Thanks for the great report and pics guys. Sounds like you guys in the "fin posse" did a great job of making sure that the CCA name was well represented in Milwaukee. BTW, those t-shirts look great on you guys.

Wow, REALLY great shots Tony and Kevin!!
Brought back alot of fun memories already
I had a BLAST with all of you, and wanted to thank you all for making me feel like a real member of the club.
When Tony told me I was "family" I got a little choked up.
:wub: you guys!

Great pictures Kevin, And yes Chris you are right I was tired inj a few of those pictures. I think we all really did not get any sleep due to the all night driving adventure, and the late night drinking and hanging out. I had a great time with everyone and I can't wait till the ACA 2011!!!

Hi Dan Ye! PM me your email address and I'd be happy to send you some of my pics. I have many more, but had a pretty slammed weekend and didn't get a chance to get on past checking quickly on my Blackberry.
I'm going to post up some more today though. I think I have a few more of your fish.
It was great meeting you and your hubby.

Here's a few more from the fish show...
This guy won best in show, I think.
I think this is Dan Ye's favorite fish. Without a doubt, a stunner!

What kind of trouble? You mean like having to ride home in a car stuffed full of tanks and fish bags? That doesn't spell trouble, that spells Tony. Look at the old lady in the background; she's eying him up like he just outbid her.:unsure:

Tony takes no prisoners when he wants a bag of fish. If it were a NJ auction, being the loudest would be a feat, but in Milwaukee, was there much competition?LMAO.....Mike you are so right....Tony MAN HANDLED that old lady on some bag of Africans. LOL

Depends on what you think competition is...to be honest when it comes to a fish that Tony, Kevin, or I want there is nothing that could get in are way LOL. So with that said I don’t think that there was any competition.... Just people who thought they could hang and really couldn’t lol. These people however made the prices higher for us lol.

LOL! Look at the way Tony is hiding his Beer. The Cougar in the background was hoping that Tony would offer her some of his beer. LOL!
Yea, the auction was so good that even I came back with 11 bags of Cichlids. That's 9 past my quota. LMAO!
