In an ongoing effort to provide as much interaction between world-class anglers and fishing fans as possible, FLWOutdoors.com has announced the 56th installment of FLW Live Reel Chat. On Wednesday, June 6 at 3 p.m. Central time (4 p.m. ET), visitors to FLWOutdoors.com will be able to correspond directly with Martin, the FLW Tour Potomac River winner, in a special live chat-room format.

National Guard pro Scott Martin of Clewiston, Fla., is arguably fishing as well right now as he has during his entire career. After winning the prestigious 2011 Forrest Wood Cup last August, Martin out-dueled the entire field this month to capture the FLW Tour Potomac River title after failing to relinquish the lead for four consecutive days. Martin now boasts over $2 million in career earnings, 26 top-10 finishes in FLW-related events, five FLW Tour victories and one FLW Series title. In addition, Martin now ranks second overall, behind Castrol pro David Dudley, in the 2012 Walmart FLW Tour Angler of the Year race. Martin, who is the son of famous fishing icon Roland Martin, began his FLW career back in 1999.

Chat directly with Martin

Participation in the upcoming chat is simple. At the start of the next live chat on June 6, visitors can log on at 3 p.m. Central time and interact directly with Martin or simply watch the chat unfold online. As always, FLW fishing fans may begin submitting questions immediately.

During the chat, fishing fans will be able to ask Martin about his FLW Tour victory on the Potomac River, his thoughts on the Alabama Rig and the current angler of the year race, 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 June 6 live chat. 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.
