Walmart FLW Tour Stats, Facts and Figures
A little “did-you-know” fodder regarding FLW’s top performers
We’re stats junkies here at FLW. Before and after every Walmart FLW Tour tournament we crunch the numbers and review the history books to see how an angler or lake lived up to historical precedent, or to predict major upcoming milestones.
Granted, nothing is ever guaranteed in fishing, and there are intangible performance factors always in play. But stats like those that follow suggest what’s to come and help us put it all in perspective.
The stats listed here are all specific to the Walmart FLW Tour, unless otherwise noted.
