Well as the sports show season comes to an end I have to ask, where is the excitement? Years ago there was a buzz around the Northwest Sports Show, this year there just wasn't as much rah, rah.
I wonder, is it the internet that has slowed the shows? We get to see everything the second it hits the market, no waiting, and no wanting. With a click of a button the new bait is on the way. Perhaps that is killing some of the excitement. Perhaps it is the endless sales that run up to the shows. Gander, Cabela's, Bass Pro and every tackle website on the net are having sales and many of us are attending these events. If we have a question it will get answered before we ever get to downtown Minneapolis or where ever your show of choice is.
I still feel the show is important to the industry but I feel we as an industry need to find a new way to put our shows out to the public. I am open to ideas if anyone has one! LOL
A fellow rep made a great point at the recent Northwest Show, he commented on what seemed to be a huge age gap. There just doesn't seem to be very many 15 to 30 year old's walking the show. I hope we can come up with a way to change that trend.

Velvick Wins Clear Lake Event!
Way to go Byron! I for one will look past the bachelor and say you are a GREAT fisherman and say congrats!
Byron won the event on a Jerry Rago swimbait. I am very impressed by the whole deal and wish that I could better understand the whole swimbait deal. I have tried and tried but guess what, haven't got it done.
Swimbaits are the rage all over the country and I just haven't seen any success on them in my part of the country. Perhaps after this event and when my state's ice clears I will try them again.
If I do, I will keep you in the loop.

Hey Skeet, You need to be a Professional!
I am sure most of you are not like myself that lives and breaths bass fishing, but for those that do I am sure you are aware of what is called BassCast. It is a video feed that is put in the back of two BASS Elite Anglers per day and you can follow them online. Kind of a cool deal.
Well today 3/21/2010 the final day of the Clear Lake Elite Tournament they are following Skeet Reese and Brian Snowden. Around the 10:46 mark Skeet comes along some fellow anglers and they appear on the feed to ask how he is doing. His response, "Might be doing better if you wouldn't fish here."
The fisherman in question don't appear to have any idea who he is or what the Elite tour is. I understand when pro fisherman get upset with guys that steal a spot that know exactly who they are and what they are doing. This appears to be some people in a boat that don't have any idea that they might be effecting his day. Skeet, try a little class once!
I watch most weight in days online (espn 360) and I for one am sick of Skeet Reese's attitude. Most fans love him because they see him when things are going well for him, and miss the days that he is having bad tournaments. During the days when he is having a great day he is professional, fun and likable but when things are not going his way and the ESPN Bassmaster cameras aren't running he acts in an unprofessional way.
For those that saw it there is no denying that Skeet Reese acted unprofessional because he lost to John Crews by an Ounce in his home state during the Delta Tournament. Well tough, fish better, don't blame John Crews or act like CA owes you something.
Skeet, I am sorry but you need to act more professional. You owe the sport that! You are an amazing fisherman and one of the best doing it today but the sport, the fans, and the fish don't owe you anything! You owe it to us to act more like a professional!

Go Byron Go!!!!!!!!
Byron Velvick is leading the Clear Lake Elite tournament after 3 days and I for one am willing to stand up and say GO BYRON GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You can hold a stupid opinion of him because of the Bachelor show but if you do you don't understand fishing. This guy can flat out catch them! I don't care how he looks, acts or how much gel he uses in his hair, the man is a stud fisherman!
I have stated on many chat boards over the years and even on this blog, the man won the US Open TWICE, not an easy tournament to win. If fact Rick Clunn has called that the toughest tournament in the country to win and Byron has won it TWICE! If you don't know about this tournament spend some time looking it up. Some beasts in the tournament world have won this thing and some studs have bombed fishing it.
I hope he blows the doors off this thing today!
