Eufaula, Ala. – There’s a new statue in Eufaula honoring one of its local heroes, and B.A.S.S. founder Ray Scott made sure he was present at its unveiling. Tom Mann, a B.A.S.S. legend and entrepeneur, was the inspiration of the name of the new statue. Mann fished in seven Bassmaster Classics and started Mann’s Bait Company in Eufaula in 1958.
