    At the KC Sport Show

    Drove up to the Kansas City Sport Show with my wife on Friday. We arrived just in time for Jay Yelas' 4 p.m. seminar. Met up with Rodney Bledsoe - he is the man!! We'd probably still be looking for a parking place if he hadn't told me about the underground parking garage. There have been a TON of changes since the last time I'd been to Bartle Hall. Rodney also saved up a couple of seats in the front row!!

    Anyhow, we really enjoyed Jay's seminar. We got a chance to chat with Jay after the seminar and take a couple of pictures. Jay mentioned fishing with Jimmie Mason at the PAA tourney on Fork last year. It just so happens I fished with Jimmie on Lake Wheeler on Jan 3rd. Small world.

    Had a nice chat with Rodney and then we parted ways to check out the rest of the show. To say I was greatly disappointed would be an gross understatement. WTH happened to all the fishing tackle vendors?? It looks just like a larger version of the Kansas Sport, Boat & Travel show here in Wichita now -- which means PATHETIC!!!

    Rodney - great to meet you and thanks for the directions and saving the seats. Great display of the old stuff including DougV's SuperSkeeter.

    Great Pics, I was there on Friday night also. Saw Jay's seminar and spoke with him afterwards, while waiting for Rick LaPoint to do his seminar on deep water fishing using side imaging and electronics.

    Jay was a stand up guy. He flew in for the day. He had to be back on Saturday to coach the basketball team for his kids.
