Who takes the best photos at NWKA?

Guys, it is Paul Lebowitz from Kayak Fish Magazine. I'm looking for tasty high resolution photos for future stories. The right person can make some extra tackle money and get a small measure of fame. Thanks for reading.

Waiting for a teleconference to come online...

I'll throw my fiancee's name, Michele Carter, out there since she is one of the few folks I know who takes a DSLR out on the saltwater since I drag her out but she's not so much a fisher as a photographer.

Here are a few sample albums.  It's hard to tell which are taken with iphones and which are DSLR shots.  Generally speaking, mine are the crappy "look what I caught" shots and hers are the more general higher quality kayaking shots.  I think though uploaded at a lower resolution, she has higher resolution photos on her hard drive.

I have quite a portfolio of high resolution kayak fishing related photos, who should i send them to/ what kind of format are you looking for?

I'll vouch for Fil/YakBum!! That guy is a ridiculous shutter bug!!

Fil - hands down. He knows kayak fishing, knows photography and puts it all together. I'd love to see even more of his images make it into the fishing mags.

Man, I've been wondering who this YakBum guy is.

I agree, Fil / Yakbum is always taking photos.  He also field tests waders

What about Hung aka Pixster?

Pixster takes great photos

Oh, agree there too, pixster took great photos of my wife and I at Westport

I will say FIL takes great photos, but I would also like to throw my hat in the ring.

yea, pixster takes really good photos too

Craig is pretty good, and I am not just saying that because he is my personal photographer.

Hung has taken some pretty amazing shots too!

Thanks for the many responses! I'm sending PMs directly those those who raised their hands. There's nothing secret in there. Feel free to pass the word. Kayak Fish is a national magazine; I'd like every region to be well represented.

I might as well take this opportunity to say we aim the mag at the kayak fishing core - it isn't stuffed with beginner how-to. We take a lifestyle approach, and focus on the people and their stories as much as we do the fish.

We're all about story-telling. You'll find traditional long-form outdoor features. There's knowledge in there, but also good reading. Our spring 2014 edition features Polepole's 50 mile trip down the John Day. (Get in more pictures next time Allen!)

Oh ho, surf carnage!  I always feel guilty when I shoot those. I do it anyway, but so far I've been careful to only post photos of anglers whose faces are obscured.
