Thats gonna be one heck of a long trip.

Have fun man!!

That sounds like its going to be a great trip.  Are you going to do any fishing while you are here in the States?

Now thats dedication, someone call ESPN with the extended coverage they normaly provide. The may be able to make a meet and greet with KVD possible.

You are going to have a great time.  It can be a little intimadating with the size but take your time and see everything there is to see and do.  The pros that are not fishing will be all over the floor representing for their sponsers and they are all willing to talk and sign autographs.  The pros that will be fishing may or may not stop by after the first day and sign autographs for an hour or two and the pros that don’t make the cut will also be on the floor the next day for their sponsers.  There will be alot of freebies and giveaways so listen to the announcements and pay attention to any of the schedules that are posted at the booths.  Again have fun and enjoy.

Its not just the trip that fascinates me about this…...its the Passion, i love to read storys like this showing what great fans this sport has to go to such extremes. Congrats and i hope your stay is even better than you think it is….Welcome to America

Im hoping to do some fishing while we are there in birmingham we are there for just over a week would be so good to catch a bass, we have got so much to do and see but hell im traveling 16,000 mile across the other side of the world catching a bass is up there in the top 10

Chopper, you will have a blast at the Classic. The launch is a great way to start out each day, followed by the massive expo, and then the weigh-in. This will make my 4th Classic and each one keeps getting better. Tons of FLW and BASS pro’s will be around. Be sure to stop by the KVD booth and check things out.

What is this booth I keep hearing about? Is it just a trailer perked selling souvey’s or something different?

Its a booth set up in the Classic expo advertising this website. They usually have give-aways and KVD may stop up there if he has the time.

I will make sure i get to the booth and have a chat with the guys, will you be there twitch ?

Well im packed and ready to go, see you all in 2 days time, birmingham here we come !!!!!

Have a safe trip!

sounds exhausting have a good time man

that sounds awesome.  Always nice to see a worldwide following of bass fishing.  Hope you can hook up into some of those GIANT southern bass.  GLHF!

Chopper,

Make sure you swing by the booth!
We will be next to Quantum.
