BassFan previously reported that FLW Outdoors would expand its fantasy fishing program in 2008, with prizes that largely mirror those of the FLW Tour. Below is what FLW Outdoors chairman Irwin Jacobs said about the program while onstage at the recent Forrest Wood Cup.
Jacobs: "I have a special message to give to you (the Hot Springs audience) and the rest of world out there. Next year, not only will we give $1 million to someone on the stage, we're (also) going to give away $100,000 in every single tournament of the FLW Tour to someone at home, or to you in the audience, and $1 million in cash at the end of the season, at the same time we pay $1 million onstage.
"Someone who doesn't fish (the Forrest Wood Cup) is going to win a million dollars. All I'll leave you with is, it's going to happen."
Jacobs added: "We'll be putting out a complete program for next year, either in late October or early November. Everybody's going to want to know, 'What do I have to do?' You don't have to spend a dollar, if you don't want, to win $1 million. Wait to see what happens. I think you'll enjoy it."
