    BBC'er hospitality

    Good morning guys! Just wanted to take a minute to talk about the great guys of BBC. Have now made two trips to the western US from Chicago in the last couple years. Had the wonderful opportunity to go out on lakes in Nevada and Colorado thanks to the generosity of guys that I just had casual conversations with about the bass fishing in their respective areas. How cool is the bass fishing community and those of us that share this passion! Thank you Al for the website and the forums that allowed this to happen. Amazing, picturesque fisheries that I never would've had the chance to see/fish if weren't for BBC! Hope to be able to give back at some point (though, really, who wants to experience IL fisheries, LOL). Milehibird and I talked about the site and the guys and the fun and the increased knowledge that we get to share here. Thanks all!! Tight lines and bigguns!!

    I've been able to meet up with several BBC'er over the years and have stayed in contact with several of them. They are all great people but one of them needs to change the hooks on some of his baits.....

    I usually step up and take someone from out of town if they ask. Met some good guys and they got a good day on the water.
