Big thanks to OutdoorsFIRST Media for keeping those of us not fortunate enough to attend the show connected. This is as close as I can get to the action, so please keep the pictures and videos coming.

Can somebody do some pictures of Fittante Replicas?
Thank-you
Muskyflo, I am sure it will be cool to see the pictures, but I have seen pics of Fittante and Lax re-pros before, and I have to tell you that after seeing them in person today that I have never seen a picture that does even remote justice to the thing in person. The detail was simply stunning, and both of those guys had some incredible pieces out there.
Steve, I think I saw you hiding behind a Tuffy trying to eat some lunch. I wanted to say hi, and tell you how much I enjoy your site, but it looked like you were taking a break. That nice little Tuffy tiller (17' I think??) that was about $16k looked like a lot of boat for the money. I assume that is not fully rigged with trolling and electronics? Doesn't really matter as I can't afford a boat payment in this economy anyway!
My only complaint about the show is how crowded it was for a while - hard to move through the crowds. Seminars alone were worth the price of admission though.

tranx is the real deal. this real will change musky fishing and burning 10's. if you can palm a 400te you should have no issues. the thornes boys won the burning contest using one and a curado. the deep phantoms are not out yet. show numbers seem down over years past.

Thanks for the update. I would bet the economy/high gas prices have slowed attendance if that's the case. Did you have a chance to try either of the TranX models?
