PART 1 THE 4TH ANNUAL YAMAHA TURKEY BASS SMASH PART 2

On Americana Outdoors presented by Garmin, we’re bringing you coverage of the 4th Annual Yamaha Turkey Bass Smash! This high stakes, winner-takes-all competition is one of our favorite events that we look forward to all year long for the amazing hunting, fierce fishing, great food, camaraderie, and good ol’ fashioned bragging rights earned by one team at the end of the two-day event! In the past at this legendary event, we’ve seen triumphant wins and devastating losses, from all out disqualifications to last minute lead changes! So what do we have in store for you this year?! Will Team Middleton clench a three-peat? Has Clark thoroughly read through the rules to claim the victory this time? Or will the fresh faces of Chris and Trait the Zaldaingerous Duo charge into camp and steal the win from everyone?! Let’s Find out!

On Part Two of the 4th Annual Turkey Bass Smash, we’re continuing our coverage of the fourth annual Yamaha Turkey Bass Smash! On the first day of the Turkey Bass Smash the turkeys weren’t gobbling as much as we’d hoped, but that didn’t stop our teams from putting multiple birds on the ground! We’ve already been treated to an action packed adventure with triumph and heartbreak, and today we’ll find out who will come out on top, here, on Amistad Reservoir! Each of our teams are fishing for a five fish limit, and the heaviest limit of the day will earn 75 points for a teams overall score. Of course, with any competition, where there’s points to be earned, there’s points to be lost, and teams will need to keep in mind a host of ways they can earn themselves a penalty, such as failing to check in during the three designated checkin’s today, and not arriving back at the scales on time at the end of the day.
