Ray Sasser was an outdoor writer for more than 40 years, ultimately serving as outdoor editor for the Dallas Morning News. Largemouth bass fishing was his favorite subject, but he has written about everything from invasive species to the environment, penning hundreds of newspaper and magazine articles and a dozen books. Sasser was known for championing the interests of the average outdoor person. One of his greatest memories was being present at the inception of the ShareLunker program when Mark Stevenson caught Ethel, ShareLunker No. 1, from Lake Fork in 1986.

Texas Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame seeks to recognize and honor those who have made a lasting contribution to freshwater fishing in Texas and to foster awareness and appreciation of and participation in the sport of fishing.
