A Great man and Fisherman passes

[twitch]

It is with a heavy heart that I post that ED Kraus has passed away he was a member of the Bass Federation for many years and one of the original members of the Fall River Bass Anglers and a member of the 1st bass club in the area Deadly Dozen. He will be sorely missed and he was a true gentleman and good person. He taught me so much about fishing and was a great contender whenever he was in a tourney. RIP my bassing brother

Thanks for posting and letting people know, Ed was a great guy. Always put a smile on my face seeing him still doing tournaments and enjoying fishing.

Ed was a great man and has done more for bass fishing in Massachusetts than anyone. Working for the fish and game department he had great input in keeping our fisheries in tact. I had the honor of fishing in the BASS nationals back in 1980 in Oklahoma with Ed. I was only 18 when we fished the event and he help me with techniques and how to prepare for the tournament. We were friendly ever since then.

Ed always had his secret crank/spin tied on and was proud of his concoction. I alway remember the name of his boat. GITYOURWIFETOBYUONE lettered on his boat. I may have a few letters out of place but you get the idea of what he was saying.

He will be sadly missed as he was a great man.
