SPECIAL REPORT: 2002 U.S. OPEN

The US Open is more than a tournament. It is a reunion of
the top Western pro fishing fraternity.

Many of the pros have fished the US Open for years if not
decades. Forrest and Nina Wood, founders of Ranger Boats
were there on Sunday. Forrest enchanted the field of 340
pros and amateurs reminiscing of his experiences at the very
first US Open held 21 years ago.

Since then, it has become an annual gathering of the biggest
names in bass fishing from the West, and it's the biggest
title of the year here, second to none. To win the US Open
is the ultimate victory in the West.

Read the story of the 2002 US Open which ended yesterday.

Find out who won the $120,000 first place money.

Get the inside line on the daily patterns used by Gary
Yamamoto to finish 12th.

Read how Team Yamamoto's Roy Hawk whacked biggest bass of
the tourney, biggest bass again for day two, biggest
stringer for day two, earning 9th place and cash and prizes
totalling $32,000. Not bad for three days fishing, eh?
