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 .
