I was reminded of another great bass pioneer last night while surfing the Net. There isn't much I could find about him currently on the web, but I remember reading about him quite a bit when I first started getting into bass fishing around the late 70's. His nickname was "Mr. Bomber", and he was "THE" pitchman for the lure company of the same name. He won the Texas State Bass Championship 3 out of 4 years back in the 60's and is inducted into the Texas Fishing Hall of Fame. He travelled the country quite a bit doing promotional work for Bomber. His name was Floyd Mabry and he was a heavy tackle, play with 'em in the boat cranking kind of guy. He passed away back in 1991, but I did come across this article from the Holmes County Herald date Nov. 21, 1968. You can zoom out or just use "the hand" cursor to scroll down through the brief write-up.
