A members kid with a good fish and an avet can win. We have had a couple of kids win in the past. I don't see a problem with giving to the future of the sport.
The reel must be in the picture. The reel must also be held by the angler. There may be a reason you can't hold the rod and reel (enormous fish, etc) and we'll judge those as they come in. If you want to guarantee yourself a chance then hold the reel in your hand. I haven't been doing a great job of deleting the posts without the reel but I will be more vigilant. No reel in the picture and you're gone. Reels in the rodholders go to the bottom of the list for judging.
I'm 50/50 on guides submitting pictures for anglers. I'm going to talk to others and we'll come up with the answer. I'm more inclined to be ok with it if the person in the picture is a BD member. If they are not a BD member then no, the picture will not count. Before anyone gets their panties in a bunch there is a big difference between a members kid with a fish and a guide and his customer.
