Location: Northwest Chicago Burbs | Many apologies for not getting this bad boy up sooner, but now you've all had more chances to get those entry shots onto film, and ready to be displayed for our judgement! This will probably be our second to last installment of this photo contest, so it's almost time to pull out your best of the best!
Make sure to check out not only the rules below, but Okuma Fishing, supporter of so many MuskieFIRST events at http://www.okumafishing.com
Pretty basic rules: A new thread will be started at the beginning of every month, and will be active for between one week and 15 days. 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!

| The one with the steam rising was taken the AM I caught my PB.
The rainbow was taken at the end of our recent trip and about 30 mins after I caught a 40" pike.

| A 46" caught in late August of this year. It is one of the nicer fish I have ever caught but what makes it special for me is my son got to experience it with me.

Location: Athens, Ohio | Well, I don't know if this meets all the qualifications listed, but daggone it, Grandpa mikie's gotta brag somewhere! Here's a pic my daughter in law took of our grand daughter at 6 months, posting with a fish pillow we got for Jon 20 years ago.
She's a real sweetheart, I figure if it wins a reel then she's got her first piece of muskie gear to get her started. enjoy! m

| Awsome pic msky 3, I could'nt zoom in on your pic, but it actually appears that the bear's ears are perked up and it is indeed chasing your topraider!!! What's the whole story? Is it a pet or dumb cub or something? |

Pointerpride, that looks like it may have stung a little. It makes me cringe just looking at it. Is that the end of the hook still in your hand? |

Location: The desert | Bobtodd, yep the hook was still in my hand. The barb was too far in for me to get it out by myself. Wish I would have had a scalpel, it would have come out to problem then. The fish were just starting to go too!
