YAMAHA’S TURKEY-BASS SMASH WITH SCOTT NEWBY

Spring is nearly here and that means turkey beards and bass will soon be on the mind of almost every outdoorsman. Scott Newby is the ATV & Side-by-Side Senior Communications Specialist for Yamaha Motor Corporation, and he’s ready to fill tags and bag limits afield. Listen in as he talks about the upcoming Yamaha Turkey-Bass Smash. He’ll also highlight the crossover that exists between fans of pure racing and the outdoors.

The upcoming Turkey-Bass Smash, a friendly competition held by Yamaha’s Marine and Outdoor divisions featuring teams of professional anglers, racers and more. The event is a two-day tournament in Texas with one day focusing on turkey hunting in the brush country and the final day held on the water of Lake Amistad. The tournament is judged on a point system that totals up the scores of turkey weights, beards, and spur lengths as well as any bonus and penalty points earned along the way. The fishing portion is scored on a five fish limit with points for total weight, biggest fish and more. At the end of the two-day event, points are added together and a winner is named. The winning two-man team gets bragging rights, a photo with the Turkey-Bass Smash trophy and the opportunity to defend their title the following year. Scott says he and teammate Wade Middleton have won the past two tournaments and are looking forward to defending their title this spring. Listen in as he discusses the scouting and preparation they put in for the event as well as the equipment, like the fleet of Yamaha side-by-sides, they use to give them the best possible edge in the field.
