DALLAS – This Sunday on “FLW Outdoors Presented by Wal-Mart,” hosts Keith Lebowitz and Tony Casillas will talk to the $100,000 pro winner of the Wal-Mart FLW Tour’s Atchafalaya Basin event. The Louisiana bass-fishing tournament on the basin, constituting the FLW Tour’s second stop of the season, is presented by Lay’s. The event begins today and will conclude Saturday in dramatic fashion as last year’s winner, pro Paul Elias of Pachuta, Miss., tries to defend his title. Also on the show will be Ranger pro-staff guide David Vance, who will give his weekly fishing update.

The winner of the Atchafalaya Basin event will be one step closer to qualifying for the FLW Tour Championship, slated for Aug. 11-14 in Birmingham, Ala. The first-place finisher at the championship will pocket $500,000. Winning an FLW Tour event means more than the $100,000 payday; it also opens the door to big opportunities, including heightened exposure to sponsors, which can greatly help an angler secure a career in professional fishing. The stakes are high, and the winner will share the experience with listeners this Sunday. Vance, known as one of the best guides in Texas, will give an update about where to catch the biggest bass in the Lone Star State.

“FLW Outdoors Presented by Wal-Mart” is broadcast throughout Texas and parts of Oklahoma every Sunday from 8-10 a.m. Central time on Fox Sports 1190 AM KFXR in Dallas. The show is also available via the World Wide Web at FLWOutdoors.com. Listeners who would like to ask a question of any show guest can e-mail the question to [email protected].
