PITTSBURGH – Tournament bass fishermen are known as exaggerators, and when a $1 million first-place purse is on the line, credible information can be scarce. All week long we heard report after report of brutally tough fishing on the Three Rivers. But on day one of the Forrest Wood Cup, two dozen pros caught five-fish limits – some of them solid in size.

PITTSBURGH – When the Pittsburgh Steelers claimed Super Bowl XLIII by a score of 27-23 over the Arizona Cardinals last February, it wasn't easy. The Pittsburgh Penguins needed every bit of seven games to claim the Stanley Cup from the Detroit Red Wings. The city of Pittsburgh is no stranger to champions, but claiming the richest award in professional bass fishing will be an arduous task.

It's been a long and arduous 2009 season on the Walmart FLW Tour. The anglers are physically and mentally exhausted and those who qualified for the Forrest Wood Cup are scratching and clawing at the brutally tough Three Rivers in Pittsburgh, Pa. For FLW Fantasy Fishing players, the season hasn't been laborious. But that doesn't mean this final week won't be nerve-wracking.

This is just a quick reminder that the deadline to submit your five-member Powerhook roster is tonight (July 22) at 11:59 p.m. Eastern time. Powerhook is a stand-alone game that correlates with the Forrest Wood Cup and has no relation to the previous six FLW Tour events. FLW Fantasy Fishing's regular season has already concluded and the $1 million winner will be announced Aug. 1.

PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. – When Scott Martin came across a series of offshore rock piles in practice, he stopped to investigate. These isolated sweet spots, located on a Missisquoi Bay flat, were loaded with largemouth bass hiding in a mix of healthy grass, and Martin thought they could potentially go the distance. Clark Wendlandt, however, had no intentions of winning the tournament. His sights were set on becoming the first to win three Angler of the Year titles.

PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. – When placid, Lake Champlain is a dream come true for bass fishermen. But when the wind blows, especially from the south, the lake feels like a never-ending rollercoaster. In dangerous conditions, only two pros made the 70-mile run south to Ticonderoga. But the leader stayed up north and caught a nice limit of largemouths.
