Winni Derby 2012 Pink Rainbow Preview (video)
We had our usual blowout in Moultonborough last weekend, I am still sorting pictures but I have one vid and a few pics ready, so I thought I'd put up a few.
This is a rainbow caught by a young lady in our group. When we got the trout on the ice it disgorged several tablespons of pink powerbait goo, which probably explains its odd color: it's bright PINK! I won $100 in one of the drawings and also got a bit of a shock when I picked it up. There were a pile of NH Fish & Game freshwater digests at the window over at the Board, and as I waited for the moo-lah I thumbed through one. Now, last year I'd taken a nice shot of a laker caught by my buddy Craig that won 2nd place: Imagine my shock when, on page 32 of the digest I saw this: And later when I got home I logged into the F&G website and what did I see: So I called F&G and asked them how they got my pic and they said I'd submitted it to a fish pic contest last summer in the Union Leader and they decided to use it! Coolness... |

It's a great pic...
Yeah, I saw that picture on the F&G web site and recognized it immediately from your derby post last year. I was going to point it out to you in a post but I figured you already knew about it.

your picture was also up in NOrth Conway in something else as well. I cannot remember where, I think it was the Washington Valley Book

You probably don't mind but they used your photo without your knowledge or permission?

I didn't know what they were talking about so they explained that the pic was popping up all over the place. if anybody else sees it, I'd appreciate a heads-up. |

NH Fish and Game: Hi Beast - That photo was submitted to an online photo contest that Union Leader held last summer.So apparently last summer the Union Leader held a fish picture contest on behalf of F&G and the winner would be puiblished in the new 2012 brochure. I submitted one then promptly forgot about it. They say there was no contact info but I remember putting up an email on the form. But yes, to enter I had to agree to free use, and they're making heap plenty free use, all right. |

But I'm a little bit irked too because my image and my friends are all around the state and neither them nor I have any say. The Meredith Derby people asked me for permission to use that shot and I gave it willingly, they did it the classy way. I'm also positive I put contact info on that shot - at least an email. |
