My trip to International Game Fish Association Hall of Fame.

Their big swordie.


My girlfriend and my roommate trying to feign excitement at being there.


Tanks with current showing how different lures swim. Neat to look at, but it was sponsored by Rapala, so naturally, all the lures were Rapala's...


Hooks really haven't changed too much aside from the advent of the circle hook...some of those hooks were 100+ years old and looked real similar to what I bottom fish with today.


Line on the other hand has come a ways...


Big reels from the past.


I'm going to decorate my house like this one day with any luck...this was across the ceiling. Hanging them with fishing line was a natural choice, but a nice touch nonetheless.


yep.


My roommate and I testing our knowledge.


I think this summer I'm going in with my mask on and seeing if I can't find this view in real life...
