In an ongoing effort to provide as much interaction between world-class anglers and fishing fans as possible, FLWOutdoors.com has announced the 47th installment of FLW Live Reel Chat. On Tuesday, June 28 at 1 p.m. Central time (2 p.m. ET), visitors to FLWOutdoors.com will be able to correspond directly with Chad Grigsby, the 2011 FLW Tour Kentucky Lake winner, in a special live chat-room format.
With nearly $630,000 in winnings and 10 top-10 finishes at FLW Outdoors-related events since 2001, Chad Grigsby of Maple Grove, Minn., finally secured his first-ever FLW Tour win at Kentucky Lake on June 19. Grigsby, who has a remarkable six top-10 finishes on the FLW Tour since the 2005 season, leapfrogged from third place to first on the final day of Kentucky Lake competition after turning in a mammoth one-day stringer weighing 22 pounds, 13 ounces. In the end, Grigsby – who never led until the final day – wound up winning the tournament title by a healthy margin of more than 6 pounds.
Chat directly with Grigsby
Participation in the upcoming chat is simple. At the start of the next live chat on June 28, visitors can log on at 1 p.m. Central time and interact directly with Grigsby or simply watch the chat unfold online. As always, FLW Outdoors fishing fans may submit questions immediately.
During the chat fishing fans will be able to ask Grigsby about his recent victory at Kentucky Lake, 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 June 28. 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.
