Big Fred gearing up for 2008 FLW Tour season
December 10, 2007
The 2008 FLW Professional Bass Tour is set to kick off in February and our man, Big Fred Contaoi of Orange County Choppers, will be there rearing to go.
Big Boy learned a lot during his rookie campaign and heads into his sophomore season with a lot of confidence.
He ended the 2007 season on a high note, with a strong finish at Clear Lake in October, where he landed the biggest fish of the tournament and placed 15th.
His “off-season” has been spent honing his skills and working with sponsors. He also just took part in NASCAR driver Ryan Newman’s Charity Bass Tournament in North Carolina last weekend.
Fred’s new webpage, BigFredFishing will be up soon and will feature all kinds of cool tips, tactics and maybe even a tour journal.
This season, Fred will participate in select FLW Series events across the country in addition to his Tour events.
Be sure to check back here for Big Fred updates throughout the year. I’ll also keep you abreast of his TV schedule for American Chopper and whatever else he finds himself on!
