MINNEAPOLIS – FLW Outdoors’ radio show on Fox Sports Radio 1190 AM will reel in listeners this Sunday by talking live with pro angler Jay Yelas and Texas Rangers relief pitcher Jay Powell. The two Jays will be joined by college football announcer Joe Zagacki. Calling in will be DallasCowboys.com writer Nick Eatman.

Beginning at 10 a.m. CST Aug. 11, “FLW Outdoors Presented by Wal-Mart” hosts Keith Lebowitz and Travis Smith will discuss a variety of sports- and outdoor-related issues with a full lineup of noted guests.

Powell, a seven-year major league pro with a career earned-run average of 3.8, is a fan of Ranger boats and an avid angler who recently landed a 20-pound salmon. Eatman will be calling in from Ericsson Stadium to discuss highlights from Saturday’s Cowboys game against the Carolina Panthers. Yelas, a Yamaha pro from Tyler, Texas, who added the coveted 2002 Land O’Lakes Angler-of-the-Year title to his resume after an exciting faceoff at the Forrest Wood Open in June, will talk about his enthusiasm for fishing and his outstanding performance on the FLW Tour this year. Zagacki, play-by-play announcer for the No. 1-ranked Miami Hurricanes, will offer insight about his outdoor interests, including hiking and mountain climbing.
