I spent most of the day at the John Q. Hammons Center in Rogers for the FLW Outdoors Tour Wal-Mart Open fishing tournament (and the extravaganza provided by).
Before the final weigh-in, they had the Family Fun Zone outside and in with multiple activities and booths set up by various vendors. So I made some wild art out there as shown by the first two frames in this post.
Afterwards, came the NASCAR-style display for the final weigh-in of the top 10 anglers in the tournament. The first-place prize was a $200,000 payout to Mark Pack of Mineola, Texas (last frame). Third place went to Greg Bohannan, the local boy out of Rogers (next to last frame). And I threw in the fifth-place finisher, Matt Arey, just for nostalgic reasons. He's from my hometown of Shelby, N.C.
All in all, I'd say I had fun covering this as it was my first time seeing something like this in person. It's a pretty elaborate production and it'll air on FSN on July 13 and 20, I believe.

You have a line. "She's a fish, and she's a beauty. She's a beauty fish. Fish is a beauty fish." Hey, man, you want some water?
