Bass Pro Shops in Prattville, Alabama

Posted: October 22nd, 2007 by Bill Dance

I just returned from a new Bass Pro shops opening in Prattville, Alabama with my good friend BPS owner and founder, Johnny Morris. We got to fish near there late one afternoon and the following morning with one of the all time car racing greats, Red Farmer. What a great and funny guy! The heat was horrid as it has been all over the ought lately, but in spite of it, fishing was good. Later that day we drove in to Prattville where we joined B.A.S.S. founder, Ray Scott, and Alabama’s football great, Kenny “the snake” Stabler. Kenny kidded me about my T cap until I finally told him it really stood for Tuscaloosa (but you and I both know it ain’t true!) Jimmy “Giggles” Houston was there doing his thing, and also Martin Truex, who drives BPS car # 1. After telling a jillion fish stories, and participating in the opening ceremonies, the doors opened to over 10,000 eager hunters and fishermen. I thought it was a great grand opening of a terrific new facility for the sportsmen of the Montgomery area.
