Veteran pro and recent Bass Fishing Hall of Fame inductee Gary Yamamoto informed FLW today that he is withdrawing from next week’s Tour event at Lake Hartwell due to severe neck and back pain caused by a compressed disc in his back. He plans to return for the third Tour event of the season next month at Beaver Lake.
A field of 169 boats will compete at Hartwell
Yamamoto, a 15-year veteran of the FLW Tour, has fished 128 tournaments in FLW competition logging eight career Top-10 finishes and more than $490,000 in career earnings.
