Ray Scott, founder of Bass Anglers Sportsman Society (B.A.S.S.) and the Whitetail Institute of America, recently sold his legendary bass fishing property, Legacy Lakes, in Pintlala, Ala.<\/p>\n

The property created by Scott, known as Legacy Lakes, spans 200 acres with three lakes and a high-fence enclosure to Canadian-stock whitetail. The property\u2019s centerpiece, a 55-acre lake, has been featured in several fishing shows and was named the best private bass lake in America by \u201cOutdoor Life Magazine\u201d in 2010.<\/p>\n

Scott said it will be hard to leave Legacy Lakes, but that he won’t be far away.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019ll be across the hill, on a secluded side of the property, in a small cottage on an old 16-acre lake. It\u2019s perfect for me and my wife and our two dogs. Plus, I think I\u2019ve gained an outstanding neighbor, and if he wants, I\u2019ll show him a few honey holes.\u201d<\/p>\n

The property\u2019s main lake, dubbed the Presidents Lake by the press, has had many famous visitors come to fish it including Presidents George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush. Many of the country\u2019s top angling pros, various celebrities, Nashville entertainers and business CEOs have a wet line at the lake. Rick Clunn, bass fishing legend and winner of four Bassmaster Classic Tournaments, also caught his personal best, a 13 to 15-pound fish, on the lake.<\/p>\n

Scott bought the land many years before recognizing the lake potential of the rolling acreage about 15 miles south of Montgomery in Pintlala. He finished developing the property in 1986 when he and his wife, Susan, moved into their recently finished house.<\/p>\n

It didn\u2019t take me long to recognize what he had put into the estate. As an outdoorsman, I really appreciate Mr. Scott\u2019s philosophy about the land and its resources. He believes the land is only on loan to us. And in being good stewards, now we can ensure our resources not only for ourselves but for future generations as well.<\/p>\n
