A FLW event is great. If you have a kid I suggest you take them, the pros and sponsors of FLW treat your kid like a king. My son set in a stratos boat with Larry Nixon for 30 min and pretended to fish. Larry Nixon did not know my son at all but took the time to have some fun with him. I tried to get all the free stuff like Hats, shirts, etc. I got very little but my son got everything. Again, great event to take a kid.
