TNBassin'

My DirectTv guide said it came on at 9 and I even auto tuned it so I wouldn't miss it. The commercial here said it came on again at 9am as well. Our region must be messed up.

Remember that Bass Pro will price match anything that Academy has, so be sure to take advantage of that. Love me some Academy though.

I watched part 1 yesterday, but I turn it on at 9am sharp this morning and it's freaking Sportscenter. I can't believe that they would advertise coverage of the event, and then screw everyone over. Hopefully Bassmaster can swing a deal with another network next year so we can actually watch it.

I got one part uploaded that is around 5 minutes long, but the first part which is about 22 minutes long will be up tomorrow. It's over a gigabyte because my phone does video in hd so I'm gonna wait til I'm at work to upload it since we have crazy fast internet there.

I'm a BRONCOS fan, but I would have loved to have met Al Davis. That man's desire to win was second to none. Did a lot of great things for the game, despite being seen as a villain.

I got a KVD 1.5 in Cataouatche Special autographed too. I thought that was neat since he won the 2011 Classic on that same lure. He also thanked me for taking the hooks off of the 6XD lol.

My wife went to Bass Pro today and did the meet and greet with KVD and Timmy Horton. Got some pics and autographs, and she even bought a new Daiwa bait caster today. Like I said....keeper.

Yessir. He was at our BassPro today.

I've met Barry Bostwick, Karl Malone, Butterbean, Johnny Knoxville, Hoopz/Nicole Alexander, Shaquille O'neal, Brent Smith from Shinedown, Antwan Odom, Ty Detmer, and today met KVD and Timmy Horton.

Booooo! There was a Shimano rep there today who was incredibly nice. We talked a ton about rods and reels, and he admitted that Abu is kicking their butt. He asked to see my Veritas and even he thought it was darn good rod. He said the closest to a Veritas would be a Compre, but he said he knew I was an Abu guy and wasn't gonna try to sell me on one lol. Good people today.

Lol! I'm not sure why people have to come into threads and act like a ****** here. Seems to be a trend nowadays.

Best advice in this thread was "stay sober" LMAO!!

Got back from BPS today, and walked out with ANOTHER Revo S and ANOTHER Veritas. I had a trade in coupon for the rod, and was handed a rebate card for $25 by the Abu rep that was there today. You have to buy both a rod and reel at the same time to get the rebate. Great deal for anyone still on the fence, especially with the rod trade in program right now.

One thing I did notice and I kind of got a laugh from it, was his signature went from his full name at the beginning, to just KVD lol. Pretty sure his hand was cramping up by the end. And retraining order? Lol. We are from neighboring towns, so yeah I definitely root for the guy and am a huge fan.

Well to my little girl it's an action figure, and she was super happy I brought it to her. Why be that way???? What a dick head. Those videos are about 2gb so they should be up a little later. When they are I will link them.

Got both seminars on video so I will upload those soon. KVD had some great info on jerkbaits.

Man what an awesome day! Got to BPS about 12, and got to meet Timmy Horton and Kevin VanDam. Were as nice and humble as could be, never acted like it was too much trouble to answer a question, sign an auto, or take a picture. KVD even told me how nice it was of me to take the hooks off my 6XD before he signed it. Not only did he sign my 6XD, he signed his action figure, A KVD 1.5 in cataouche color, And my Oakley bag! All in all it was a great day, And one I won't soon forget. KVD impressed me so much, I almost bought his reel and rod. Almost lol. Let me know what you think of the pics, And I'd u want me to post links to the videos I took of KVD and Horton's seminars just let me know.

I've got polarized oakley batwolf glasses. Best pair of oakleys I've ever owned, and I've owned a lot of oakleys.

I have a new 6XD in sexy shad I'm gonna try and get signed. Gonna take the hooks off so I don't snag him lol.

Just wanted to know from those that have gone to these seminars how busy it will be? I'm assuming it's gonna be nuts, and I'm looking for any tips from people that have gone to these things with someone of KVD's popularity. Any tips?

I still use them but the SK RES are the deal.

Love my STX. You wont regret it.

If I was sponsored I would wear one. Funny how pro fisherman nowadays look like NASCAR drivers with fishing rods in their hands lol.

I won't even look at Lucky Craft baits. I'm sure they are good, as everyone constantly raves about them, but I'm not gonna drop the money they are asking for a lure.

What color jerk baits is everyone using?
