Final weigh-in from Knoxville to air Sunday on FSN

Second Wal-Mart FLW Tour qualifier to award up to $125,000 to winning pro

MINNEAPOLIS – Tune in Sunday, May 6, to “FLW Outdoors” on FSN for the conclusion of the $1 million Wal-Mart FLW Tour event presented by BP on Fort Loudoun-Tellico lakes in Knoxville, Tenn. Watch as co-hosts Charlie Evans and Keith Lebowitz take viewers through the final weigh-in and award the winning pro angler up to $125,000. The one-hour show is the second of a two-part series covering the second event of the $9.5 million FLW Tour season.

The May 6 show features an all-access segment with pro angler Harmon Davis. Davis grabbed the seventh qualifying spot with a two-day weight of 26 pounds, 10 ounces. He caught 10 bass during the opening round, but none were more important than his twin 6-pounders, caught sight-fishing off beds. Those two fish anchored his five-bass limit on day one that weighed 18 pounds, 5 ounces. On day three, Davis caught another five-bass limit, but it weighed only 10 pounds, 3 ounces. Watch as the Marlow, Okla., native takes viewers along for a ride as he prepares for the final day of competition.

Another pro with the surname Davis is absolutely tearing up the field. Mark Davis, from Mount Ida, Ark., took a huge day-three lead by catching five bass that weighed 19 pound, 13 ounces. Not only does Davis have a 7-14 lead, but it seems as though his other nine competitors fell into a trap that Davis himself has set. While other anglers bathed in the bed-fishing limelight of the first two days, Davis has worked hard to develop something other than a strict sight-fishing regimen. The veteran in him knew that sight-fishing could only last so long. Eventually the wells would run dry or the weather would prohibit sight-fishing.

The bulk of his fish are coming on two topwater wakebaits: a Long A and a King Shad by Strike King. On day three, he caught three on the wakebaits, one off bed and one on a wacky worm. Tune in as the five-time BASS champion goes for win No. 1 on the FLW Tour.

FSN also flashes back to Shinichi Fukae’s extraordinary 2006 FLW Tour season, a season which included two wins and three top-10 finishes. Fukae is back at it again in 2007, as the BP pro sits ninth with one day left on the Fort Loudoun-Tellico lakes.

In addition, Fujifilm pro Wesley Strader of Spring City, Tenn., participates in this edition of Fishing 101. Strader, who is considered an East Tennessee local, explains how to customize and improve the action on your topwater baits with a special loop knot.
