Found this out on the Web and thought it was very intersting. I have known Jimmy and his family for quite some time and I am sure it was a tough decision for him and his family. I am sure George and CPM are excited to have him on board. He is a class guy with the greatest of ethics and faith.
Yamaha Pro Jimmy Bell adds Ranger Boats and continues long-term relationship with Crystal Pierz Marine
Minneapolis, Minn., Jan. 5, 2005 — Yamaha fishing pro Jimmy Bell and his family, all of Ham Lake, Minn. have joined ranks with Ranger Boats and Crystal Pierz Marine to promote the boat brand and dealership. Bell, a long-time professional walleye angler with national recognition earned three national tournament titles, a professional rookie of the year title and a national angler of the year title. He has generated more than a quarter million dollars in tournament winnings, cashing checks in 40 of his last 47 professional events ranking him as one of the top walleye anglers in the country.
“My family and I are honored to be entering a long-term relationship with Ranger Boats and continuing with Crystal Pierz Marine. We had some tough choices to make when Crestliner was sold to Brunswick. Crestliner is a great organization, but our longevity has been with Yamaha Outboards. We believe that the product innovation and reliability that we are accustomed to having with Yamaha will fit perfectly with Ranger and Crystal Pierz Marine. Ranger has long been known as the pinnacle of boats and customer satisfaction and Crystal Pierz Marine is the undisputed leader in boat sales and service in the upper Midwest. My family and I are proud of our new relationship and we look forward to working closely with all parties.”
George Liddle Jr., Ranger’s Regional Sales Manager is just as excited about the new relationship as Bell. “Jimmy and his family, who are as enthusiastic about fishing as he is, bring just what we need to the table and they are a welcome addition to the Ranger family. Jimmy’s vast retail experience will be greatly appreciated as we are introducing our new 1850 Reata and future products. Jimmy has a great understanding of the industry at the consumer, professional angler, dealer and manufacturing levels. Being a family fisherman and professional walleye angler while dabbling in bass tournaments, allows us to leverage Jimmy’s experience and commitment to the sport.”
Crystal Pierz Marine has had a long-term relationship with Jimmy and his family and is excited to carry on and build that strong attachment. “Jimmy has worked closely with Crystal Pierz Marine since 1997 and we are proud to have him and his family as partners. He understands the value of a professional angler is not just in fishing tournaments. Jimmy’s value comes from his great understanding of the sport and his true passion of helping consumers make informed decisions. He is a true professional at the highest level and we are proud to have him continue working with us at Crystal Pierz Marine.”
