I like the plug building competition, it brings out the best in all that participate... for me, it's not about winning or even having a chance to win, it's about seeing what each participant views as his (or hers) best work.. and that's what it's all about... and I agrre, thye should be made to catch fish...

If I see a plug that I am unfamilure with, I examine that sucker upside down and backward too, I try to see the reason the builder did what they did.. as I'm sure there was a reason for the way they did it... odd things , especialy things i dont fully understand intriuge the hell out of me... I sure wish I got to fondel that plug Paul made...

as far as the Judging, yes maybe there could be a slight change in how it's done, but as I've said before... I just lLOVE looking at the body of work as a whole....

And Joe you were sorely missed this year. Many people asked if you were coming and I especially was dissapointed you were not there.
