9 or 10 am. I don't even like getting up that early to fish or hunt, What time do you go to bed? I can be flexible, I won't have any other plans that day....

[jaysouth]

I will be there on Saturday mid-morning. I got an email from Jeff Smith earlier. He is bringing plenty of bison trout magnets and midnight blue crappie slabs to the show.

Can you also show him how you like to set the hook on a TM like you're pulling back on a 10 pounder that just sucked down a topwater frog into the grass?

Juice, I am also excited about the exhibits. Merv will demonstrate an inexpensive way to locate fish with any old underwater camera.
Here he is seen preparing for the dive.

Lol....is that a dive suit or the original iron man prototype!

[SAMBOLIE]

Lol....is that a dive suit or the original iron man prototype!

Definitely a diving suit rigged for fishing. Notice the gaf on the left hand.

Just do not eat a lot of beans, chili, cabbage, etc before a deep dive.

[XxthejuicexX]

Could be pirate Iron Man. Arrrrr

Is that how Merv makes sure people he takes out guiding catches fish. Drop down, hook em up and yank on the line twice.

[TroutFiend]

Do you fellers know if the seminars cost extra from the door admission? I seen where Chris Snow has a session...

Guys, the wife and I are going to venture to the show around Noon Saturday ... It has been a while since I have attended one ... And yet it seems not to long ago, I hadn't missed one in Decades ...

I would like to meet all of the members of FishingTN especially the new ones That I may have never met ... I will be wearing my Wool Patch Hat , (See Pic) So if you see me wondering around come up and introduce yourself, I would like to meet you ... <'TK>< ;)

PS ... By the way Merv says this is my Sexy Pose :D

[agelesssone]

TK, you just get purtier every day....but I can't believe you still let SAMBOLIE post on this site. I see he's done gone and corrupted that juicie fella.

Well, I guess dummies of a feather flock together.

I had hopes of juicey becoming a valued contributor to this site, but he's already gone to the dark side. No bringin him back now. Once you've drank of the SAMBOLIE juice, ain't no hope for ya.

That is nice striper on the wall, and you are not to bad either ;)
Merv was right. TK, do you keep any of the fishingtn stickers on hand? I emailed you a while back and never followed up with the order for you. If you have one of two on hand I would like to get them from you Saturday if I run into you.

I caught this fish in 2002 in Late June in OH about 5 miles below the 231 bridge . She had already spawned (You can't see her girth do to my hat blocking the view) and was migrating back down stream. Even though I used custom made tackle to get fish in the boat so they survive, This one didn't.. She weighed 54 pounds after spawning out ... This would have been a 60 pounder a week previous ..

This is only the second striper I have ever mounted .. My first was 17 pounder that I caught on JPP in 1973.. This was the first striper I had ever caught ... And in the 70's this was a big fish ... Big for me anyway !! LOL !! <'TK>< ;)

[ThrillSeeker]

I'm stuck in the office until 630 tonight. Me and the boy may go pick up some trout magnets in the morning.

Did Duckworth have a booth there this year?

[XxthejuicexX]

This is the first time I have been in a very long time. I had a good time. Got some stuff from the trout magnet guys and tighten jigs. My wife tagged along so she saved me from spending more money. One vendor had 2 for 100.00 on skeet reese rods and Halo rods, I would have got two Halo's but the wife saved me. I also got to meet some guy too. Randy, good to see you and thank you again. Sambolie, Great talking with you! Mike good seeing you again and it was nice to meet you to Brown. You guys at the TM Booth were busy, Wish I would have got more trout magnets and slab magnets at the price they were, oh well I should be stocked for spring.

[SAMBOLIE]

Had a great time at the show. Ran across an old class mate and a few friends I haven't seen in years. Missed Randy and Mike Dial.
Spent quite a bit of time talking to Lowell and Ed at TM. Met Jeff and Roy. These guys are top notch. Too top notch, in fact. I went to get a 10,000 yd spool of 2# SOS. Ended up also getting the 9' Trinity rod.
Came home and put a reel on it. Got out the 6' ladder and threaded the line through the eyes. I then realized that with all that line running up the rod I needed to put more line on the reel. After re spooling and climbing back up the ladder to thread the eyes I tied on a lure and headed to PP. No fish but man this thing adds distance to the cast and balances great with reel.
Good to meet you Juice. Man, with a wife and son that beautiful I would not leave home without them. Now quit bitching. :)

A great show made for a great day.

[TerryD]

Went to the show today and drooled on some new boats. Now if I can can hit tonight on the Powerball......I will be set!
Glad to finally meet TK and Creekcrappie. Great guys! Also visited Randy at TM booth and got a few trout magnets. They have the best selection and prices of all the vendors there!

[browntrout]

Great to meet all of you guys. Sorry if we were busy and couldnt spend a lot of time with you but it was just crazy to say the least. Thanks for all of your support and we hope you enjoy your new stuff. If for any reason you should have any problems with anything you purchased please let 1 of us know and we will make it right. Also be watching for some BIG news coming out Tuesday or Wednesday. This will be big news for those who like to chase BIG trout and or smallmouth. This has been a project in the works for over 2 years.

Roy

[creekcrappie]

Just got back from the show. It was great to meet/see everyone from the forum. Jon, I just missed you. I saw you walking by and didn't get the chance to say hi. Same with Merv. They had Duckett Macro and Micro magic rods on sale for $100 apiece. I bought three lol. And the Skeet Reese rods were on sale for 2 for $100.

Did Duckworth have a booth there this year?

Yes he did we talked for about 10 min's I have known Jim for years ... ... Like me he has had some medical issues (accidents) and is having to go in different directions ... <'TK>< :(

[Doc Marshall]

I was there yesterday afternoon between 4 and 5 pm. What a great time!

I left the wife and baby at home and brought along my two year old son. These sorts of a events are tailor made for father/son quality time. We played on the boats, ate elk jerky (a first for both of us), and checked out all manner of kayaks and lures.

I stopped by the Trout Magnet booth and met BrownTrout, who kindly hooked me up with the gear I'd been missing. I'm one step closer to figuring out how to use the trout magnets effectively.

I was hoping to see and meet other folks from the forum, but my son's time limit was about 50 full minutes. In order to really stock up for the spring, I would have needed to go alone(!).

All in all, a really great bunch of people out there. Can't wait until the next one. And... gettin' excited about the spring.

[ThrillSeeker]

I got out there today and me and my boy met TCINTN. He's a good guy and gave me some helpful tips.

I talked to Duckworth and Carper, completely blew my $100 budget I set for myself, but we had a great time!

Looking forward to getting on the water and trying out this new combo I got from the trout magnet booth.
