SPRINGFIELD, MO - Bass Pro Group announced today an agreement to acquire Fishing Holdings, LLC, a manufacturer of fishing boats that include Ranger Boats and the Stratos and Triton boat brands from Platinum Equity.
The agreement combines popular fishing boat brands that are recognized internationally. It also creates another connection between two industry leaders, Bass Pro Shops founder/CEO Johnny Morris and Ranger Boats founder Forrest Wood, who are dedicated fishermen, conservationists and entrepreneurs. Years ago the iconic outdoorsmen both began fishing on the White River and White River Chain of Lakes in the Ozarks and even fished together in the first National BASS Tournaments.
"This partnership brings added long-term stability for both companies and for the dealer networks that provide customers with quality boats at exceptional values," said Morris, who also is founder/CEO of Tracker Marine Group. "I've had the pleasure of knowing Forrest Wood many years, and I deeply respect him and his family that founded and built a solid performing business with excellent products."
Morris added that: "It's also important that our companies share comparable cultures and values and are dedicated to manufacturing quality products in the USA."

Brian Watson with a nice buck.It could have been an unfortunate déjà vu for Brian Watson last October when a 10-point buck came crashing through the brush beneath his tree stand.
The Niles insurance agent left work early that day to do a little “field work” in a private, Cass County woods. It’s something he does 2-3 times a week during the deer season.
He climbed into his tree stand, and as he reached for the rope to pull up his bow that was still on the ground, he heard the noise.
“A nice buck came in grunting and smelling the ground not 15 feet from me,” Watson recalled. “I froze.”
