A huge thank you goes out to Mr. Doug Reuter show owner and promoter of the Milwaukee Musky Expo. He did a fantastic job of promoting and advertising the show. Because of his efforts the show was a huge success not only for the manufacturers but I think that all who attended appreciated the amount of vendors, speaker lineup, and great kids day today. THANK YOU DOUG!!!!! Also, thank you to all of you who stopped by the Custom X booth to chat, purchase a lure or two , and buy a rod. Again, without you We could not do what we do. THANK YOU!

I think there was a record number of vendors and guest at the show this year. Tons of kids everyday and a LOT on Sunday. Doug has made such a great event for families and friends. Beer was good too Just a great social event to check out every kind of musky tackle you can imagine and talk with all of the guides, vendors, Operation Musky, Anglers911, Musky Brothers, etc.. I know I talked with a lot of people who drove up to and over 300 miles and they were happy they did.

Thank you kindly, chuck, James for the kind words. Thank you everyone, my sponsors, my show partners, all the media, and most important for everyone who got a chance to come out and join us at the Milwaukee Muskie expo. We have many smiling people from this weekend and looking forward for next year.

February 14-16, 2014 will be our next year's dates.

Again thank you,
Doug

I just happened to be in Milwaukee for another meeting and attended the show on Friday. Let's just say that several of your venders have some of my cash and I walked away with over $800 in bait and tackle. It was my first time at the Milwaukee show and I can assure you it will NOT be my last. Great show everyone!!

Well done, Doug from most every perspective.
It has been quite awhile since both the attendees and exhibitors were this happy with the outcome of a muskie show!
I am especially happy with the weather which I was directly responsible!
Next year, I will turn that responsibility back over to Doug.........don't screw it up!
Good job to all!

This was my first year as a vendor at Milwaukee- it won't be my last! Doug did such a great job and the show was a huge success. He truly understands how to take care of his vendors!

Doug, thanks so much for everything!

Doug Reuter as well as all the vendors and attendees have made this event THE muskie show. The amount of time Doug put into promoting the event was phenomenal! This was also helped with the sharing through many of the vendors. Doug has put in his time and the efforts have showing the pay off!

Job well done Doug.  Bought a two day pass and was not disapointed. All the vendors there, belonged in a MUSKIE show.  Guess what??  I won't be going south of the border any longer.

Jess and I concur with everyone’s sentiments in regards to a job well done by Doug.  It was our first Milwaukee show and the first show I’ve done in many years, and it was a successful one for us.  It was also nice to receive a warm welcome from other vendors as well as guests, we had a great time.

Thank you

As a first time vendor, Doug made sure we were taken care of, from talking to him a year ago about the show, to the set up on Thursday and during the show. A big thanks to him for making our first time a great one and we will be back next year in a full booth!!
