Let's see some pics...some RELEASE pics! Enter as many as you'd like but there's only one winner. The pic doesn't need to be recent, just a muskie swimming away!

Contest starts right now and will run until November 3rd. Me and my crack team of judges will pick the best one...graded on overall cool.

Winner receives a brand new Okuma Cold Water 350 Line Counter. It's a low-profile line counter and definitely different than anything I've ever used but promises to have the same power and durability seen in all Okuma Linecounter reels! More info is below:

"At the core of the Cold Water 350 is the low-profile design. Modern, sleek and elegant, the shape of the reel fits the hand perfectly, a critical feature when back-bouncing or casting floats. Centered within the die-cast aluminum frame, the machined aluminum spool holds more than 150-yards of 65-pound braided line, more than any salmon on earth require. The thumb bar spool release is immediately available for ease of casting or feathering a drift. The Cold Water 350 advances the fishing industry with the addition of a mechanical linecounter to the proven low-profile baitcast reel.

Anticipating heavy use with divers and heavy lead weights to defeat currents, the Cold Water 350 features a powerful 5.4:1 gear ratio from oversized machine cut brass XL drive and pinion gears. Accompanying the XL gear system is a full multi-disc Carbonite drag system delivering up to 25-pounds of max drag in precision micro-click adjustments. Three stainless steel ball bearings plus one stainless roller bearing offer fluid performance while maintaining overall simplicity.

Finished with a rubber Ergo Grip power handle, the Cold Water 350 linecounter takes on every salmon fishing technique from the ocean to the Great Lakes and every river that flows into them.

Cold Water 350 Line Counters are available at an MSRP of $159.99
Backed by the Okuma 1-Year Limited Warranty, catch all-new Cold Water 350 Line Counter reels at www.okumafishing.com."

Thanks Sled...it's been a tough one for me this year...hardly threw a bait all season. Hoping that 2015 get's back to "normal" for me.

(re: the release shot...yep, she was a fatty and a solo day to remember!)
