It's SHOW TIME!

This is where I will display our show results from all the shows that I send to, as well as write show reports for the ones that I am able to attend.

Click on the button to find out how to send your own fish to the show! If you take it one step at a time, it's pretty easy!

It's show time!

I had a blast at the convention in Indianapolis! I was also able to visit one of my best friends from High School while I was there, which made it extra awesome! I didn't take as many pictures this time as I usually do since I was busy socializing and judging :) Many of these picture were taken by others at the convention as well. Thanks guys!

We also set up a hashtag for convention this year! Check out #IBCConvention on Facebook and Twitter.

Awwwww love this photo :) Martin is a new judge! He went through trial by fire with Rich and Phil!

Hands-down the best part about convention are the people. And the best way to socialize is in the hospitality room!

What happens when fish nerds drink? Bagging contests! My fastest was 27 seconds (although I wouldn't send any fish in that bag). I had much better ones at 32 seconds. Here I am going up against the legendary Jeff Hiller.
