A Day with the Hawks

About 1,400 miles separate Roy Hawk's home in Lake Havasu City, Ariz., from Hot Springs, Ark., but Hawk's path to get to Hot Springs for the 2015 Forrest Wood Cup has stretched far beyond that.

The Western pro's FLW profile shows a career of ups and downs, of trials and errors. He's fished a mishmash of tournaments, from two seasons on the Walmart FLW Tour to Bass Fishing League qualifiers in the South to Rayovac FLW Series events in the middle of the nation to dozens of tournaments in the Western states.

Generally, he's had good success. In 77 FLW appearances, Hawk has earned almost $400,000. He won back-to-back Western Division Rayovac events in 2009. That's why out West, Hawk is known as one of the region's best. Elsewhere, however, he's not yet had that keystone win that's needed to make his a household name in the bass fishing industry.

Maybe that all changes this week.
