Straight Talk pros gear up for 2012 FLW Tour season
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – FLW, the world’s leading tournament-fishing organization, and TracFone Wireless, America’s largest no-contract cellular service provider, announced Team Straight Talk Scott Canterbury and J.T. Kenney again will compete in the 2012 Walmart FLW Tour, the largest and most competitive bass fishing circuit in the world.
Canterbury, a four-year veteran of the FLW Tour, is coming off a very successful year in 2011. He finished the year ranked 16th overall in the final FLW Tour standings. His fourth-place finish at Lake Chickamauga and win at the EverStart Series Lake Eufaula event propelled him to nearly $500,000 in career earnings. Canterbury has qualified for the world-championship Forrest Wood Cup three times.
“Straight Talk is everything that you need,” the Springville, Ala., pro said. “They offer the best value that you can get in a cell phone. Some people can’t afford to do the annual contracts and the $500 deposits. Straight Talk is just $45 a month for unlimited talk, text and data. Their service has never let me down, and it’s as good as any cell phone I have ever owned. I enjoy it, I use it every day, and it’s what I believe in.”
Kenney also has been a very successful member of Team Straight Talk. In 2011 Kenney’s top-10 finish at Lake Chickamauga and top-15 finish at Lake Hartwell helped him push his career earnings over the $900,000 mark. Kenney is entering his 11th year of competition on the FLW Tour and has notched 30 top-10 FLW tournament finishes. Kenney has qualified for the Forrest Wood Cup six times.
Kenney owns and uses the latest Straight Talk smart phone, the Samsung Galaxy Precedent. He loves the affordability of his new Android powered by Straight Talk and credits the service and apps for some of his success.
“The service is great,” said Kenney. “Everywhere you go it seems to get service. I use the apps to check the weather, and I’ll check the fishing reports. I also do a lot of saltwater fishing at home, and I use it to check the tides. It really is the best deal out there. Straight Talk has got you covered.”
