LIVE FROM LAKE MURRAY
There might have been some secrets among the pros fishing on Lake Murray before the Forrest Wood Cup got started, but by the end of day one, most fishing fans were well aware of what was going on in the tournament. That ' s because FLW broadcast all three days of competition via FLW Live. Each day ' s show kicked off at Dreher Island State Park with a special morning broadcast where hosts Chris Jones and Byron Velvick interviewed anglers, local dignitaries and other special guests. Here, fans huddle around the hosts before the final day ' s takeoff. In all, the 2017 Cup was the most viewed championship in FLW history, validating live broadcast as the modern standard for tournament coverage.
