MINNEAPOLIS – This week on “FLW Outdoors” television, co-host and angling veteran Larry Nixon talks to finalists from the fifth stop on the Wal-Mart FLW Tour that took place earlier this month on Kentucky Lake. Nixon interviews the winner of the $100,000 top prize, Steve Kennedy of Auburn, Ala. Nixon also sits down with the second-place finisher, Evinrude pro Davy Hite of Prosperity, S.C., who took home a $35,000 check. Rounding out the guests is FLW Tour pro Gary Yamamoto of Mineola, Texas, who earned a ninth-place finish.

Kennedy, who claimed his first FLW Tour win on Kentucky Lake, talks about his winning weight of 44 pounds, 14 ounces, which surpassed runner-up Hite by more than 10 pounds. Hite – who has appeared in the top 10 at FLW Tour events four times, including one first-place finish – talks about the healthy stringers on Kentucky and Barkley lakes. Yamamoto, whose best finish to date was at this year’s Kentucky Lake event, talks about how Carolina Rigging emerged as the most consistent method of catching huge fish.

This week’s “FLW Outdoors” also features an on-the-water look at third-place finisher Tom Monsoor of La Crosse, Wis., and instructions from Yamaha pro Terry Bolton of Paducah, Ky., for painting worm weights.
