Scheide, who has been fishing professionally for over a decade, might not look too familiar to fans of the FLW Tour. Lake Okeechobee was Scheide’s first appearance in an FLW Tour event, and his first-place finish has catapulted him into the spotlight. Not only did he finish first, he did it in a landslide, with the closest angler 13 pounds behind. The FLW Tour rookie talks about his early success that has been a long time in the making and how he plans to keep up the momentum during his first year on the tour.
McCall, who had an impressive two-day total of 23 pounds, 1 ounce, was not able to catch up to Scheide’s 36 pounds, 1 ounce, but he was still happy with his second-place finish – his best FLW Tour finish to date – that netted him $35,000. McCall talks about his outlook for the rest of the 2004 season and how he will work to qualify for the FLW Tour Championship in August. Lefebre, a Kellogg’s pro, talks about how he landed a respectable 19 pounds, 7 ounces during the final round at Lake Okeechobee, and he will also discuss his plans for the season.
