TNF will be launching a spring campaign where they will be using one of my pics for a full size cut out.  Now, when you go into any Eastern Mountain Sports or REI store, you can look and say "I know that duuuuude"!

I can't post the pic yet, for obvious reasons, but it is a true New England, "I can't believe I'm fishing in this crap weather" kind of pic.

Now that your going to be famous, I can see the sponsors bringing you a new boat, exclusive tackle line, and your own show..

Congrats!

Congrats!  Looking forward to seeing it.  

way to go  8-)

 Will you still hang around with the likes of  us ???

                                             As Ever,

                                              skillet

                                   

COOL!

Congratulations buddy.  That is great news!

Congrats LBH, will you be looking like that race car driver I see every where

with a Budweiser jump suite on with a number 8 on it. Every where I go I see him propped up In a corner. ;D

It's not a blow is it ?

That is cool, now you are a celebrity.   8-)

Congrats man! That's awesome!

LBH, That is so cool.  Congratulations.  We have a couple of REI storage around.  Will be looking for you.

Sweet Russ! Couple quick questions:

• Are you modeling the new children's line?
       
• Did they choose you so that they could cut down on material costs for the cutout?
       
• Will it be sitting on top of the checkout counter next to the beef jerky and lure shaped lighters?
       
• Are your friends at Keebler introducing a new alpine cookie in conjunction with your new launch?
       
• Are you Sneezy....or Dopey?
       
• Will your exposure be limited to the small game department?
       
• Which mall will you be helping Santa at?
  

I'm sorry, I'm bored.

But seriously, congrats man!

[*] Are you modeling the new children's line?

I'm all about the fit and some of the boys XL stuff fits me but not the pants or shorts.

     [*] Did they choose you so that they could cut down on material costs for the cutout?

You don't become THAT big by wasting money

     [*] Will it be sitting on top of the checkout counter next to the beef jerky and lure shaped lighters?

They won't put any full size cut outs of me near any exits, women tend to help them disappear when noone is looking

     [*] Are your friends at Keebler introducing a new alpine cookie in conjunction with your new launch?

yes, it's baked twice daily and makes women's mouths water

     

[*] Are you Sneezy....or Dopey?

Not at the moment

     [*] Will your exposure be limited to the small game department?

No, I don't play games

[*] Which mall will you be helping Santa at?

Hopefully all of them, I appreciate all the kickin' clothes and would like to still be putting them through the trials and tribulations that anglers encounter, for '09 and long into the future

that that literally had me laughing out loud!

Still lmao at that comeback Russ, Congrats dude.

So, you're taking over the new Martha Stewart line? ;D ;D ;D

Nice work, Russ...seriously...

Slowly but surely you pathway is unfolding before you gasshopper 8-)

Slowly but surely you pathway is unfolding before you gasshopper 8-)

It was all before you also muddy with your "Huge BPS 2 year sponsor deal" till you turned your back on them, you too could have had your own line of Muddy Clothes and Fish Hooks!

Cool, you told me about this!

Did Brad Paisley write that song about you- celebrity : ;D

Congratulations LBH. I signed my contracts with a soap manufacturing company for a cash only deal for 2008. Let me know how your deal is working and I will keep you up on mine. Again good luck

Congratulations!

When do we get to see the display?

Thank God I don't have any of those stores around here!!!! : ;D

Seriously that's very cool.  Any chance they will be up by Christmas?  I am going to Colorado for Christmas and I usually hit up their REI for after Christmas sales.

It will be in New England stores for the spring
