I get very excited thinking about the convention this year. I can't wait to see all of you again. This is going to be a dandy of a show!

Maybe there could be a saltwater contest too

I don't know much about the fish from the area but I'd definitely be interested in tangling with an 8-legged mollusk. Friends tell me they've hooked giant octopus from bridges. According to reports the largest witnessed was 600 lbs with a leg span of 30 ft. That's gotta have suckers "as big as your head" and definitely a lot of sushi.

Maybe I'll bring an Atlapac 9/0 and a couple of shiney spinner thingys if John Elder lets me use his custom wood tuna rod!
