With exclusive gear, fishing and hunting experiences, and memorabilia for bass anglers and anyone interested in the outdoors, the auction proceeds are used in part for the Hall of Fame’s exciting induction ceremony activities taking place at Johnny Morris’ Wonders of Wildlife Museum & Aquarium and White River Conference Center on Thursday, Sept. 25. That evening’s events will include the plaque unveiling and jacket ceremony for the new inductees presented by Phoenix Boats within the Bass Fishing Hall of Fame venue space. Bass boat innovator Randy Hopper, noted journalist Craig Lamb, and the late legendary tackle maker Wiliam Shakespeare, Jr. will be formally inducted into the Hall as the Class of 2025.
