Sounds reasonable. I'd see about securing rights to the images and try to control who photos it. Make sure that my gear is prominate
in said photos. Rod reel lure swivel snap line boots gloves beer on and on for possible sponships. As you said, Mike, I'd shake the next guy's hand.And hand him a plug with the other.
