You're KILLIN' me Ali...JUST KILLIN' ME

!!! LOL!!!
Believe me...these guys need no encouragement to bust this thing out one more time!!! It's like a gunfight as between Firstwatch, RobE and Wideopen to post it

. Ah well...with friends like these....
Roger - great to see you. I'm serious...I want my hooping debut to be a trip with you diving and planting huge bugs in the hoops. Then I'll declare hooping to be a no-brainer and retire my hoops after one trip.
Everybody should stop by John King's Afishinados booth (where that pic is obviously). He's got some great stuff and he and Karen are too much fun to hang with. He's got the Capture The Flag tournament sign up going again. Month long tourney for our six premier local species (WSB, YT, Calico, Barrie, Bones, Butts). Lots of fun. Met RazNKane at the show who threw down the challenge and is entering! I hate to say it but defending my sidepot crown...could get ugly. Particularly if a "real stick" like Sternhog enters. Was good to see Mike aka Sternhog at the Show...he was looking real focused over at the Davis Boats booth....
Met lots of friends at the show and also connected lots of faces with "on-line" folks. As always, it was a blast to hang with my Team DH buddies!
Saw Josh Temple at the show...he's building an empire and deserves to do it as hard as he works. He said my 239lb YFT was the last cow they had although they've picked up good 150lb plus fish lately.
It was a GREAT time but I didn't really focus on the show itself. Maybe will have to get back there this weekend.
