I held the door open for the owner of live targets father and he hooked me up with a bunch of lures and gear! Then introduced me to Scott Martin!!! I was so nervous meeting him I could hardly talk hahaha 3 Quote

Super User Sam Posted February 18, 2018 Super User Posted February 18, 2018 Fantastic! This is a major reason to hit the big shows. You can meet the movers and shakers in the bass fishing industry. 1 Quote

Must have been just a coincidence. Quote

Global Moderator 12poundbass Posted February 20, 2018 Global Moderator Posted February 20, 2018 After watching that I've gained a little more respect for Dave Mercer. I've enjoyed his shows, this years hasn't been the greatest and him losing Shimano could explain why they seem to be using some stock footage, and maybe why he's done way more other species shows.
