The FLW Outdoors tournament fishing organization unveiled "Fantasy Fishing" in front of a packed house of media representatives from variety of outlets including The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Business Week, 20/20, Playboy Magazine, PC Magazine, Newsday, and the New York Times during a morning press event at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. EZ New Media produced three videos for the event that were designed to capture the excitement of FLW tournament fishing as well as introduce Fantasy Fishing to the world. While in New York, EZ New Media's Jim Zons also shot video of the press event itself along with "man on the street" interviews with some of the professional anglers in attendance.
"It was really exciting to be a part of this huge event and see the reaction of the media in attendance as some of the prizes were unveiled," said Jim Zons, owner of EZ New Media. "Imagine: someone, somewhere is guaranteed to win a minimum cool $1 million dollars playing Fantasy Fishing ... and they don't even need to know how to fish! If that don't float your boat, I don't know what will!" Zons added.
