I attended the 2000 bmc in chicago and got the chance to meet Mike Iconelli at the Manns booth on the 2nd day of the event. Mike was having bad luck but he kept his smile and spent a lot of time talking with me. He impressed me very much! I was very pleased to see him win the 2003 BMC. Mike is a stand up guy, his post tourney interviews reflect the true nature of this guy. Way to go Mike! A guy from NJ catching the most weight in LA.
Way to go buddy!

Sorry I am a little late on this one, but I agree. Mike is a great angler that deserves a lot of praise for his outstanding performance and a lot less trash talking about his dance moves.
