In his new single “Love Your Love The Most,” Eric Church sings about fishing - but on Tuesday he proved that he’s more than just talk.

Eric Church and his fishing partners, ESPN's NASCAR correspondent Marty Smith and champion marksman Bill McGuire, won this year's top prize at the Porter Wagoner Memorial Artists & Anglers Fishing Tournament at Percy Priest Lake on Tuesday, June 9th with the team pulling in a whopping 18.43 pounds of bass.

Referencing the line “smallmouth bass have got me hooked” from his current hit, Church laughed, “In just this one instance I’ll allow for a lyric change to 'largemouth bass have got me hooked.' Or maybe we could just say that, right now, I love the whole species.”

With his relaxing (though productive) day on the lake behind him, Church prepares to perform five times in four days, with a performance on the CMA’s Chevy stage Wednesday evening, a mid-afternoon set on the CMA’s Riverfront Stages on Friday June 12, 2009, and three late-night (and sold out!) shows at the Rutledge on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

The album's single, "Love Your Love The Most," has been steadily climbing country charts in recent weeks and the song's music video, shot in New York City, is due out next week. On March 19, Church will be the musical guest on NBC's new late-night program, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Additionally, Church is gearing up for "The Young & Wild Tour," a nationwide tour which opened March 12 in Evansville, IN.

Eric Church "Lightning" video from 'Sinners Like Me':

"I'm both excited and anxious to be embarking on my first headline tour," says Church. "Excited about seeing the fans and playing some music after a four month break, and anxious about being a headliner for the first time. As with everything in my career, I am placing my faith in the people - that they will show up and set the tone for this tour. I believe they will."

As Billboard recently noted, "Church has built his audience the old-fashioned way. He tours. A lot. During the last two years Church has done upwards of 240 dates, opening for Brad Paisley and Dierks Bentley, and he's also toured with Bob Seger." The trade publication also quotes Jay Williams, Church's agent at the William Morris Agency, "For someone at the club level to have this intense a fan base is rare . . . He comes across as honest and true and his fans identify with that." Church has lovingly dubbed his large fan base "the Church Choir."

Newcomers Jonathan Singleton & the Grove and Ashley Ray will join Church at various dates on the tour. Church says, "I can't say enough about Jonathan and Ashley, and their involvement in the 'Young & Wild' tour. They were hand-picked, and the fans will soon know why."

'Carolina' arrives on the heels of the breakthrough success of Church's first effort 'Sinners Like Me', which debuted in the Top Ten on Billboard's country albums chart, landing three Top 20 singles and a #1 video. The album earned Church widespread critical praise from Associated Press, Rolling Stone, People Magazine and The New York Times, which proclaimed, "...it's a strong candidate for country album of the year."

"We are basically bringing an arena-style tour to more intimate settings at a blue collar price," Church explains. "I hope the fans are ready, cause we sure are!"
