Today we went back to the Bass Pro Shop with camera in hand. Here's the pics. These excerpts come from
Bass Pro Shop: The Story.
 |
| In 1971 young Johnny Morris, frustrated by the lack of tackle in local
stores, rented a U-Haul trailer and took off across the country filling
it with the newest premium fishing tackle he could find. |
 |
| When he returned home to Springfield, Missouri, Johnny started in the
fishing business with eight feet of space in his dad’s liquor store
which became a popular stopping-off place for local and out-of-state
fishermen on the way to the Ozark’s famous bass lakes. |
 |
| A number of these anglers started calling when they got back home
wanting Johnny to send them some of his specialized Bass Pro Shops
tackle. |
 |
| In 1974, in response to this demand, he printed and mailed his first Bass Pro Shops catalog. |
 |
| Today, outdoor enthusiasts around the world look forward to opening the
mail and getting their favorite Bass Pro Shops catalog, while many
enjoy visiting and shopping basspro.com. |
 |
| In 1978, Johnny introduced the first professionally rigged boat, motor and trailer fish-ready package. |
 |
| The Bass Tracker boat “package” revolutionized the marine industry. Huge boat
showrooms are featured in every Bass Pro Shops store. |
