Whew, OK - we are finally all set to have the photo contest for real. Apologies again for all the other headaches.

Our esteemed panel of voters are:

Myself
Brian Long
Nicolo Raffo
David Fong
Cris Vanclef
Matt Peters
Mark Rogers
Henry Shorr
John Lake
Pete Wolf

My voting instructions are to vote for the best picture, not necessarily the biggest fish. The picture that wins should be a picture like you would see on the cover of a fishing magazine.

When the 10 of us have voted, the voting will be complete, and the first rod will be given away.

Don't forget, you can still send in your picture to be eligible for the second rod. Anyone who sent a pic already after the first set of photos were selected is already automatically entered. That second contest will kick off immediately after this one wraps up.

thanks

-Rob
