As always the classic is a whirl wind of meetings, louncheons, breakfast meetings and then the expo and weigh ins....

We are running behind getting articles published but look to the videos for faster updates on Ultimate Bass Facebook page.

We missed a meeting today so I'm going to use the time to get some more footage of the expo, I'll be putting that all together over the next couple days.

Lip, Don't you dare feel sorry for them.  Heck man they are at the Classic, Special and VIP passes, Great meals lots of social activity and of course the Expo and those benefits.  No More Mr. Nice Guy.  They better be bringing all of us something.

While I do appreciate the vids and reports--THANKS!!--I do agree with Bud--I can think of a lot worse duty than attending the Classic and all the extras that go with that

  hey quit giving away the secrets....

We did have all you can eat fried shrimp and beef brisket at Lunch on Thursday. Friday was some kind of gormet ravioli which was more expensive than my taste buds have ever tasted. Today was a melt in your mouth brisket.... we get wore out from all the special events but they definitely feed you good 

We'll have to take a photo of all the "promotional" stuff from fancy tackle bags to clothing

But please understand it's hard work turning down after parties because we have to work

I can Vouch for Laurie, Mike and Fogy doing Work... They're putting in a ton of Hours and camera Batteries right now.. The Expo is huge!

Thanks Mike, Laurie, Ron and everybody for doing what you do so the Ultimate Bass Members experience the BEST bass fishing forum there is.

You might need a proxy to make sure UB is represented at those parties next year Mike.

I'm pretty good at drinkin beer  and I'm sure I could get a couple days off!

Mike,  will you be at next years Classic in Greenville?  I might see you there if you are.

Classics are very expensive, it's about 1.6k when it's all said and done. Food room tolls parking was 25 a day  gas.... some of that was personal purchases...

The penny jar is started. I love S.C. But it's about 1.1k miles so that along triples my fuel costs.

Maybe a go fund the Cork's and Fogelson's page is in order LOL

On that note, Ron paid his whole way and didn't even let me buy them dinner. Ron is a giant part of UB and does everything Volunteer huge Thank Yous to him

No worries Mike, There will be a bunch of us in Greenville next year even if it is just to check out the expo. We even expect Big Wrench to get healed enough to be there if we are lucky.
