Rich the Taxidermist's son Matt went out on Lake "O" last week and bagged his first king salmon. Congrats Matt, well done.

Our 247 Member of the Week feature is a voluntary effort, this week featuring a really nice photo slideshow provided by happy crappierThanks for supporting "Member of the Week". If you want to submit a photoslide show, put one together using your photohosting account's software. Then send it to fishin_musician using our PM (personal messaging) system. I'm not particular about your slideshows content. You can do a species theme, or a time period theme. Of course some fish are always nice, but feel free to use other stuff that makes it a slide show about you. Lets see what you all can come up with!

The 247 Member of the Week feature is a voluntary effort, this week featuring a photo slideshow provided by esoxman. Create your slide show in PhotoBucket or whatever photohosting service you use.
