We're happy to announce for the open water season of 2008 (May to November) Okuma Fishing http://www.okumafishing.com will be sponsoring a monthly photo contest. The winner will not only receive an Okuma hat and t-shirt, but will also be featured on the front cover of MuskieFIRST.

Pretty basic rules: A new thread will be started at the beginning of every month, and will be active for one week. Contestants will enter a picture of a fish caught recently by posting to the Okuma Fishing Monthly Photo Contest thread. At the end of that week myself, Mark Rogers of Okuma (California_Muskie screen name) and Mike Winther (lambeau) will judge the pictures. Judging will be based on photo quality and presentation versus being judged soley on fish size. Pictures should be related to muskie fishing, but do not necessarily need to include an actual fish. Enter as many times as you want, but you can only enter each picture one time.

Please make sure to check out the new Red Isis reel, the EvX line of rods and my personal favorite, the Induron reels. Thanks again to Okuma Fishing for their continued support of MuskieFIRST and our users!

Good luck to all!

this will be a fun event all season.

if you review back issues of Muskie magazine from Muskies Inc, they have a regular column with advice and suggestions on improving your photographic efforts.
there's also lots of good tips and tricks to be found here on MuskieFirst if you spend a little time using the "search" feature...

good luck!

I've been out in the rain today and just got in. Here's a 36 I got at Salt Fork May 4, a bit better shot than the one previously posted. Thanks to the weedeater dude who came down to take my picture, that was some hustle he put on once he heard me yellin about it. m

Hmm, looks like the photo loading process cut the tail off the critter. not good. pretty marks on this fish, m

Ski Patrol - How high did you have to throw that musky in the air to give you enough time to pick up your camera and get a shot before it hit the water??
