Title: Ultimate Fishing Show Novi---Dateline: Thursday Night
Post by: Skulley on January 11, 2008, 12:27:52 PM
hello there Sports Fans:

Here it is TGIF and the Show is strong.  I went last night and can already see the improvement.  I saw our Fearless Forum Leader His Honor Dan Kimmel.  He looks a lot skinnier in person than he does on the forum and........he does good seminars.    ;)     

Speaking of seminars, I went to three (3).  Stricker's Hook n Look, Dan's, and Obie Wayne Kenobi......Wayne Carpenter.  Awesome.  All three of them.  So awesome, I took half a vacation day and am out the door here as soon as I finish this post.

I didn't take a detailed look from booth to booth yet to give you an honest opinion of the tackle area as I only went to the booths where I knew people.  I am planning on doing that today.  I am also going to Stricker's seminar.....again, Dan's again, and especially Wayne's again.  They were that awesome.       :o

I did see a few fellas from the forum here.  I saw Garza and met Nitroderrick.  Good to see you as always Jose and nice meeting you again Derrick.  Hope to see a bunch of guys again today and tonight.  Did I say the seminars I saw were awesome............ :o

So...? You say the seminars were awesome?!?

Thanks UAWBigDog. I picked on you a little in the seminars, but I know you can take it. It was a very fun show. Glad I met some more of you there!

I can vouch for UAWBigDog. I saw our fearless forum leader talk myself on Saturday and learned quite a few things. I didn't know he was the speaker I just showed up and was pleasantly surprised to find out Dan was talking! I enjoyed his sense of humor and presentation very much.

Here he is in action:

You can pick on me anytime djkimmel.  I had a great time.  I think everyone had a great time.  It was fun and informative and it is always good seeing and meeting new people.  I finally met LAPORTE on Saturday when I was there with my son.  My son had a great time too. 

Great picture of our Fearless Forum Leader.  Doesn't he look much skinnier in person than he does in that picture???  :o

I think that HAS to be a WIDE screen shot that was compressed vertically or something!! I thought I was taller...

and narrower!?! I know! I'll bet it was shot by a much taller person!!!

Regardless of how much trouble I have turning down a good Mexican dinner, I did enjoy meeting everyone who stopped by and said hi!

I got the same problem you do............can't say no to Mexican food...........or just food in general.  It is my second favorite thing to do after fishing.     ;)
