- The Top 24 fishermen in the U.S. compete in the second annual Bassmaster Classic in 1972. All of the anglers used the same boat rigs on the surprise location of Percy Priest Reservoir in Tennessee. Fishing fans will recognize Bill Dance, Bobby Murray and Ricky Green in this video from the first catch-and-release Bassmaster Classic. The first member of the Bass Angler Sportsman Society wins the top prize of $10,000.
Ray Scott was a natural in front of the camera. The man deserves all the success he has had!
Back to a time when everything was simple, I love the old footage!
I agree 👍 10000 percent..
The current times are just a mess. watching this we see humble and happy men
Those old boat are a classic. I would love to have one of those old Rangers this day and time. Completely all original and restored. Original old Mercury motor. I would fish the heck out of that boat today! I just like a old classic boat as well as old trucks and cars.
Sara, get Bass to do the classic in this same way. Give everyone the same boat and gear and see who wins...
Thanks for putting these up.
Logan Sumrell Interested
I have one of them boats now runs great everything works even live wells same model too a 1972
Them old Mercury’s where screaming on those Rangers! 👍
YOUR BACK!, love these old school videos, no one throwing the whopper plopper or drop shots
Brian lol I know!
no! and you heard this guy at the end - it was a rainy crappy day and he just downsized his spinnerbait in the back of a creek. At that same point, these lakes probably weren't pressured as much as they are now.
They would have if they were around during the time
I Like theses old films keep putting more up
This is super cool to watch
the old vids are great!!!keep them commin
dude thank you !!!!! i will watch all of these if i can !
:D Our plan is to post one a week until they're all on here. - Sara
My first bass boat was an old 70’s Terry tri-hull.
Wish they would have a throwback tournament, no electronics other than a sounder put them on a small lake that none or few have fished.
Ray Scott amazed me. He was a hustler, he got out there and really sold this dream.
Those boats...the blast off in those is scary to watch today. The boats were pretty dinky..good boats but small. If I'm not mistaken the blast off was done away with after two guys drowned when their boat motor stalled and a wake cover over their stern and sunk them immediately in a club tournament?
Good stuff. Thanks, for sharing !
Love the shotgun start. Nothings changed. Its still complete bedlem!!!
8 track flashback !!!! Holy
I'd say they were thanking their lucky stars the surprise lake wasn't Vietnam. Lol
lol those orange jump suits. GMan wears one on the Ike show lol I gotta say though, if those boats sold out after 2 hours after the tournament... like to see that on a new set of Rangers ;)
This is the year Fred C Young's Big O became a sought after lure. Fred was trained by Boots Anderson in east Tennessee while Boots was making the "Tennessee Shad" lure. These crankbaits were the first square bills made and after this Classic everyone wanted to know what they were and where they could get them, the rest if history.
It would be cool to see how we would fair with today's knowledge of techniques, using 72' gear in this setting.....We'd probably get our @55 handed back to us.
I think just getting the equipment would be hard and costly! One of the BASS member magazines (BASS Times maybe) does a "what it's worth" article on those old baits and some of them are 100's of dollars.
Them damn ol Mercury's lol...I hated working on them pieces of crap!
Ray Scott was a true Pioneer.
I'm always happy when a Okie wins
NICE!!
Love using a big O...funny that ray had to ask what it was...guess it was just starting out
PLEEEAAASE come back to Nashville
On Old days Lake!! Please. Its my home lake. 5mins from me.
music city U.S.A
