How do you enter the 3-D competition?
Will there be a kids class for the 3-D?

I saw that on the marque out front the other day.

This location is an awesome location for an event like this.

The Hampton, the adjacent facility and the rodeo are all first class properties and very safe.

Sounds like fun.

You are absolutely correct about Brent Chapman, unfortunately he has a prior commitment in Kansas City. However, MESU will be releasing the Brent Chapman Flutter Spoon at the Texas Tackle and Hunting Show. Brent was very hands on in the design of this lure, and he is extremely excited about its release. We will have Lake Fork guide, James Henderson, in our booth most of the weekend, and he will be on the tank Friday evening at 6:30 to talk flutter spoon fishing and answer any questions you might have. We hope to see y'all there!

Guys have you heard yet? 2012 Bassmaster Classic Winner Chris Lane will be at the Show!!! This just happened a few a hours ago!!!

This is going to be an Awesome show!!!!!

That will be very neat. Looking forward to buying some more stuff!

A big thanks to John at MESU baits for enviting me to the show! I'm looking forward to meeting a lot of TFF'ers at the MESU booth so please stop by and say high. I will also be doing a presentation of the new Brent Chapman Spoon in the demo tank, as well as answering any questions about fishing at the booth so come by and talk some fishing with me!
