I really wish that I could be there fellas. I'm moving my girlfriend out to CO tomorrow and wont be back till Tuesday. I was really hoping to make it because I wont be back to the midwest during show season for a few years. Maybe Colorado will go crazy with their tiger stocking and Ill have some shows to look forward to out there. From what Ive heard though, Ill be in the minority with the muskie fishing. Hopefully the elitist mentality of the fly fisherman wont be nearly as bad as I have heard it is. Have a few cocktails for me.

Justin...
You won't be able to find any of the bags on the internet. They were bags that Academy produced under a licensing agreement with Okuma. They are no longer selling them and we have a few left over from a few years ago. They will hold 5 of the 3760 style boxes or 8 smaller boxes that the bag comes with. there is ample storage for pliars, hook cutters, lure retriever, camera, etc... Great for using if you are in someone elses boat. They retailed at Academy for $79 and are very good quality. If you are not one of the lucky winners, contact me if you want to buy one. If I have any left, you can buy one for $40 (that includes shipping).
Here's a picture of what I carry in my bag. The boxes hold about 40 of my swimbaits I use for Largemouth.

Took me a while, but I have all the Lax entry pics on the laptop, and will run a slideshow during the swap at the Midway Saturday. Man, that is one awesome collection of big muskies.

I got a box of my Muskynightmare crankbaits i found in the basement i forgot I had. Blowing them all out for $3.00 each, or $40 for the entire box, at the swap. There are better than 30 baits in there.
