This wicked brilliant idea just came to my peanut brain.....
How about we try and get at least a monthly, maybe even a weekly contest goin here for the front page photo. People could submit some type o picture to a grandmaster (Luds, BigFish, Tynan, some other person with an eye for photo stuff and spends a lot of time here) a picture, cool, big fish, little fish, picture of interest, and it becomes the front page. This help keep things fresh. Now the thing is, wheather we admit it or not, it is our human nature to be competitive, so to make things interesting, perhaps some of the talented plug makers here could donate a plug to the winner ( sorry to maybe rip a page from your journal Zeno with all the give-a-ways). Give people more of a reason to come here, look, post, become active, cause god knows everyone loves free stuff. I know I gots PILES of plugs I have won over the past few years that I ain't ever gonna put in the water, but they are in no way really worth winning compared to the stuff that some of the guys here make. Best I could offer would be a dozen of the best hand picked eels at least guaranteed to catch someone a monster dogfish.....so, how abouts it?
I just log onto some of the "other sites" and they have had the same friggin front page pic up for o say like 5 years....Judge a book by its cover.....zzzzzzz.......First impressions are critical to survival.
I know there are smata people hea than me, so anyone willin to take this seed and turn it into a flower?
(and besides, the world already seen enough of my ugly mug......)

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

I like the Dan and Mike photo, Tony, and Liam all for the front page. It would be cool if at one point in the month we selected a few photos and put up a pole to vote for the front page.

I cringe when I load the main page and the advertisement next to the great white is the wetsuit add. The size of the shark next to the 3 tiny wetsuits in the add is not helpful to my state of mind.
Great pictures guys. I always wonder when I see pics like that how far from that spot in the photo were that actually caught.
