Anyone who is going to be in La Crosse in a few weeks? I missed out on Marshalling way back in January, so I'm just going to go Friday and stay through Sunday. This will be the first Elite series tournament I've been to, so I'm pretty excited.

Along the same lines, anyone have any fun stories from an Elite event they went to or advice on things to do while there?

Yeah I'm going. Only able to go Saturday and Sunday though. Also my first Elite event-pretty excited for a chance to schmooze with the pros!

Well....good news and bad news.

Bad news first: I'd have a tough time convincing myself to meet up with a UW guy at the series.

Good news: I clicked to get a better look at that smallie in your pic (awesome fish, btw), and accidentally saw your profile, which included "fine cigars, cheap whiskey." Well done, sir. I'll be over there Saturday and Sunday also.
