    Default Ky Shindig Problem


    First we want to give a BIG THANK YOU, to all the sponsors, attendees and everyone involved in putting on this fine event. You could never find a more giving, gracious, and enjoyable bunch anywhere on this planet. It was a honor for us to be there and enjoy meeting everyone. It is so nice to be able to put faces and names together. My wife Cindy(Shrooms) really enjoyed visiting with Slabs Mother and Aunt. I think the stories and history those ladies know, and could tell, would fill an encyclopedia.
    Now on to the problem I have with the shindig. I can't figured out what I enjoyed the most about it!
    Was it:
    1. The Food. OMG the food. There was enough food there to feed 3 shindigs. Was it good. Thumbs UpOh hell yes! It was awesome. Some of them cooks could put those fancy chefs on TV to shame.

    2. Maybe the fact that we got to meet and rub elbows with some of the legends of C.Com. Its nice to see that these folks are real. That they are as nice in person as they appear to be behind the screen. Some of them better looking in person, some not! I won't call any names.

    3. Maybe the fun filled, knowledge sharing, story telling times around the campfire. As I had just purchased a new depth finder and the trip down there was the first time on the water with it I gained a lot of useful info listening how everyone has theirs set up and how they use them. Plenty of other useful information was shared other than depth finders, but sidescan and downscan seemed to be a popular topic. I want to give an extra thanks to C.Com extraordinaire WHISKERS for helping me get mine tweeked in. I wasn't too impressed with it until I let Whiskers touch it. Granted I was a little nervous seeing him pushing buttons on my new toy. But it works like a charm now. Lot of info shared on different fishing techniques too. Way to many different subjects to list. I am sure all the stories told around the campfire were the gospel truth too. RoflRoflRoflRofl.

    4. Then there was the door prizes. We may never have to buy any more jigs and jig bodies. Everybody, and I mean everybody won something and several won multiples. We actually felt embarrassed to walk away (but we did:D) with so much when we gave so little. Hopefully next year if we are able to attend we will be more prepared and able to donate a little to the event.

    I think if I had to pick just one thing I liked the best it would be #1234.
    Crappie spawning and morels popping up at the same time. What was God thinking when he made that schedule. It's pure torture every spring deciding which to do.

    It was great meeting you and talking around the camp. You are right about some of the best people on the planet. Putting on one of these shindigs is a lot of work but worth it because you get to meet a lot of neat people. Hope you come back next year !
