Here is a picture I took about three years ago. It's a place we call "Rock Row" on Pickwick Lake not far from the Wilson Dam.

Yikes, guess I need to learn how to make the pictures smaller from Shutterfly. lol
This Gator on Lake Okechobee followed me for hours , got just out of casting range a couple times. I'd guess he was 9ft long.
F.Y.I..... I downloaded free software from www.faststone.com that allows me to resize my pictures , seems to work OK.

You have to have my signed consent before you can publicly show a picture of me fishing!!!! :o
FYI guys - thanks for the free photo site info CR - I get asked about this a LOT! I did recently increase the photo memory size limits on the forum to help out as much as I can.
Sunrise on beautiful Lake Ovid
Hey... I have one of Ovid I keep on my work wallpaper from almost the same angle, but a little later in the morning (no, not the same morning ;D ). It always makes me happy when I look at it.

Here are a few of my favorites:
Here is one of my favorites, this is a storm coming in over Hamlin on a Thursday nite tourney nite. Yep we fished in this storm and had the time of our lives. We had our limit in litterally 5 minutes, we also caught walleye, I caught cropies on crankbaits, and Terry caught a huge 36 inch channel cat on a pig and jig. I was catching fish so fast that he turned to me at one point and said Hun, I'm exhausted from running to the back of the boat with the net for you. LOL it was a great nite and lots of fun.
I got 'charged' up on Hamlin lake years ago. I was fishing a tournament out there with Anthony Adams, i think it was a FRL tournament, and a storm rolled through. Not long after the clouds came in, the static was in the air. And soon after our rods were buzzing. All of a sudden my whole body was buzzing and all my muscles locked up. I was literally locked to the deck of the boat. i couldnt even open my right hand to let the rod go, which was now shocking the heck out of me. i could actually see the little bolts of electricity shooting out of my rod and hitting my hand, wrist, and arm. I was finally able to tip over like a stiff piece of wood. I dont know what happens right before you get struck by lightning but im guessing it was similar to my experience.
That lake whips up some nasty storms.
McCarter himself :-\'

Just to chime in about McCarter's experience, you would be 100% right! You were very lucky not to have been struck by lightning.
I was fishing out of Ruggles Reef in Huron, Ohio a few years ago, and decided to wrap up due to a storm coming in. River Walker was with me, and we headed in when a boat came flying off the water. It had stayed out too long, and they were west of us and closer to the storm. They had been hit by lightning, and three guys were injured none seriously. I remember the pictures we saw later. The rod looked like it was a bundle of burnt hair.
Eric
I've been bald ever since that day!
I think I saw the pictures on the OGF website of that. The rod looked like a black, hairy birds nest wrapped around the reel. The guy had fiberglass all in his face, pretty nasty.
You're right,it was on OGF.Buckeye and I passed the three of them on our way back to CCM,I remember telling Eric that I couldn't believe those dudes were staying out.Somehow or another they did make their way back into the marina before us(we were only using a 40hp).Once Buckeye and I cruised into the marina,there was already one ambulance there,and we could hear at least one more in the distance.I can't even begin to imagine what it was like getting all those fiberglass shards removed from that one guys face and arms! Graphite and lightning are never a good mix,thankfully,we later heard that all three of them were okay-pretty scary stuff.
That was an interesting day for sure,but in all my years of fishing,if I could recapture one moment on film-my choice would be easy.Eric,you know what I'm going to say! A couple of summers ago,I was fishing Pleasant Hill Lake in central Ohio with a buddy(RocknFish).It was a pretty uneventful day as far as the fishing went,just a few smaller bass.We were making our way down a wooded shoreline when my buddy noticed a length of mono about 6' or so hanging off a low-hanging tree branch.Well being the conservationist he is,he decided to remove the old line worrying that a bird would get tangled up in it-nice guy huh? A mili-second after he yanked the line,a huge swarm of totally peeed off hornets descended on him like a plague.Dude had irate hornets crawling in his nostrils and ears and since he was shirtless,they had plenty of area to attack.Why he just didn't go over the side is still a mystery.I was sitting up on the bow watching this all go down,trying to watch for any sneak attacks on me which never came,they seemed to know who the guilty party was.The look on Aaron's face at the moment of attack! All I heard was "Oh ****!",and it was on.I keep telling him it's alright to laugh about it now,one day maybe he'll agree-lol!
It just can't get any better than this for me...my daughter Alison hooked up with this walleye while fishing Strawberry Ridge in 2003. She had one of those days where everything went right and this was just the icing on the cake.
There are a lot of other categories we could get into also:
Best on-the-water disaster photo
Best fishing photo of 2008
Smallest catch (any species)
Best fishing outfit (hat, shirt, cold weather gear)
Best salt water fishing photo
...and on and on...
Fun stuff!
