This week’s program will feature the excitement of the nail-biting final weigh-in, as Scheide and McCall, who lost his mother after the first day of competition, battled it out for the top prize. The shoot-out-style weigh-in further enhanced the drama, as neither Scheide nor McCall, a second-year FLW Tour angler, had an FLW Tour win to his credit.
Castrol pro Dudley, no stranger to the winner’s circle, claimed third in the FLW Tour’s season opener to continue a hot streak that began last September, when he earned $500,000 cash as winner of the 2003 Wal-Mart FLW Tour Championship. Perennial contender Nixon, who hosts an “FLW Outdoors” wrapup show following each tournament, led on day one and finished ninth to add another top-10 finish to his résumé.
