Wavespin Reel Picture Contest #3

[djkimmel]

This is the 3rd WaveSpin Reel contest of 2011. This Wavespin Reel Picture Contest #3 starts immediately and runs for 6 weeks through the end of day October 20, 2011.

This is your chance to show off your pictures and win a brand new WaveSpin Reel of your choice from any on their website.

How to Enter
Upload a new picture to the GreatLakesBass.com Image Gallery starting today through September 8, 2011. You can upload to a generic category or to your personal MyGallery member picture gallery.¹

After you upload your new picture to the Image Gallery, copy the 'BB Medium Image Code' for that picture. Look for that label below you picture and copy all the text from the box to the right. Then come back to this thread and paste the code into a post below within this contest thread stating that you are entering that picture into this WaveSpin Reel Contest #3. Don't start a new thread!

How to Win
The winner will be chosen for the picture entered in this thread that gets the most and highest average ratings in the picture gallery with greatest number of views being the tiebreaker. The 'BB Medium Image Code' will display your picture in this thread and allow members to click the picture to go right to the image gallery where they can view, comment on and rate your picture. You should add some information to your post about your picture ask members to click on it to go rate it so you can get as many ratings as you can.

Additional Information
Any member can rate a picture whether they are personally eligible to upload their own pictures or not. You can only rate any one picture one time. You cannot rate your own picture.

You can also use other methods to ask members to visit your picture on the image gallery and rate it such as getting new people to join GreatLakesBass.com and have them rate your picture. In the image gallery there are popular sharing options below your picture you can choose to promote your picture through Twitter, Facebook and other popular social websites. Please don't PM members you don't know unsolicited but you can contact your friends on the forum and ask them to rate your picture.

Ties not settled by the criteria above will be decided by the person who entered their picture in this contest thread first. The earlier you enter, the higher you are in this thread, and the more time you have to get ratings. You can enter more than one picture.

Members, please check out this thread and click on and rate pictures that you like. Your ratings are confidential.

The winner will visit the WaveSpin Reel website and tell me which reel they want. WaveSpin will ship the brand new free fishing reel to the winner! Simple and easy as that! Enter away and good luck!

Lets see some great fall fishing pictures and thank you for participating!

[bigjc]

Lets try this again....Here is my youngest with his first fish, which made for an awsome camping trip.

I'll take a shot at it.  I took this picture this morning on White lake, with my cell phone.  It hadn't even rained yet in our area, but there was a rainbow.  Well, when I started catching fish by the channel, I got caught in a down pour.  Good times!

[Mike S.]

That is my entry, but I'm not smart enough on this computer to get the BB image code up.  I've been trying, and now I am mad at it!

You needed to upload the picture to your image gallery through the gallery link, not by attaching it to the post. Computers only do (or don't do) what we tell them. No sense in getting mad.

You already have it uploaded to the Image Gallery I see. Instead of attaching the picture to the post, go to the General Outdoors or Other Pictures and click on your picture.

Click on your picture - White Lake rainbow 9/15/11 - and then scroll down to the Image Linking Codes below the picture.

Copy all the 'code' from the BB Medium Image Code text box.

Paste that code directly into your new post. The picture will magically appear linked back to the Image Gallery. So easy... a caveman can do it.

[Mike S.]

Am I smarter than a caveman now?

[djkimmel]

Yes! You are!!! Congratulations!

Is that about right? Three fatties!!

[djkimmel]

The description appears to fit... but you didn't upload it and link to the Image Gallery. See instructions above if you want to do that.

[Mike S.]

Ummmm...... I don't recall seeing anything in the contest about skin to win.  You can't try to sway the judges in such a manner.

[djkimmel]

Don't worry. Not the right kind of skin to sway the judges... though... the 'judges' are really all of you getting people to go rate your picture! Do some campaigning!

[djkimmel]

Still time to get in on the WaveSpin Reel Picture Contest #3!! Where's all those great pictures?!?

[bigjc]

Yahooo...I love this contest!!!

[djkimmel]

Think you pulled it off again?!?

[djkimmel]

I think you might be right!

Congratulations bigjc! You win another FREE WaveSpin Reel in a landslide!

I'll send you an email and alert Russ at WaveSpin this evening. Take a look at their website if you don't already know which reel you want this time.

Talk about easy to win free stuff!!

This is the winning picture with 177 views and 6 ratings averaging 5 stars!



Getting in early helped and it didn't hurt to be high up on the cute meter either!!

[bigjc]

Sweet, and I haven't even gotten to the pictures of my girls yet...LOL

[Mike S.]

Congrats!!  But, I've got some artillery lined up for the next one, if there's another one.

[djkimmel]

There will be, but not until next spring. I hope to start earlier next year. I hope the competition gets fierce! We need more pictures! I know there's more of them out there!

[bigjc]

Ok I guess I will hang on to those pics of my princess fishin'

Sounds like a challenge Mike...LOL
