Location: davis,IL | Good Job! I caught my first 50+ 5 years ago and I can say thats the tough part. Since then I;ve managed to break that mark again along with some very close to it. So I can say the first ones the hardest and it does get easier after that. |

Location: Lake of the Woods, Morson, Ontario | Spectacular release shot!!! Get that release shot imported into a corner of the picture with the hold and it will blow up very nicely. I do that with as many of the big girls I can when a good release photo is captured as well.
The first 50 will break the ice and you will be on the big girls regularly now! |
