Got rid of the extra tickets.
Got to Houston at noon. Early was the trick, still not a lot of people there.
I hit the Big Nasty booth, told them I got some Big Nasty's from Micah, they showed me the new ones too.
Hit HR&G, they showed me the HH and gave me some TTF Trout Killers.
Hit TTF and looked at the new Sweet Baby Ray's. They look good. I also checked out the new jig heads with the double hooks. I was the one in the brown shirt who played in the water tub with all the lures. Next time they need a bigger tank like Stunt Grunt.
Hit the Stunt Grunt table. He had a big tank with lures on a line to play around with. Pretty nice. Of all the lures, I think that Hackberry Hustler is gonna be some kinda fish catching sumbeetches.
I took a tackle box survey, no name or phone number, and got $5.00.
Got a couple big really nice Yozuri topwater plugs. They was fine lookin lures.
Got one of them things you put in your ice chest so when you pull the plug, it will drain. Ice and other things won't stop it from draining.
Checked out the new Shimano Crucial. 6'9" with a Core on it weighs just 9 oz. Incredible.
Saw a super fine 19 ft. Triton LTZ. Made me get wood.
Checked out Flounder Pounder booth. Them boys had a couple good lures, but they also had a lot of BULLSHEET with them. I am not sure they even know how to catch a Founder.
Got a Livingston Lures jerk bait that looks and sounds like a Croaker when in the water.
Got some rattles to put in soft plastics.
Got a lot of business cards.
Saw 4 or 5 Big Lake guide booths.
Traffic was great, all the way over there and all the way back.
