Hey Jon! Paul is right. Lots going on and not enough time to post info or pics yet. I have a lot of photos and will post them after I get back home.
Heading to the dinner in a few minutes. Lots of great reels in the silent auction (which just ended.... doh!) and some good stuff in room trading. Show setup is tonight so I'm sure folks will find some cool reels.
Quick report from the casting contest.
Dan Basore won overall; Warren Platt was second (narrowly missing out on the top spot by a single point); Colby Sorrells finished in third; Don Buchbinder was fourth. Betty Barr was the Stu Lawson Memorial Ugly Reel Toss (winner?!!).

Stay tuned...
Richard

This has been a GREAT meeting!! And the weather has been perfect. Don and I got here Monday. Tuesday we rented one of the pontoons at the Marina and took it out to scout the honey holes in Table Rock Lake. On Thursday morning at 7:30 we all took off. One bass boat and two pontoons were rented plus other boats brought by our members. We had soooo much fun.
Richard has been taking hoards of pictures including one of me holding the winning ugly reel!!
I wish the entire club was here.

It was an exceptional Meet for me this year! Not only did i get some QT with my favorite folks, but thanks to Ron Gast, I added a sweet little EVH #2 in original marked case; he also brought me a signed copy of Men, Fish and Tackle; and Bill Hoerter helped me add a 2/0 JVH B Ocean!


... and best of all, the Club honored me with this award! Much more than I deserve, but greatly appreciated! Thanks to all!

I would love to know more about the zane grey 16/) coxe cradle. ZG has never been photographed using a Tycoon Rod, Tim O'Brien and I searched for years to try to find him with a Tycoon. Was this the original tip? Love the reel! Would appreciate knowing more about the provenance... because if it could be shown that ZG fished Tycoon, if would be very helpful to my buddy Tim (Present Owner of Tycoon Tackle). I believe i have original photos of ZG and this reel, though with another tip section. Given, he fished many, but not alot of Coxe cradles. Thanks for the info- if you are interested i'll try to dig up my photos. COOL reel!
