ORLANDO, Fla. — Any way you want to slice it, the 55th annual ICAST show was a success.

"The last time we were in Orlando was 2009," said Mike Nussman, president and CEO of the American Sportfishing Association. "Despite an ailing economy, we had a good show.

"But this year, we had a great show. Show attendance, overall, was up 23 percent and buyer attendance was up 25 percent. We had 9,000 show attendees with more than 3,000 buyers and more than 760 media in attendance to cover the show."
