Bass Pro Shop Visit

River Rat · May 11, 2008

We took a motorcycle ride to check out the newly opened (Feb '08) Bass Pro Shop in our area. I know there's BPS all over the country but it's a 1st time to visit one & there's only 2 in LA. The other is located in Bossier City, LA about a 5 hr drive. I checked out on the www and I see each BPS is different depending on the area of the country.

We were going to eat in the restaurant there, but being Mother's Day, a weekend and you would had thought the grand opening was today. It was so packed, just to buy some fudge was about 20 people in line long. Walked around a little & then left...well I did get a pink carnation for being a mom. :thumbsup:

OMG.........Bass Pro Shop you visited had to be killer.
We have a Cabelas w/in 20 miles of my daughter and son in laws home......
I have to refrain from stopping there....is one of my biggest downfalls.
That photo of the pond/lake in front of that store is awesome.

Love the pics and those door pulls! Been to the BPS in Bossier City, they have live gators out front.

I love going to BPS I've been to the one in Okla. City, the one in St. Louis and the other one in La.
I like the gator door pulls one of the other has antlers.

The other one in La. has a really cool albino gator hanging from the ceiling! And gators (live) out front!

We saw one of the other two had a racoon driving a truck!

And Ethel the worlds largest Bass, really enjoyed seeing her when we 1st saw her she was live and in the tank they fed her and other fish. But after she died of old age stuffed!

Ethel was actually caught in Texas and at the time of capture was about 9-10 years old and weighted over 17 1/2 pounds.

She was kept alive and finally passed away in 1994 at an estimated age of 19.
