    It's a whole different world for sure. I might try and make the next gathering in the spring at Lake Fork.

    I've been focused on trophy hunting/big baits for years now. I have seven custom swimbait rods from Brad at F5, awesome rods and Brad has been great to work with. The big swimbait game can get very expensive....

    They are special folks for sure it looks like they edited this ad after the fishing meme pages got ahold of it. It used to say estimated value 30k.

    The boat raffle is Swimbait Underground, the Swimbait Universe Gatherings are two different organizations.

    Best part about The Gathering (4 I think)is guys will be flipping otherwise impossible to get baits they picked up.They start showing up on the forums in couple of weeks. The BIG downside is they sell at 100% or more profit. And people are all over them.Don't ask me how I know
