Check this out. Last month, at the registration meeting for the Detroit River FLW Tour, FLW Outdoors president and CEO Charlie Evans told the field that the company will expand its Fantasy Fishing Program in 2008. It appears that the winning Fantasy payouts will closely mirror the winning pro payouts for the FLW Tour. Nope, that' not a typo. FLW Outdoors will reportedly award $100,000 to the Fantasy winner for each Tour stop (perhaps more for Opens), and potentially $1 million at the 2008 Forrest Wood Cup. An FLW Outdoors official did confirm that Evans announced the Fantasy expansion, and that a full announcement is expected in October, but declined to elaborate further.
