I second Rick's comments. The way the whole shidig was put on I was sure this had been going on for years and after talking with Tim Bromund found out this was the innaugural event.
HATS OFF and MANY KUDOS to the LOTSA organization and members who were involved. The food was spectacular too and VERY reasonably priced. Thanks guys for not "Raping" us on the food prices so we had more cash to spend on the tables.
A great day, great events and great buys.
I was thrilled to finally put a face to some of the names from this forum and some others who don't frequent the forum. I met people I never expected to see there too. As usual the faces were totally off base with the mental image I usually get from a name and comments Please don't be offended if I forget someone:
Ray K, Yankee Troller (again), Mark - Reel Jerks and Unkel Jerry(?) the guy with the "sexy" legs in most of Marks videos, Alan and Mikell (thanks for the great rod and I think I stole that from you), Jason - nice seeing you again - hope the weather breaks so you can get that floor finished, Kevin Jerge, Eric Marcinkowski (my "other son") - good luck with the new boat, Werner (Popeye), Brian Garrett (Tall Tails), Unkeljim and Reelaxin, Lou - drlfc, Tom Kilmer - TomKatt, and Greg and Doug - PlayPenn.
Already looking forward to this event next year!!!
