I would like to thank everyone for their support. The vendors, attendees, seminar speakers and friends and family that help put the Ohio Muskie Show on. The 2011 show was the busiest yet, with attandance up 33%. As long as everyone keeps supporting the show it will continue to happen. Mark your calenders for the 2012 show, as the dates will be moving to January 27th, 28th and 29th. (Now what is Tony Grant going to do for his birthday) Thanks again, rumor has it that some baits bought at the show, already have some teeth marks in them....

Ross, I think we should be thanking you (and your staff) for yet another great show.
The show was packed all day Saturday and the 300 seat seminar room was "standing room only".
It was great to see old friends.
It was nice to meet Rich and Chris Newman(Newman Lures), and Brian Meszaros(Great Lakes Flyfishing).
As usual, the speaker line up was top notch and I really enjoyed listening to Gregg Thomas and Tony Grant speak.
I can't wait to see what you have planned next years show,
~~Greg

that was me with the eleven fish on the twisted tulibee. Can't wait to try out the mag version. It was a really good show and got just about everything I wanted. I passed up on a Ernie due to the long line at r&h then when I got back they were completly out of ernies. Great show and the food was really good too. If it keeps growing a bigger venue may be needed.

"rumor has it that some baits bought at the show, already have some teeth marks in them...."
that is hard core, somebody must have found open water and put their new baits to the test, how cool is that?
really awesome!

Awesome seminar, Mike, it had it all - midget jokes, great questions by 9 year old kids, and musky fishing info. Hard to beat.

Glad you enjoyed my seminar CatchandRelease! Thanks for attending! One thing that I really enjoy is speaking to the masses about Musky fishing and sharing some of my personal information that helps me along the way...and if I can make a few jokes and make people laugh....well even better!!! See ya there next year!!!!
