Amazing dremmel work not visible in pic ,,Who makes an "Atom Reactor" ? Chumbucket !!! thats who .. Good talking with you Chum . Glad all you guys from other lands made the Trip ..

Matt is a madman..Look in his eyes u can see the twisted mind of a demented plugbuilder..:uhuh:
I had a sneek peek of that beauty a few months ago.He had just got done testing it.He said it swam better than the original..:eek5:

NIB was being represented ....

I think you'd have to machine 'em, Paul. They'll need to be real thick and fit real tight. And please don't forget the Loctite.

I niticed that Eddy..I din't want to say anything..
Not one of my better efforts..

I gave John R one of My Yellow swimmers that was a flat out awesome plug..

I got to walk through Chumbuckets box o' plugs and what a great trip it was! Some beautiful work in there!:drool:

Wow, Nice score.
What did ya give up...:eek:

that Johnny speaks another lanquage when talking plugs .. that multi off centers bottle plug he's working on, is a feat in enginerring ,, well , at least as good as the pyramids .. looking at the layout of the thing made me dizzy ... If you didn't see it .. you missed out ..

Yup, swam a couple in the pond out back. Awesome. The little bottle is beyond words

I must see a pic..

The list is long and i would like to thank all those responsible for setting up and running plugfest.Great bunch of people and talk about plug overload my head is still spinning.Pictures don't do these works of art justice and the knowledge gained from talking with these folks
is immense.The contest plugs were out of this world!!Hope to see you all again soon as i'm already having withdrawls.Thanks again for this great event.

Wish I had more time on the inside to talk to folks...was to friggin busy chasin' down guys for wood. Next time I'll just bring a load if you like and it'll be first come first serve. Spent most of the day lookin' at or for name tags...probably missed some guys...hope y'all like the cedar and cypress...as I mentioned, it'll need a bit of dry time.
Dr,fish...AKA fishdoc, Doc, #^&#^&#^&#^&...notice I didn't put the real name in front of Doc...:jump:

A great time had by my son and i. I enjoyed speaking with many of you. The plug displays were all awesome. The airbrush demo was great as well. Thanks also to Mike for the supplies. A big thanks to those who organized and made this possible. Sorry i didnt meet Dr.Fish, i hope he didnt have to bring any wood back.

I hope you didn't bring any of that clear cedar home with you .. All you had to do is open the door and yell .. I was there until the end and acually went home with money in my pocket ... hate that . Thanks for bringing all that...:wave:

Thanks to numbskull and rockfish9. Those needles will definitely get fished.

Larry, I appreciated the conversation throughout the day and will be visiting you in April at the RI show.

To the rest of the guys who are too numerous to mention: Thank you for being so outgoing and hospitable to a newbie and someone most of you had never met before. You made me feel very welcome and this was a great time. I would love to attend more S-B functions but I have to use 14 hours of vacation time on Saturdays to get them off.:wall:

To Vic, Ed, and Woody: great seeing you again and look forward to a recon mission in the future.

Thanks again.

Well I fished it and it caught fish ,, so I guess your wrong ... they said it ,, not me ,,

It might be fish catching pretty but it's not display case pretty.One Day I know u have heard this one before, I will send ya one for the display case..

Paul, if you're going to lurk around the Canal at night this season, you'd better lose that beard. Someone my mistake you for me, and not all of the Canal guys are in my fan club ;).

LOL. It will be gone in a month when I leave for Vacation. Besides I'd have to get stilts and I don't own a Giants hat.

Paul if you want i'll mail you a Giants hat.:shocked:

Lu, I don't want a Giants hat. But if ya wanna mail me one of those sick a$$sed bottles you make, I'll be glad to accept that!!!

Actually, I'll trade you something for one next PlugFest. Thanks for talking with a newbie. All you guys made me feel welcome.

Thanks Lu but I wouldn't be able to wear it anywhere without fear of bodily harm

[QUOTE=ProfessorM;566286]Thanks Lu but I wouldn't be able to wear it anywhere without fear of bodily harm[/QUOTE

Paul if anyone messes with you call me and they will get a :whackin:
Machinst stick together!!!!

Thanks Lu. I am worried about Larry. He is very sensitive about that game. I would need a stepladder to hit him.

Paul your wrong just hit him in the groin and run fast.:musc::hihi:

Oldest man in my family lived to be 70 .. You got 15 yrs. 364 days to make good ..

I can do that. The bigger they are the harder they fall, just hopefully not on you.:fight:

Wow a belated Happy Birthday...

I promise you wont be dissapointed.OH and as for the energy... take note of the coffee cup... fill that sucker three time and you wonts sit still either!
