With the offseason rapidly coming to a close, bass-fishing fans looking for additional opportunities to interact with the pros before the start of the 2013 tournament fishing schedule are in luck. On Thursday, Dec. 13 from 7 to 8 p.m. Central Time, fans will be able to communicate directly with National Guard pro Justin Lucas of Guntersville, Ala., in a live TweetChat.

Fans of Lucas and the FLW Tour can start submitting questions immediately on either the FLW Facebook page or on FLW Twitter.

Actual live chat will be exclusively on Twitter from 7 to 8 p.m. CT. Final transcript will be available on FLWOutdoors.com once the chat is over.

Currently, Lucas boasts nearly $430,000 in earnings since the start of his FLW career in 2006. After dominating the back of the boat for three years, the California native relocated to Alabama in 2010 to dedicate his life to becoming a professional angler. He has recorded five FLW tournament wins (two FLW Series victories on the Columbia River, FLW Series triumphs on Clear Lake and the California Delta and a first-place EverStart Series finish on Lake Shasta). In addition, Lucas has scored 17 top-10 finishes over the course of his career, including four FLW Tour final-day appearances since 2009.
