sorry about the out of focus PM classic plug

the last one is some of the professors' fancy aluminum jigs and tools and stash

middle is Pauls' other classic with threaded thru wire and nut on the end, fancy workmanship!

Thank you everyone!
and thanks Dan for bringing that grinder setup, my gouges are sharper now and have the correct angle, I'll be busy using them soon.
thanks again for the plugs I got, I will fish them hard.
I did miss seeing a few people, sorry they could not come - Bigfish, capesams,Throwing Timber, Stripercrazy, TDF. And it just is not the same without Flaptail Steve Shiraka
It was great seeing the rest of you and to see some first timers also.


By the way, Best of show again was Rowhunter with that beautiful big mouth popper painted in striper What a piece of work that is! Congrats Rowhunter!

I am not sure but we may have screwed up and forgot an award, I think I messed John up when I broke a frame glass and we forgot the classic plug winner. ooops

Next year we'll have to plan this stuff out better and talk more about it online ahead of time. It went well, good organized chaos.
