All right, enough with the guys already, we want to hear from the women. Beginning today, FLW Outdoors will be soliciting true fish tales from our female fans. We want to hear the best stories or anecdotes you have to offer. What is the biggest fish that you ever caught? What is your most zany fishing experience on the water? Are you, or have you ever been involved in a competitive tournament trail? If so, how did that come about? Was the experience a positive one? What do you see as the true joys of fishing? And finally, what can the sport do to encourage more women to join? Although no topic is out of bounds, we’d like to keep submissions under 1,200 words. So, whether you are a teenager regaling us with your first big stringer, a senior citizen willing to share a lifetime of fishing experiences or anyone in between, we want to hear from you.

Submissions, which will be published on our Web site beginning Feb. 12, should be sent to [email protected]. The deadline for contest entries is Monday, Feb. 9.
