It appears that the last mystery man showed up in several places. Cindy Evans of Duluth took the photograph at the Bass Pro shop in Duluth. Several contributors said a similar statue was at other Bass Pro shops across the nation.
Allan Peel of San Antonio, Texas, wrote: “It is a life-sized statue of John H. Willey (1899–1964), whom Johnny Morris, who founded Bass Pro Shop, referred to as his ‘Uncle Buck,’ and credits for getting him interested in hunting and fishing when he was a boy. Did Uncle Buck actually catch that large bass? Well, nobody knows for sure but when you consider that every Bass Pro Shop has a welcoming sign that reads ‘Welcome Fishermen, Hunters and Other Liars’, we can only guess that the fish may not have been caught by the infamous Uncle Buck.”
Readers recognizing the statue include Raleigh Perry, Buford; David Will, Lilburn; Mike Montgomery, Duluth; Stew Ogilvie, Lawrenceivlle; Jay Altman, Columbia, S.C.; George Graf, Palmyra, Va.; Sarah Davis, Lawrenceville; Susan McBrayer, Sugar Hill; Lou Camerio, Lilburn; and Dee Weaver, Duluth.
