I'm a little surprised you guys are focusing on picture taking instead of questioning how a 19 inch smallmouth is somehow nearing the 5 lb range......

It was pushing the 4lb 8 oz  but it settled on 4lb 7 oz.  Al seen it on the scale.  No stories here.  I weighed a 5 lb 2 oz in December.  It was 21".  This is the scale I use.   Very accurate.

Al saw it was all you had to say.

I officially retract my statement.

Contest:

For the weirdest, strangest, most creative fish pic of the month, I'll mail out a slab of smoked sockeye salmon.  And yes, I caught it and it's the REAL DEAL.  Oh, the pic can't be photoshopped... and it can't show location.  And you can't see the angler's face, completely.  Chin may be.

Any other rules I'm missing?

And don't google "weirdest, strangest, most creative fish pic of the month" and copy/paste a pic.  I know you guys 

It has to be caught after today by the person who entering the contest.

There is one of Ronnie a few years back that hits all three of the criteria.
