I had the honor of meeting Mr Kimmel and Bsimpson at the show today. Nice to put a name with a face.

Also stopped and bought 7 new Ram Crainkbaits. Some were new colors and were they sweet.

Any body fill their tackle boxes this weekend?

Dave,

It was very nice meeting you as well.  I did manage to buy some stuff this weekend for the tackle box,  although I have to say the chocolate covered potato chips I found there were surprisingly good!

I bought some fishing stuff but... MMMMmmmmmmm.....Bacon cheese!

Nice to meet you too. We got to talk to lots of people about all kinds of things. I even got to feel a bunch of bass on the end of my line for a few seconds thanks to the Hawg Trough!
