Just received my Feb. copy of WA OR Game and Fish.........Hey that old guy on the cover sure looks familiar!! Nice nate, but no cover story.. Let's hear 'the rest of the story', Dave..

I haven’t seen the photo yet. I send out literally hundreds of photos to various magazines and should, but don't keep track of who has what.

They often hold the pix for months and sometimes even years. I do remember getting check from them recently. Once I see which photo they used, I will tell you the story. Even if I have to make one up.

If it is me on the cover, I’m pumped! All the years I have been in this business I have sold more than 50 cover photos, but have only been on one cover. Back in 1984 I was on a cover of Fishing Holes magazine. I had a seven-pound fish in one hand and a 15-inch jack in the other. The editor ran it because he said he didn’t know anyone who ever caught such a small steelhead.
:p

Well Dave, you are wearing a blue 'magna thin' hat and holding a 20# bright nate, and your beard is not as silvery as the fish........quite frankly, I'd rather see one of your calendar 'hotties' holding that fish,,,,,slightly bent forward to show cleavage.. :p

Peri:

Now I remember. That was a Thompson River fish. Caught in October of 1997. I do not think it was 20, but hey, it was a fine bright native fish.

Like you , I would rather see a pretty girl holding it. Try to just look at the fish.

Hot girl, near 20# nate, and Dave. Now thats a cover shot... Titled - "PimpNCast"
