Had the oppertunity to talk with him today while fishing a private lake in Ok. What a great guy and very personable. He was filming a show w/the head northeast marketing rep from Shimano/gloomis. The rep showed me the new shimano cumalus flipping rod that will be on the market very soon and the $550 loomis rod that will be marketed by Christmas. I have a couple of pics of them but I need help loading them on here.

Sorry I can't but I did meet Bob out in Alabama while he was practicing for a tournament. Very nice guy. I wish I could have spent more time but I had to leave.

Here you go!   Like bugsbunny said, we talked to Bob yesterday on the water- NICE PICS BUGS!!! I saw him out there today, too. He was wrapping up filming. He ended the "show" with a nice 7.6 lb'r. He came over and talked with me for about 20 minutes. Very nice guy! He was commenting on how the fish were up shallow and I told him that its about to get much better with the full moon coming up. He said today was his last day at the lake and he is headed back to Ontario, Canada. He then got a grin on his face and looked back at his wife and said, "Honey, how much would a flight cost to come back down here next weekend"!  He was so stoked about this lake....said it was like a gold mine. Like Bugs said, very personable guy and he his down to earth- very nice guy!
