| __________________________________________________ February 11, 2003 - Vol. 4 No. 6 __________________________________________________ EDITOR'S LOG Greetings. It's Russ Bassdozer here again for our weekly get-together. I hope you are feeling fine. My mom passed away suddenly last week, and I appreciate the condolences and support I received from all my friends and associates worldwide in bass fishing. It's never a good part of life when a good mom leaves her family. Thank you from the Comeau family and may God bless you for your thoughts and prayers at our time of need. Last month, I taught you ideal ways to score with each and every one of all fifty models of Yamamoto soft baits. If you missed that, it's a must-read at: YAMAMOTO'S TOP FIFTY COUNTDOWN by Russ Bassdozer http://www.insideline.net/articles/top-50.htm This week, I teach you how to pack all fifty into one tackle bag. Fifty bags of bait you say? In one tackle bag? It's true, learn how to strategically pack a sumptuous smorgasbord for bass when you take a peek... INSIDE BASSDOZER'S BAG http://insideline.net/articles/bassdozers-bag.html Thank you for reading. Regards, Russ "Bassdozer" Comeau Editor, Gary Yamamoto's Weekly News __________________________________________________ ORGANIZED FISHING IS A FINE AND WHOLESOME ACTIVITY Organized fishing is a fine and wholesome family, community and conservation-oriented activity.

A wide range of Yamamoto Custom Baits are now "down under" for the first time ever in Australia, including Senkos, Ikas, Yamamoto Hula Grubs and Yamamoto single tail grubs. They're at Melbourne's Compleat Angler store.

Okay everyone. The troops have landed. Two new products have hit the beach and are now available to order: 9M-Series 5" Slim Senko 7C-Series 5 3/4" Cut Tail Both are made in the same 10 colors: 020,021,031,042J,150,157,194J,196,208,297 The Tenth Warrior is the name given to the 9M because it is the tenth model of Yamamoto Senko to be released to fishermen so far.

To diehard anglers, one milestone of fame may be catching a record fish. They say everyone will have their fifteen minutes of fame in life. Yet using Yamamoto baits to claim IGFA state line class records may hardly take that long for you to become famous...and you may get free bait in the process! The IGFA or International Game Fish Association keeps freshwater line class records on a state-by-state basis for all fifty U.S. states. There is something for every angler, with 3 separate line class record categories (4 lb light, 12 lb medium and 20 lb heavy) for the most popular freshwater species in each state. Gary Yamamoto Custom Baits' State Record Incentive Program recognizes anglers who achieve a milestone of fame by achieving IGFA state line class records for largemouth, smallmouth, spotted bass or walleye. Currently, many IGFA state line class record categories for these species are vacant. So what are you waiting for? Get famous, and you may get free bait in the process! For more information, please read: GYCB ANNOUNCES NEW STATE RECORD INCENTIVE PROGRAM http://www.insideline.net/record-incentive.html __________________________________________________ GYCB'S TOURNAMENT INCENTIVE PROGRAM Fishing fame comes in all forms.
