Tonight on Fox Sports Net, the “Best Damn Sports Show Period” will rebroadcast the show taped at the Wal-Mart FLW Tour Chevy Open last month.

Tom Arnold, Chris Rose and John Salley joined the world’s top professional bass anglers on the Potomac River when the $7.6 million Wal-Mart FLW Tour rolled into Charles County June 22-25 for the inaugural Chevy Open presented by Kellogg’s. The trio hit the water and the tour’s Family Fun Zone at the La Plata, Md., Wal-Mart Supercenter June 24, where they taped an episode of the FSN hit “Best Damn Sports Show Period.”

Taping of the nationwide cable sports show, which airs weeknights at 10:30 p.m., preceded the tournament’s day-three weigh-in. Arnold, Rose and Salley interviewed FLW Tour anglers and prominent sports figures.
