Harwood Man Wins $5,000 Playing FLW Fantasy Fishing
MINNEAPOLIS (Feb. 18, 2016) – Ryan Thornton of Harwood, Ontario, Canada, accumulated the most points of any player in FLW Fantasy Fishing after last week’s Walmart FLW Tour event on Lake Okeechobee. Thornton selected a team of 10 anglers who competed in the actual tournament and earned his points based on their performance. For his win, Harwood earned $5,000 and became an early frontrunner to win the season-ending $10,000 grand prize.
“It feels great to win this kind of money playing Fantasy Fishing,” said Thornton. “I never really thought I’d be able to do it.”
Thornton said he primarily used the FLW website to conduct research for his team.
“I looked through a lot of angler profiles and searched for pros that had good streaks on Lake Okeechobee,” said Thornton. “It didn’t take me long to gather the information I needed.”
Thornton went on to say that a couple of his picks were based on real-world experiences he’s had with some of the Canadian anglers on the FLW Tour.
“I picked brothers Chris and Cory Johnston because I fish against them all the time up here in Canada,” said Thornton. “They’re the guys to beat up here. They catch them anywhere they go.”
Thornton’s team was tied for the win with second-place finisher John Deak of Phillipsburg, Ohio. Thornton broke the tie by guessing a weight closest to the actual tournament winning weight from the Lake Okeechobee event. Deak earned $1,000 for his efforts.
Several other winners from across the globe took home prizes including cash, ShopFLW gift cards, hats and baits.
The 2016 Fantasy Fishing season consists of seven tournaments surrounding the Walmart FLW Tour regular season as well as the season-ending Forrest Wood Cup, the world championship of bass fishing. Fans compete for more than $7,000 in cash and prizes from each of the six tournaments and a top prize of $5,000. The cumulative grand prize for the highest ranked player at the end of the season is $10,000.
To begin playing, visit FantasyFishing.com and sign up. Select a team of 10 anglers against an allocated $200 salary cap and select your guess for the tournament winning weight as a tiebreaker.

Introducing the Cutter 90+
It won’t be long before the boys of summer will be taking the field for spring training all around the country, and you can bet major league pitchers will be mixing a “cutter” in to their pitching arsenal.
Thanks to the guys at Berkley, now you, too, can throw a Cutter this spring! The new Berkley Cutter is a revolutionary new jerk bait that sets a new standard for pre-spawn fishing. Available in three models (90, 110, and Skinny 110), the Cutter series was designed to cover every aspect of jerk bait fishing.
The Cutter 90+ is a 3.5” suspending jerk bait that weighs in at 3/8 Oz, allowing you to cast with ease thanks to the internal weight system no matter what conditions you may encounter on the water.
Whether fished with the traditional jerk/pause cadence, ripped, burned or just reeled in using a standard retrieve, the coffin shaped bill of the Cutter 90+allows for maximum action with minimal rod movement, as well as forcing the bait to its desired depth quickly. The result: less fatigue after a long day on the water.
With twelve eye catching colors and armed with super sharp Fusion 19 treble hooks, the Cutter 90+ is just about perfect right out of the package.

It’s Time for a Pointer
Lucky Craft pros Skeet Reese, Kelly Jordon, Joe Thomas, and Brent Ehrler demonstrate how to fish with the Pointer. The POINTER has been designed with a very low center of gravity through the use of special brass weights. The low center of balance causes the lure to wobble and vibrate whenever the retrieving motion is stopped. The POINTER will suspend 4 -5 feet deep and will emit an intriguing bass-calling vibration, while in the suspended state. A short twitch of the fishing rod will generate the “Walk the Dog” action under the water. (Video footage by Reel in Outdoors, Tom Leograde, Classic Pattern)
