    I went to Hot Springs Ar. in October for Mr. Crappie convention and ran into Slab, "G", Billbob and a hole mess of gubers, they cooked 16,000 lbs of crappie with hush puppies, it truely was a amazing crappie convention even met Todd Huckabee from Oklahoma and some guys fishing the tournement from Texas, Scotty V a whole lot of CDC members. I sat with Nimrod for the weigh in and later watched the youtube video of it and there we were live and in color. The price was right free. I was glad to be in attendance for the first ever crappie convention in Hot Springs Ar. Hope to see it happen again.

    I didn't see this before the show. I went to this show many years ago. It was pretty small then. Really impressed with the growth of the Tinley show. I enjoyed it more than the Schaumburg show. I think I will hit this show every year now. Better deals, half the price, and just a better feel to the show. Spoke to a guide from Clinton that I will be using this year. Hope you enjoyed the show as much as I did.
