In an ongoing effort to provide as much interaction between world-class anglers and fishing fans as possible, FLWOutdoors.com has announced the 41st installment of FLW Live Reel Chat. On Monday, Feb. 14 at 2 p.m. Central time (3 p.m. ET), visitors to FLWOutdoors.com will be able to correspond directly with Brandon McMillan, the 2011 FLW Tour Lake Okeechobee winner, in a special live chat-room format.

Fishing in the very first FLW Tour event of his career, Brandon McMillan shook off some rookie jitters in the opening Tour stop of the 2011 season to capture the tournament title on Lake Okeechobee. For his efforts, McMillan walked away with biggest payday of his lifetime – winning a first-place prize award of $125,000. McMillan, a resident of Belle Glade, Fla., began his FLW Outdoors career in 2004 as a competitor in the Walmart Bass Fishing League. By 2009, McMillan was holding his own in EverStart Series competition, finishing 39th overall in the Southeast Division during his rookie season and 15th overall in 2010.
