How I wish that Kansas City Mo still had a good sportshows each winter. They used to have the show each January. I always looked forward to going. The show was held at Battle Hall, a large expo center in KC. The entire place was full of vendors showing all the latest tackle, baits, and everything related. Many outfitters from all over the country were there also, with guides who worked for these camps and resorts. I got to see a great seminar by Larry Nixon, met and spoke briefly with Guido Hibdon, and met Harold Ensley, famous Missouri fisherman. It was a great time. Some memorable things: when Larry Nixon finished his seminar, he held up a plastic worm and said" learn this". That stayed with me all these years. When I met Guido Hibdon, I mentioned that I thought it was awesome that he had developed such a great finesse fishing style. His response was: son, my daddy taught me almost everything I know about fishing. Weve been fishing that way since I was knee high to a stump." A very easy going, humble man also. I sure wish we had a good sportshows now. Does your town have a good sportshows in the winter? If so, do you attend the show?
