(and Glen, and anybody who might know me) I hadn't been to this forum for a very long time, but ended up snooping around over here this morning.
I was quite surprised to see (a painting of) my photo in your avatar. First of all, its not a problem whatsoever. Heck, I think its kind of flattering. But their is an interesting story along with that photo....
About 4 years ago, one visitor of my site, with a very sharp eye, e-mailed me to say;
Hey Fish Chris, I found this place selling t-shirts, and one of them looks just like you on it !
He was right. Here's the original photo;
It was a 12-11 from Clear Lk. Cal. It was a nice fish and all, but still, I have a lot of nicer, and bigger bass photos floating around on the internet, so I don't know why they chose this particular one.
Then, some time later, I was surfing around again and found some Hawiian Bass site using this same photo ! Huh ?
Ya' know, I don't mind these places using my photo, but just out of good etiquette, it would have been nice if they would have asked me first.
I e-mailed the place that used my photo for the painting on their T-shirt (the one in your avatar), and they replied saying, they got it from a stock agency..... So I asked for the name of that stock agency, and they never replied back.
Anyway, I had joked with my buddies saying, I bet they don't sell 3 of those T-shirts with that big ugly guy on them :-) LOL
Anyway, just kind of amusing,
Peace,
Fish Chris
