| First of all, we want to thank the vendors. If it wasn’t for you, there wouldn’t be a show. We do our best to make this show all it can be and to accommodate everyone so that it is a positive experience and a good time. We enjoy working with each of you and hope that your weekend was a success. The kids rods were a great success and it was a pleasure to see all the smiling faces. This is our future.
We cannot say enough about the boys who worked over the weekend to help the vendors move in and tear down. Austin, Zach, Kevin, Alec, Matt, and Jon, you guys did an awesome job and it is greatly appreciated by all. Numerous vendors expressed to us their appreciation for your help. Great job guys and thank you again.
To McKenzi and Ashley who sat in the raffle booth all weekend….Great Job! You girls were fantastic!
To round out the group, Mike, Jim, Ron and Cody, we cannot thank you enough for your help with all of the extras. Your time and efforts are appreciated more than you know.
Shawn and the group of guys that man the Patriot Center, your efforts to accommodate the vendors and to solve the minor issues as they came up were awesome. You guys work your behinds off and do it all with a smile on your face. Always a pleasure… and thank you.
To the Patriot Center, Tom, Bry and Shawn, working with you is always a pleasure and we appreciate all you did to accommodate us. Thank you.
Our announcer, Mike Michalak, did a great job and we want you to know we appreciate
your time.
Thank you to each of the speakers. The seminars were great and well attended. There was a lot of great, honest information and knowledge shared that people could truly appreciate.
Steve and Sue Worrall and Muskies Outdoors First for getting the word out. Than you for your hard work.
Thank you to Colin Mayfield and the Channel 7 crew for the fantastic coverage of the show.
Craig Sandell, thank you for all that you have done to promote the show and for your work on the website.
Dennis Radloff and Magnum 4 was awesome, (we knew they would be). Thank you for once again being a part of the show! Great guys sharing their talent and great music!
A THANK YOU TO ALL who attended and came to enjoy this event with us. We enjoyed talking to you and sharing all the musky tales…..As we all know, you never get tired of a good fish story! Looking forward to seeing everyone back in 2014!
**A special note, someone lost a bag that had Chaos Tackle Medussa’s in it. If you contact us and tell me how many and what colors, we will gladly ship them to you. We feel bad that someone spent money on these and lost them.
A HUGE THANK YOU TO ALL! RICH AND PENNY

Location: Central WI | This was the first musky show I've been to and I was really impressed. With it being a 'smaller' show I wasn't sure what to expect, but there were lots of vendors and plenty of things to spend money on  I'll be back next year. |

Location: Palm Coast, FL | Rich and Penny...you guys are amazing! From a vendor perspective you bent over backwards for many so that everyone's experience was the best possible! Your hospitality was above and beyond! I can't wait for next year. I already have plans on a new custom rod build that has not been done before! If you thought the Mr. Toothy was bad...just wait as I will top it!
From an attendee perspective you gave them every choice imaginable in the muskie industry from speakers, to tackle and gifts. Also, the Geiss meat counter was another hit as I went home with a big box of their fine products!
James did a wonderful program with the kids rods...thanks to TI also! |

Location: Land of the Musky | X10 to Rich and Penny. What a great musky show for family and friends. Beer cart ladies were great in the afternoon and the Sunday kids day was fantastic. For the Tackle Industries kids rods, the vendors deserve all the kudos on that. We just made the rods and all the participating vendors chipped in and helped pay for the production of the rods. Great to see competing companies band together as a musky community for the kids.
Great show!!!
