Yup! 2nd year in a row. I will go yearly from now on. Love hanging out with like minded people.

I've gone to the one in Cincinnati a few times. Its gotten a lot worse since I was a kid. I remember in the early 90's it was massive and took up the entire convention center.

Last time I went, it was half the convention center, and most of it was boat and RV dealers, with hardly any fishing / hunting / etc type folks. And LOTS of scammy time share type stuff.

If any members are there and they see me, please stop and introduce yourself.

I'm fairly local (about 35 minutes) and spent years working a booth for RMEF so I now tend to only go when I can score free passes. Hopefully will again this year.

Jim, if you have any interest in grabbing a beer or steak and beer with a member from the area, just let me know.

I've heard about this show but never attended. Is it that good? I've heard it takes two days to get through it all.
I've been hitting the Richmond Bass Expo for the last four years but they keep getting more and more non-fishing booths, like home improvement and trinket sellers, so I'm not quite as excited to go as I once was.
