Just got back home.
What a great day! Met alot of great folks from this board, sat in on some great seminars, and got my "Sheild" DVD signed by Dick.
Thanx to Pete for hosting the event, bringing in the talented speakers, having Lori and I as vendors, and for the grub!

Rob, I enjoyed meeting you and Lori today. I'm excited about the two crank baits too. I thought Dick Pearson was really interesting. It was worth the drive from Brookfield. Wish I could have stayed longer.

Kevin

MuskyNightmare Baits are part of the plan.

Drove down from Wausau to just see Dick speak. Always interesting and gets you thinking. I was the guy sitting behind you and Lori. Never have been in the Sportsman before but will stop in again for sure. Nice selection of stuff and a good musky area. Just finished watching Pearson's DVD - now I am fired up. See you all in New London.

Rob and I watched Dick's video tonight, as well. Yes, it has inspired us for the upcoming season!
The event at the Sportmans was a great opportunity to meet more musky anglers. Thank you to Pete and everyone involved!
I'm catching a 50" this year...on the Lolleitta, or a Nessa, well, that is my dream!
Good luck!
Lori

Man, I am so bummed that I had to miss this. I ended up working all day. A customer went down on Friday, and I had a new control system sent in for Saturday delivery. Once the parts came, I thought I could leave for a bit while the electrician rewired the machine. Parts didn't show til noon, and it was too late to get there for Dick's 1:00 PM seminar. I was really looking forward to seeing him again, as well as my fishing friends. Sounds like it was a great turnout.

Made the trip from Pewaukee, and I'm glad I did. Thanks to the folks at Abu Garcia and the Sportsman for putting this show on, well done. Took in the Steve Genson and Dick Pearson seminars. Thanks to both for all the info. Dick spent all day talking Muskies and was very gracious with his time. If you havent had the privilege of seeing Dick at one of his seminars you only have one chance left as his next and final will be at the Minn Muskie Expo. Dick, you forgot more than I know about this crazy sport of Muskie fishing and really appreciate everything you have done for the sport.

Look forward to next year!

BigO told me what color baits to buy from MuskyNightmare and Roger from H20 for Pewaukee Lake. Thanks BigO.

I think your season with the Cincinnati Royals when you had a triple double in every game is the greatest in NBA history.

Kevin

The fishing part of the plan begins on Pewaukee Lake.

Kevin;

Good seeing you there, and it was fun to spend your money for you. Your game plan is a good one especially going out with the Extreme one - Mike Koepp on Pewaukee. I follow his boat around the lake, he leaves me one to catch every once in awhile. See you on the water!

(I wish I was as good at hoops as the original Big O - Oscar Robertson. At 43, there isnt enough oxygen in the gyms anymore when I do play)
