In an ongoing effort to provide as much interaction between world-class anglers and fishing fans as possible, FLWOutdoors.com has announced the 38th installment of FLW Live Reel Chat. On Friday, June 4 at 2 p.m. Central time (3 p.m. ET), visitors to FLWOutdoors.com will be able to correspond directly with FLW Tour pro Brent Ehrler of Redlands, Calif., in a special live chat-room format.

With 23 top-10 finishes, a 2006 Forrest Wood Cup title and a staggering 14 top-10 finishes at FLW Tour and FLW Series events since 2008, Brent Ehrler also boasts two FLW Tour victories during 2010 season – including his most recent win at Lake Ouachita last week.
