was kind enough to warn other hunters about it in his column. He was very gracious and polite. I always enjoyed his writings. Texas has lost a great outdoor sportswriter.

RIP. Sad day to be sure.

A very talented writer for sure.... RIP

A lot of us have read his articles in the DMN for many years. He was a great voice for all sportsmen.

Ray was a good guy.

I called him a few times with fishing questions and he was more than patient with me answering them.

I once emailed him and asked him what he thought of bass fishing in Mexico and he gave me a very well informed and unbiased opinion.

I used to keep some of his DMN articles in a �someday I want to go there� pile.

RIP Mr. Sasser.

I filmed several TV shows with Ray over the years. Also provided insight to his articles. He was a great ambassador to our sport and he will be missed.

Rest in peace Mr. Sasser. I always enjoyed reading your outdoors articles. You will be missed deeply sir!

Rest in peace Ray.

unless im wrong he took over the dfw outdoor writer guy reins from either henry stowers or ray lapere, cant remember at the moment but ray sasser was a hell of a writer.
