Well I must say, I was blown away (pun?) by the whole festival.

Salty - I know we may never settle our differences but I have to say you and Larry did a truly incredible job. So I wanted to thank you both personally for putting together the perfect plugfest

Now to the other thank you's

Tagger - Thanks for the Bottle Darter I can't wait to fish it.

Eben - That needle will be destroyed by years end (or lost :laughs: )

Stripersniper - Nice meeting you and SWEET pluggage man :btu:

MAC - Thanks for the colaborative pikie I hope you enjoy yours.

LINK (JR and SR) - You guys are awesome, thanks for the jigs and as I said before I have some more plugs with your names on them.

It was great to see everyone and and the bar is clearly being lifted every year, couple more years of this and the tackle industry is going down :D.

Finally - Thanks for voting me the winner of the Home Competition I was totally floored that I won and a new lathe is on its way to my house as we speak.

Its quite obvious that everyone had a great time. Congrats to all the winners at the show and a big :btu: to John R, Scott. Larry & everyone that helped make it possible. The friendships that have developed on this board are what this is all about. Its also really good to see some younger plugbuilders to be also attended.
