I'm glad to say we got some of the first fish smell into its ample livewell. Dean Smith, owner of Legend Boats and factory pro-staffer Andy Scott stopped to visit on their excursion throughout the Western states. Yamamoto pro Jamie Cyphers, a veteran big water driver, put the Legend through its paces.

Paul tries to give you a flavor of what the lake was like in mid-May, in the very last stages of the draw down. LOWDOWN ON LAKE TOHO DRAWDOWN - PART 6: TOO GOOD! http://www.insideline.net/articles/toho-drawdown6.html __________________________________________________ GARY YAMAMOTO CUSTOM BEEF JERKY It's funny so many non-anglers envision fishing as a sedentary "dock potato" sport. To the contrary, keeping a boat on the hot spot all day, out of trouble, and putting five, the biggest you can, in the livewell demands a level of fitness and preparedness equivalent to other athletic sports. Don't run out of casts halfway through the day. Keep a bag of high-energy Gary Yamamoto Custom Beef Jerky on board to refuel your fishing fervor on those long days. Just keep the bag low, however. This richly-flavored jerky tastes too good for you to be sharing it with your friends!

I just read Jay's Evan's comments in last week's WEEKLY NEWS, and felt compelled to write a thank you. Like Jay, I too qualified for the 2003 BASS National Championship using a Senko on the California Delta during the 2002 BASS Western Divisional. I missed winning that tournament by 4 ounces! This year, I secured a spot at the 2005 BASS National Championships by using Senkos on Lake Powell during the 2004 BASS Western Divisional. I missed winning that one by 7 ounces! Like Jay wrote last week, I too thank Gary Yamamoto Custom Baits for producing such a great product! - Dave Mehalechko 2004 Arizona BASS State Champion 2005 BASS National Championship Qualifier __________________________________________________
