Hi to all, so we finally got a Cabella's here in Edmonton,Alberta Canada.But will talk later about Cabella's,let's see how many fisherman down in the States know who Mariko is... #-o .Yes that one,Bob's niece...yes ...they share the same last name and i guess when you're beautiful and you are related to a famous fishing personality that became millionaire doing what we all wish we could do...have fun and earn tonns of money...(i wish [-o< ).Wow she's a looker, we got her autograph on a book and one of her pictures signed...to us (the wife,i and upcoming baby...wife is 9 mo preganant ) and just before we left Mariko gave us a white ball cap with WFN logo on it,nice gesture.BTW if you have a chance to see her run to see her,she's just that gorgeous...
And now about Cabella's...we used to drive nearly 300 Km to the nearest Bass Pro Shopps for the great selection on fishing/boating gear and we were never disapointed untill we went to Cabella's right here in Alberta's capital city Edmonton (Canada).For starters Cabella's in Edmonton is way too small at 70.000 sqf versus Bass Pro Shopps in Airdrie near Calgary (also in Alberta,Canada...we are not crazy about Calagarians :roll: :roll: ) that measures in at 150.000 sqf :!: .Cabella's seems to cater about 80% to hunters and the Army...i never seen so much camo clothing under one roof...so if you are looking to buy fishing gear or boating gear don't bother with Cabella's,i hear that in the US is where the big Cabella's are...so for now i will be shopping at our Canadian store Wholesale Sports (we got two of those in town and thet cater big time to the fishing community...unlike Cabella's...and ofcourse the drive south to BPS :lol: )...Even their camping selection is a let down...i wonder what were they (Cabella's) thinking when they decided to open the second on all of Canada (the other one is in Winnipeg,Manitoba...the people that live in Winnipeg think they are the centre of the Universe... :---) #-o )they must think of us Edmontonians that we are savages...guns and camo clothing...anyone heading to Iraq...sorry ,Canada is only involved in the other arab war...the one that Nato/UN should have avoided at all costs (see soviet occupation...what they achieved against guys in jammies that still live in caves :shock: #-o ).Anyways if Cabella's would care about us guys that fish (and don't shoot...can you shoot and release...ohh i forgot that only works when fishing 8) ) they would have a real selection on fishing gear along with boating gear...too bad Cabella's...you made us wait for months to go thru the doors of your store and i'm sure i'm not the only one that was left dissapointed [-X :roll: :? :shock: #-o :---) :evil: [-X
