John, I was very much honored by your very thoughtful award. It really blows me away all of you signed it like that and all.
It means a great deal to me and I thank all of you.
You guys make the plugfests what they are much like we all make this website forum what it is as John says. It's a team effort. I'm glad everyone enjoys it so much. It sure has morphed from what it started out as back in 2001 as a lure building get together with lathes spinning,lead being poured, tailhooks being tied and rubba being poured by GS, and Habs and Tattoo offering advice, and the food at every one we've had has been awesome. Salty and Canalman gave me a break for a year in 2004 I think and added those contest plugs and it has been a huge hit ever since, the bar gets raised each year. We seem to outgrow the places we hold it at also. Next year maybe we can get it a little more organized and plan it out ahead of time. I sure enjoyed the day and like how everyone gets inspired and learns new stuff at these events. That's what it's all about. And hopefully you'll all go fish the plugs and maybe even catch some bass on them.
All those mad scientists in one room was amazing. You guys are the best.
