In an ongoing effort to provide as much interaction between world-class anglers and fishing fans as possible, FLWOutdoors.com has announced the 60th installment of FLW Live Reel Chat. On Tuesday, Sept. 4 at 11 a.m. Central time (12 noon ET), visitors to FLWOutdoors.com will be able to correspond directly with Chevy pro Larry Nixon, the FLW Tour Detroit River winner, in a special live chat-room format.

With nearly $1.5 million in FLW career earnings, Chevy pro Larry Nixon of Bee Branch, Ark., is arguably one of the most accomplished anglers in the history of the sport. After notching his most recent victory at the Aug. 23-26 Walmart FLW Tour event on the Detroit River, Nixon now boasts four FLW Tour wins (including Lake Norman in 2007; Lake Wheeler in 2002; and Lake St. Clair in 2001) over the course of his 15-year FLW career. In addition, Nixon has recorded 19 top-10 finishes (including an incredible 14 on the FLW Tour alone). Affectionately known as “The General,” Nixon has logged 131 FLW events since 1998.

Chat directly with Nixon

Participation in the upcoming chat is simple. At the start of the next live chat on Sept. 4, visitors can log on at 11 a.m. Central time and interact directly with Nixon 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 Nixon about his Detroit River victory, how bass fishing has changed over the past two decades, pose tips-and-technique questions or ask 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 Sept. 4 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.
