FLW PRESS RELEASE
After weighing in 14 pounds, 6 ounces on day three of the
Walmart FLW Tour presented by Jack Link’s on Beaver Lake, Quaker State pro
Scott Canterbury finds himself in a precarious position: the tournament leader.
This is a bit disconcerting for Canterbury because after nine years on Tour, he
has not been able to close out on a win. He has been close and has finished in
just about every spot in the top 10 except first – including two runner-ups in
the Forrest Wood Cup.

Canterbury has been here before – it’s unnerving, but familiar
territory for him. With only a 1-pound, 4-ounce lead going into the final day,
he his well aware of the problems pursuing him in the rearview mirror.
“I’ve got the best in the world behind me – Mr. Beaver Lake,
Matt Arey, and the G.O.A.T. (Greatest of all time) himself Andy Morgan,”
Canterbury says. “Then there is Jeff Sprague who as been catching them every
day. I can’t catch less than 15 pounds tomorrow and have shot at it. The lake
is fishing too well right now. So all I can do is just go out there, go fishing
and do the best I can.”Canterbury’s three-day total for the event is 45 pounds,
7 ounces. He has accrued most of that with a high-speed pitching technique that
involves making more presentations in a day than anyone else and doing it on
water that he has never fished before.
