Pure greatness... I actually got to shake his hand at the Elite series on eagle mountain way back when. I was talking to KVD and KVD says here comes Ray Scott, KVD got a hug, I got a handshake.

Never met the man...but KVD ? Yes. I had a KVD Bobble head and I was gonna put it on his truck. He caught me, autographed it, and stuck to the hood of my jeep.
Got stuck with the check eating dinner with Tommy Biffle in Branson. His room was next to mine and Pruetts. met him when he wanted to use my extennion cord. My boat was backed up to my door and he got there too late and had to park a few rows away from the doorways. He said he'd buy dinner.....ha. Whatever. He's from Oklahoma ya know. .....and he can eat!

Got to shake hands with him at mega bucks event( I think was the name) on Richland Chambers. Finals were on white rock lake. Was a terrible weather tourney, but got my bass club hat signed by a few of these guys. Rick Clunn, David Fritts, Roland Martin, Larry Nixon, Jimmy Houston ( I think that's it). All were very kind and great gents to me ( except Roland Martin).Never forget it was so cold and windy and Clunn was fishing in flip flops.

Good job Ken and thanks for posting that. I knew folks would enjoy that story and relate to it. All of us owe a debt of gratitude to Ray Scott for his vision and all he has done for the sport. Never be another like him.

Good story Ken, I guess it was shortly after that you went to Bullet boats. Yes sir. I ran Bullets back in '93-'95. Then to Gamblers then three Tritons then back to Bullet before the Legend I have now.

Yes sir. I had almost forgotten about it until Ronnie asked me about him. I only have one question Ken, my friend, what was his actual facial expression when you said your first words to him, revealing yourself as the Korean Cowboy?!?!?

In 1987 I went to work for Humminbird and Mann Lures. Mr Scott was in Eufala a lot with one of his best friends Tom Mann. He would drop by our sales meetings and visit with us. Very nice gentleman. I got to hang with several of the old greats back then at shows and tournaments I had to work the tents. Hank Parker was always around, Jimmy Houston and his wife. Still stay in touch with them through hunting. Really great people.

Holy cow! Flash back! I met him at that same show. My son was 7 and I got a picture of Ray and my son standing in front of a Triton. Ray was a very nice guy and talked to my boy for about 5 minutes.
Cool story.
