i was fishing back in a creek arm yesterday at lake travis and gary yamamoto came running in. i recognised his yellow and white legend boat.i paddled over and said hello. he's a super nice guy.he caught three to my one . but at least i got one while he was there.

i only talked to him for about five minutes. he was pre-fishing for the flw tournament next week so i did'nt want to bother him(too much) . i thanked him for inventing the hula grub and the senko and told him my all time record for fish in one day(26) came on a hula grub.
he laughed but offered no free baits. i was thrilled just to talk to him.
i've encountered numerous pros this week and they've all been respectful of the water i was fishing. so far i'd give all those guys ,and 1 girl (land o lakes) an A+ for ediquitte and friendliness. i just hope they don't find those big females. i fished two days in a row and would be able to weigh-in 19.5 lbs. i can't wait to see what takes the money.

I dont blame you for not bothering him while he was pre fishing, that was the respectful thing to do. Dave
