Fun event with alot of everything. I look up and see BASS Royalty - David Fritz, High School and College kids manning booths and even at the opening it was crazy busy. Well worth the effort to go and nerd out, reminded me of being a kid again.

Me and my 3 year old went, very fun experience. Very cool to see Hank Parker and all the other legends as well as some of the better elite and mlf guys not fishing it . Seems like the world of bass fishing has completely changed in the last 5 years. Hard to keep up with all these trends and hard to financially justify it. But awesome to spend some tie with my son, if you have little ones bring a stroller or something cause it’s a lot of walking! And snacks!

It's been crowded this afternoon. Really laid back atmosphere too.

My wife and I went and it was AWESOME! Actually got to chat with Rick Clunn for a bit. Bucket list item checked on that one. Beau Browning couldn’t have been nicer. Mark Perry, you were absolutely right…we loved it! Got some cool stuff and walked out happy. What a fun time.

I was at the one where they debuted the SonicSide (guntersville maybe?) and was in awe.

It was a great time. Ran into some friends. Had a brief chat with Jason Christie. Really nice guy. I'm not big on chatting it up with the pros to be honest. I just do my thing.... Could not believe how wide the Ranger Z518's were for a 19 footer. With a 200 Pro XS to boot. Sweet boat.

Went for a few hours today. Probably really only saw about 25% of it. Didn't know they moved the Expo and paid $35 to park at the Arena. Only to leave 5 minutes later and drive across town.

Great time indeed! Took my grandson, had a spectacular time. pictures with ike, johnathon, hank, g-man, right on down the line. Stale cracker dude was a hoot also. Slade was at the humminbird booth and was very informative. Free rod and reel for my grandson, hats, kouzies, tee shirt signed by 20 of the top pros on the planet, absolute perfection. Don't miss it if you can go!!

Where’s the best place to park for the expo? Does the convention center have its own designated parking?

Yes, the convention center has its own parking and it is right across the street. $20 to park there.
