I saw KVD at lexington or louisville several years ago. He gave a 30 minute seminar and i was amazed for the whole half hour. For someone to be that gifted at fishing, and to be able to be that comfortable and informative in front of a group of people like he was is definitely worth seeing. He actually roll-casted his spinnerbait from the top of the tank into a guys beer sitting in the crowd. So i guess if you are at all involved in bass fishing in any way, I'd say it is something you don't want to miss.
As far as my opinion of the show, it definitely needs to be more fishing related, and less infomercial related.

Well it seems that others who had the same sentiments as I do logged on before I had the opportunity but I would have expressed things in the same way .The fun left it for me when ,as a younger man(a long time ago) ,I realized that the show was catered towards a more upscale clientele who could afford bigger more expensive and expansive toys .I felt swallowed up by the huge price tags on big ticker items what I felt back then I would never be able to afford .I was more interested in learning,expanding my fishing knowledge and dreaming of owning a Tracker type boat to visit some exotic destinations (at least back then they were exotic) like Dale Hollow,Ky Lake and the like .Looking at new tackle ideas was big to me also .I remember the year the guy was there with the "Flying Lure".......anybody with me here?? Maybe I just miss the feeling that people actually loved fishing and it was not all a marketed scheme and scam derived to get one more dollar out of me .Gullible ,huh ?Well it seems that I've probably rambled long enough .I believe that me being asked my opinions is what got this thread going in the first place .
I DO believe that people still love the purity of fishing ,whether they be a tournament fishermen or a weekender and it is this kind of excitement ,which initially fueled my fire that will no doubt fuel the next generations of wide eyed idealists who want to spend every spare minute on the water pursuing their passion .It was kinda like when I realized that pro sports was more about $$$ than about loving the game you get paid to play .That,for me,was the day the music died .I still love fishing-tournaments and for fun , but it aint the same .Thanks for listening folks .

Dave and others....I would love to see a great show with dealers like the Strader Show they have in Louisville. But unfortunately it is that the "Boat Show"

It'd be cool to have Dave give a seminar on on Ky Lake and have a bunch of Ky Lake Marinas there handing out Brochures. Heck that's the way it should be. About promoting Ky Lakes, Guides, Dealers, ect....
I'm sure there could also be someone from Lake Cumberland as well.....

Plus the fact that thier booths are just too dang high.....

I was just too impressed with the Strader Show to ever believe we could have one like that here in Lexington.
