Have a great time there and make sure you go to the IGFA Hall of Fame and next door to it The Bass Pro Shops store, it's huge, more fishing stuff than you'll see in a lifetime:eek:

The Hall of Fame is pretty cool too, lots of history and the Records room has fish hanging from the ceiling of actual record catches.

Those 2 are a must see for anyone who loves fishing.

ive been checking out the igfa museam online and ill be sure to go there and the bass pro shop
