FLW OUTDOORS RADIO TALKS TO FLW TOUR CHAMPIONSHIP QUALIFIERS

DALLAS (Aug. 5, 2004) — Listen to “FLW Outdoors Presented by Wal-Mart” online or on the air this Sunday as host Keith Lebowitz is joined by Fox Sports Net’s Barry Stokes to interview two qualifiers for the 2004 Wal-Mart FLW Tour Championship presented by Castrol, which is scheduled to take place Aug. 11-14 on Alabama’s Logan Martin Lake. The top 48 pros from the FLW Tour will compete for the largest guaranteed cash award in tournament fishing at the championship. Talking about the upcoming event will be two Texans: Yamaha pro Takahiro Omori of Emory, who has qualified for his fifth FLW Tour Championship, and pro Sean Hoernke of Magnolia, who is making his first championship appearance. Rounding out the lineup will be regular guest and Ranger pro-staff guide David Vance.

Omori, who won the Bassmaster Classic last Sunday, is seeded 11th heading into the championship and will face Mark Rose of Marion, Ark., who is seeded 38th in his first championship appearance. Omori will talk about how he came to the United States from Japan to become a professional angler.

Hoernke, who is seeded 16th heading into the championship, will go head-to-head with Jimmy Millsaps of Canton, Ga., the 33rd seed. He will talk about how his practice-fishing has been going on Logan Martin Lake as well as his strategy for the championship. Vance, known as one of the best guides in Texas, will share with listeners the hot spots for fishing in the Lone Star State in the dead heat of summer.
