In an ongoing effort to provide as much interaction between world-class anglers and fishing fans as possible, FLWOutdoors.com has announced the 27th installment of FLW Live Reel Chat. On Wednesday, May 6, at 2 p.m. Central time (3 p.m. EDT), visitors to FLWOutdoors.com will get a chance to correspond directly with Berkley pro Stetson Blaylock of Benton, Ark. – the 2009 Walmart FLW Tour winner at Lake Norman – in a special live chat-room format.

Coming off a Co-angler of the Year season in 2008, Blaylock, 21, has clearly made the adjustment to fishing as a pro. He recently became the youngest angler in history to win an FLW Tour event by outfishing many of the best bass pros in the game when the Tour visited Lake Norman in North Carolina for the National Guard Open.

With all his co-angler success and now making waves as a touring pro, Blaylock is approaching the $400,000 mark in earnings in FLW Outdoors events, where he has amassed five wins and 19 top-10s from both the front and back decks. Not only can this young gun provide fishing fans with professional insights about catching bass, he can offer a unique perspective on how to fish with pros and working your way up the ladder of competitive fishing.

How to participate in the FLW Live Reel Chat

FLW Live Reel ChatParticipation in FLW Live Reel Chat is simple.

However, if that is not feasible, readers can also wait until the start of the live chat on May 6 and submit questions while the chat is ongoing.

During the chat, fishing fans will be able to pose questions directly to Blaylock about his most recent victory at Lake Norman, who his picks will be for the upcoming Tour event at Beaver Lake, what it’s like to compete on the FLW Tour or anything else that comes to mind.
