« A primer on how NOT to shoot fish pictures | For Backlash: A dedicated belly/pontoon boat thread »
As I promised in the entry below, here's a good shot of my brother, Greg, with one of the many steelhead he's caught this winter out in Oregon.
As far as basic fish hero shots go, this one is solid. My only suggestion would be for him to pull off the shades.
While growing up in rural Southern Oregon, Mark Taylor developed a passion for the outdoors while he and his younger brother tagged along with their father on fishing, hunting and camping adventures.
Graduating from Northwestern University in 1988, Taylor spent four years as an officer in the U.S. Navy based in Norfolk before moving into journalism.
After five years writing about the military for a Norfolk-based publishing company, he became the outdoors editor at The Roanoke Times in 1998. He lives in Roanoke with his wife and twin daughters.
Beautiful fish...
Hopefully Greg will bring back two more and informs us when he cooks those fillets.

Not only does the fish look a whole lot better in the second picture, so does your brother.
Speaking of fish, Mark, someone gave me an 8-lb. rainbow trout this weekend. It's in my freezer right now. Oh, what I wouldn't give to have a smoker...

I'm sure Greg will appreciate that, Lindsey.
An 8-pound rainbow? Wow. I've got a smoker and would be happy to see what I can do with that trout. Or you can borrow the smoker.
