A
s if the final weigh-in of the Forrest Wood cup
needed any more excitement, FlW has lined up
country music superstar Dustin lynch to per-
form before sunday’s weigh-in begins. the concert,
which is presented by WDRM – 102.1 FM country, is
free to attend and kicks off at 4 p.m. sunday, aug. 7 at
propst arena in the von braun center.
a native of tullahoma, tenn., lynch is an avid out-
doorsman. he recently sat down with FlW to chat
about his love of fishing.
FLW: We’ve heard that you love the outdoors. Can
you tell us about your fishing background?
Dl: i started fishing with my dad at a young age and
became completely addicted pretty early on because
we would fish a “Monday-nighter” at a lake not far
from my house. When i was old enough to drive i
fished most every evening solo when my dad couldn’t
join. Nothing better than a sunset soft-plastic bite!
FLW: Fishing and country music often cross paths.
Do any of your songs mention going fishing?
Dl: i’ve written plenty of songs that mention fishing
and draw a lot of inspiration when writing from my
time on the lake. however, up to this point no literal
songs about fishing.
FLW: To be successful in music seems to require a lot
of the same traits as success in tournament bass fish-
ing: hard work, dedication, etc. Any chance we’ll see
you on the FLW Tour trail some day?
Dl: i definitely wanted to chase fishing competitively at
one point, but now i’m gonna stick to enjoying it as a
hobby.
