WITH CUP CROWD
SEEN & HEARD
the 2016 Forrest Wood cup
provided just the sort of laid-
back atmosphere that country
music star dustin lynch enjoys.
lynch, who posed with a few
dozen fans prior to his perform-
ance for the weigh-in audience
sunday, was reared just up the
road from huntsville in
tullahoma, tenn.
lynch told a reporter that if
he hadn’t pursued a career in
music, he probably would be
involved in the hunting and fish-
ing industry.
the concert was presented
by Wdrm – 102.1 Fm country.
“Fish it right, and a swimbait is like the antelope that breaks off from the herd when the lions get after
them. He’s th e one that they’re going to go after.” – Byron Velvick, in his Expo seminar on swimbaits.
