So what did you get at the Chicago Show/Swap?

I ended up leaving with a TON of lures. I'll post pictures and stuff when I get home later.

Things to look forward to next year...
More seminars, lure swap, after party, and Mike Witowski's disappearing/reappearing acts.

Thanks to all that bought the bump boards in the LLUNGEN/Musky Armor booth. They are, for sure, the best bump board on the market right now when it comes to price, convenience, and durability. Let me know how you guys do with them throughout the year and if you have any problems and I'll take care of you.

It was nice meeting some of you from the site and to those who are a little shy, I understand. I'm the same way!

The deals were there, and a lot of sweet baits were there to be had, but in the end I went home with very little. The weekend was cool, unfortunately I had to disappear Sunday for reasons I won't mention.

And of course besides all the lures, seminars, familiar faces, I too must say the Mike Witowski disappearing/reappearing ( always with a beer in hand :) ) was truly a highlight as well

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm sick of looking at baits and am ready to actually fish; ▶ Reply to This

I left the show with less money than I arrived with, and several lures. It was packed, and at times, hard to look in some of the vendor areas. But, it was a blast, and only made the fever that much worse.; ▶ Reply to This
