!!!August Photo Contest Winner!!!

Postby WanderingBlues » September 2nd, 2013, 7:38 am

Thanks to all the folks who submitted pics for August. The lovely Mrs. Bayer, who knows little of fishing and lots about art, had a tough time making the call. Once she understood the focus of the contest, it was just a matter of picking for aesthetics. What she said........

"The reason I chose the winner was because it was such a unique perspective and something I had to think about. The little bit of hand showing ties it together because otherwise I would have thought it was some weird creature up from the depths."

And

"There were 2-3 others that were right there. If I had taken one more or one less sip of my tea, it might have been a different choice. Even though I like the colorful trout, this one was just fun to look at."

So, without further adieu........ Bass-Zilla by Fishabuoy! :bravo; ;woohoo: :bob:
