In an ongoing effort to provide as much interaction between world-class anglers and fishing fans as possible, FLWOutdoors.com has announced the 43rd installment of FLW Live Reel Chat. On Monday, April 4 at 2 p.m. Central time (3 p.m. ET), visitors to FLWOutdoors.com will be able to correspond directly with Jason Christie, the 2011 FLW Lake Hartwell winner, in a special live chat-room format.

With six top-10 finishes on the FLW Tour since 2008 as well as 30 top-10 finishes overall in FLW Outdoors events over the course of his young career, Jason Christie has clearly found his groove and proven that he’s a force to contend with at each and every event. Boasting more than $480,000 in career winnings, Christie finally grabbed his first-ever FLW Tour title on Lake Hartwell on March 27. Currently ranked 11th overall, Christie now has a realistic chance at making a significant run to the top of the leaderboard in the highly competitive FLW Tour Angler of the Year race.

Chat directly with Christie

Participation in the upcoming chat is simple. At the start of the next live chat on April 4, visitors can log on at 2 p.m. Central time and interact directly with Christie or simply watch the chat unfold. As always, FLW Outdoors fishing fans may submit questions immediately and wait until the start of the FLW Live Reel Chat.

During the chat fishing fans will be able to ask Christie about his recent victory at Lake Hartwell, inquire what it’s like to have a career as a professional bass angler, pose tips-and-technique questions or anything else that comes to mind. Again, visitors to FLWOutdoors.com are able to log on and submit questions in advance of the scheduled chat in order to have the first shot at getting their questions answered. It’s also a great way to participate if you’re unable to make the live chat on April 4. However, for those who miss the chat entirely, a transcript of the event will be posted to the site in article form immediately following its conclusion.

In addition, bass-fishing fans who missed out on any previous FLW Live Reel Chats, can find links to their full transcripts here.

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