Slimy Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 This month’s new contest will be for “The Best Swim Picture”. This is a purely a subjective contest, not necessarily based on it being the best producing swim but the best picture of a swim. This is an exciting topic as we get to see many of your favorite swims from around the country and world! For the next three weeks members can submit pictures with a short description of their “Best Swim Picture”. Multiple pictures are welcome. The picture would ideally have some fishing gear in it, but not required. Entries will be accepted till March 28th 11AM. Voting will begin March 28th and end on Sunday April 1st at midnight CST, top three finishers, decided by member’s votes, will each get a CAG iron on patch, a CAG fish tape measure, and a CAG mouse pad. First place finisher will also receive an available CAG shirt of their choice! As a bonus, good pictures can also make a cool computer desk top or may be used in this year’s CAG publication. Let the games begin!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idaho Carpin Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 Do these pics have to be from this month or anytime? Just making sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slimy Posted March 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 Do these pics have to be from this month or anytime? Just making sure Good question Chris! Pictures can be from any month. As it is, we are still in winter which may make it difficult to get great pictures! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atxwheeler Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 I guess I will get it going. Here is a pic of Peg#8 at the Lake Fork tourney this past weekend. We had a lot of snags but it was a truly remarkable lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(OH) Vinsanity Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 Not sure if you can really consider this a "swim" since its just shows the lake and not the surrounding bank. Worth a shot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FJR1 Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Dan--In view of all the wonderful photos that have been submitted, in retrospect, the contest may have been a bit more manageable and the participants more active (rather than sifting through past photos) had you limited the contest to photos taken only in March 2012, had you limited the contest to photos that contain carp gear, carp anglers, or actual fish, and had you limited the contest to a finite number of photos per angler. However second guessing is easy, so I must say that I appreciate the idea and the opportunity. Here are photos of a few of my winter swims. More swims by season coming later.--Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first it's like "wow, so many pictures" and then it's like "man, are these some beeeeautiful pictures"! No problem... just come back and vote beginning on the 27th!!
