Lendell Martin, Jr., Nacogdoches, TX

Five time Bass Masters Classic qualifier Lendell Martin, Jr. started fishing as a young boy in ponds and rivers and loved all kinds of fishing. He started fishing tournaments in the early 70's with New Caney and Nacogdoches Bass Clubs and progressed to the professional tournaments when his wife, Dianne, entered him in his first one as a Christmas present.

About Yamamoto baits, Lendell says, "I have never used a product that I have had so much confidence in as Yamamoto's full line of products. That in itself is what it takes to be able to catch fish. Confidence in what you are using."

"It's been good to watch our sport grow," remarks Lendell. "Trying to help it grow has been good for me. I have a grandson now, Tristan, who is almost 3 years old. I can't wait to have the opportunity to teach him how to fish. It's important to make our fisheries better for not just ourselves, but for these young ones that are looking to have the opportunity to make some lasting memories."
