“The potential to get paid for running Yamaha power during the 2020 B.A.S.S. tournament season is tremendous,” said David Ittner, Tournaments, Sponsorships and Pro Staff Manager, Yamaha Marine. “Power Pay allows Yamaha to support more anglers than ever before on a grassroots level. For competing anglers nationwide running Yamaha outboards five years or newer, this program is a win-win.”
