Russ E Posted January 25, 2020 Posted January 25, 2020 Rest in peace Forrest. The world lost a legend. It amazes me with all of the different manufacturers, Rangers are still the benchmark that all other Bass boats are compared to. Quote
Ohio Archer Posted January 25, 2020 Posted January 25, 2020 Sad to hear that. Prayers to his family. Quote
Super User Tennessee Boy Posted January 25, 2020 Super User Posted January 25, 2020 Forrest Woods qualified for the first Bassmaster Classic. He was an angler who saw a need and created a better boat to address that need. He was an angler first! Some people are great at marketing, some are great at building things, some are great at running a business. It's the ones that are anglers first that make the greatest contribution to the sport. Thank you Forrest and rest in peace. 1 Quote
