I was shut out last night. The kicker was the No ho sign on Tagger stuff. I was planning to go to my car and get my drill and pop the case and put a card saying thanks for the plug.

Great work guys.
She told me I'm not allowed to touch them and she wants her own section in the shop to hang them.

Indians used to give gold nuggets to each other as gifts until Whitey taught them that they were worth money.

Felicia made out way better than I. I even owe her one. Hopefully I won't die from this plague I have right now. I wore out my voice yesterday and woke this morning feeling like I got hit by a bus. Glad it waited a day as I knew it was coming. I also didn't get to ho the guy with the most plugs, Rockfish. Just never got the time to persuade him. Joe maybe we can do a trade by mail.

Nice meeting new guys, and putting faces to the names. Nice seeing some of the cutty crew, The Dad Fisherman, Ross, JohnR, Thanks Slipknot, from Jenna......my favorite part was the air brush demo. got some great tips from Larry. (in case you were wondering i was the lovely assistant that held the plug in place while you applied the tulle), hey he said it not me. Larry someone told me to hold out for a plug from you for helping I'm definitely entering next years First year plug builder category, feet into the fire as vic was saying. got alot of great info... had a blast. Thanks for the invite MikeCC. you're about as good as they get. and a great family to boot. The wife said it best as we were leaving, What a great bunch of guys!!!!!

BBJake, i forgot the kilz at home,... i can swing it by if you'd like. sorry about that.

I got a bunch, I'll try to post a picture later
I tried to make a deal with you for that one plug but you only wanted cash, I forgot you only fish your own plugs so you wouldn't need any slip plugs.

ATG Ho's jigs for plugs

KC has taken ATG Jr under his wing and was quite successful on the Ho'age front. He ho'd a bunch of bonito jigs for wood.

My 5 year old actually refused to trade with adults and only wanted to trade with kids. Thanks to KC, Austin and Sean for watching him on the Ice and taking him around. He had a blast!!!!!
