In an ongoing effort to provide as much interaction between world-class anglers and fishing fans as possible, FLWOutdoors.com has announced the 32nd installment of FLW Live Reel Chat. On Wednesday, Aug. 12, at 1 p.m. Central time (2 p.m. EDT), visitors to FLWOutdoors.com will get a chance to correspond directly with veteran pro angler Greg Hackney of Gonzales, La. – the 2009 Forrest Wood Cup winner – in a special live chat room format.

With just over $1 million in career earnings at FLW Outdoors events, Hackney has recorded 27 top-10 finishes and four titles since he began his fishing career with FLW Outdoors back in 1995.

However, no victory was bigger than his recent 2009 Forrest Wood Cup win in Pittsburgh where the Louisiana native managed to walk away with $500,000 in prize money after pulling off a dramatic first-place finish by a slim 3-ounce margin.

How to participate in the FLW Live Reel Chat

Participation in FLW Live Reel Chat is simple. Beginning immediately, visitors to FLWOutdoors.com can log on and submit questions to the chat early in order to have the first chance at getting their questions answered. However, if that is not feasible, readers can also wait until the start of the live chat on Aug. 12 and submit questions while the chat is ongoing.

During the chat, fishing fans will be able to pose questions directly to Hackney about his recent Forrest Wood Cup title, his prospects for the upcoming 2010 professional bass-fishing season, the challenges anglers face fishing for a living or anything else that comes to mind.

In addition, bass-fishing fans who missed out on any of the previous FLW Live Reel Chats can view the archived transcripts by clicking here.

FLWOutdoors.com will offer the FLW Live Reel Chat format continually, with regularly scheduled chats occurring after the conclusion of major FLW Outdoors tournaments. Also, additional chats will be added throughout each month as anglers or celebrities become available.
