All good pictures, all with a story behind them, all with good reasons to vote for them. I voted for the one that I would most like to have hanging over my desk that I would look at and enjoy day after day for years. It may not be the best picture from a technical standpoint, but this is a fishing forum, not a photography site - so I chose the picture that for me best evoked the spirit of fly fishing in all of its facets.
That said, I have to say that I did not choose the picture of Bob and the bass. Bob, you know I love you, but I'm sorry, that picture just spooks me. I can almost picture myself late some night, perhaps deep into a bottle of Maker's Mark. Everyone is in bed and I'm trying to finish tying some flies for an upcoming trip when I hear something. Blearily looking up from the tying desk thinking that my wife may have called to me I ask, "Did you say something?" Then from the general direction of the Bob & bass picture comes a reply... Which one of them spoke, I'm afraid to say. I bolt from the room (taking the Maker's with me). Shudder. I think I've seen that Soprano's episode too many times.
