A new sport to Europe, the FLW Tour showcases bass fishing – America’s big money outdoor sport that has evolved into a major attraction over the past decade.
Sporting a total purse of over $10 million, the tour takes place on huge lakes across the USA as up to 200 anglers fish from boats, using lures to trap the elusive bass.
Anglers are allowed to present a maximum of five fish for the weigh-in and they select these from a live well on their boat where caught fish are stored. Following qualification, there is a cut and the field is whittled down to the ten leading anglers and top prizes big as $1,000,000 are on offer for the victorious fishermen.
