Explains alot when Youtubers have longer lines than the KVD. Yep..... were doomed as a society and destined to fail miserably at some point.

I was there yesterday and the show was packed. Crowds are getting bigger every year. The Q&A with Hackney and Lucas was great. Lots of new tackle companies. A special congratulations to long time RHBC members Russell Olds and Matt Jackson who were there with their new line of Illustrious Action Baits. Their booth was full the entire time we were there and everyone seemed to be buying something. Well done gentleman! Thanks to Jeff and Monte and everyone at FNS for a great time.

Explains alot when Youtubers have longer lines than the KVD. Yep..... were doomed as a society and destined to fail miserably at some point. I'm not into their videos myself but also am not a hater of what they do. Not my thing but it does not have to be either. How many kids do you think they are turning on to fishing? At the end if the day who are they really hurting? I saw a lot of kids of all ages wearing their gear that were beyond excited. Talked to the kids all day as they walked into tackle section. All were downright excited about fishing and you could see it and hear it as they talked. Not sure I can personally find something wrong about that. A lot of us working the show stood around stunned at it all. Someone mentioned they have almost 800,000 followers. I don't know what that means in terms of social media but I am smart enough to figure out 800,000 is a lot. After what I witnessed today some of you guys might be laughing at them but I bet they are laughing all the way to the bank. Not defending them or trying to call anyone out. Just sharing what I observed today. Definitely was an eye opener for ne.

I was fishing today, and wouldn't get an autograph anyways. I did get one from Alton jones with my uncle, he won the lake Waco cast tournament with Alton and had the picture autograohedZ It is funny to see all you guys that bashed this Guy and to see him run a successful business and have almost a million followers is pretty remarkable

I much rather sit around and watch those guys than just about anything else on TV. Its like hunting and fishing reality TV. Lake Fork Guy(LFG), seems to be a good guy, family man, good fisherman, and entertaining. Lunkers Tv, he is a Vet, does lots of fishing, shoots lots of rifles, and also hunts. Its good entertainment. Not sure if Lake Fork guide was there but he is also great youtuber to watch.
Thats my 1c worth.

WAWI how did it go? On a serious note the line to meet those guys had a couple hundred people in it at all times for well over 6hrs. I have pictures....FnS is a huge store and that line was huge and stretched all the way across the store all day. They sold probably well over 100 of the Favorite rods and sold what seemed like 1000 hats and shirts. I have worked and attended many BASS events and Classics. I have never seen a line so long to meet any angler like I have today...KVD included. The crowds today were stunning for those guys. I am being serious. Other attendees will back this up. People can joke and make fun of these guys all they want but they have a following lime I have never seen in fishing. Not all were kids either. I hate to admit but I was working the Illustrious Action booth all day and I still don't know exactly what the line was for but I have never seen anything like it. It actually worked out pretty good since it moved so slow to show people our products but it lasted most of the day. Unbelievable.

A person may not like Justin Biebers music but there is no doubting his success or popularity. Its just different strokes for different folks. I kinda like that Hickok45 guy but I sure dont think Id make a special trip to see him somewhere.

My nephew and his buddies are starting High School next year and will be on the fishing teams. We went to the seminar and all they were interested in was to meet I think his name was Johnny B and a few others. That was it, just had to meet these guys. It was nice to see some old faces and catch up and BS with KJ and few others. I also crawled all over the 921 and really gave it a hard look. Very nice rig. Maybe just maybe.

I for one miss the tackle shows. You get to see a lot of people you do not get to see too often. Socialize and shooting the _____ is much more fun in person, IMO.
This was the first time I have attended FNS's tackle show, but will not be thier last.
Thanks Monte and crew!!

I had a great time as well stopping by with my brother on Sat sfternoon and met some nice folks. A lot of their reg prices on hard baits are cheaper than WallyWorld plus the colors selections X10. Been hanging around that store for fishing tackle for a loooong time and they are always friendly and ready to give good info. Cant wait til the next one.
