My dad is famous!

Alright, I am just kidding. But my old man did win the UFC photo contest after I entered a picture I took of him. They posted his picture on the website now after I submitted 4 pages of legal stuff allowing them rights to use the picture.

Since my camera I used costed less than $100, I am fairly certain the contest didn't contain any professionals. I don't expect to win any other photo contest in the near future. The total prize package total is "over $200" but I can't imagine the hat or fish gravy costing that much. Maybe the glasses are special fishing glasses. I am not positive, but suspect the reason for winning was either his exposed chest hair or the cock-eyed hat wearing style.

What in the heck is fish gravy?

In the words of the official UFC Photo Contest site "Beautiful shot, Kyle!" it is truly "stunning". Way to go. I wish I had me some fish gravy.

I have never heard of fish gravy before in my life. I have heard of spraying worms with WD40, or using cigarette butts, but not fish gravy. I hope it works.

Looks like you get some custom flies, which I'm guessing can be pricey??? Or maybe the process of making fish gravy is so tedious, it drives up the price of the whole package . . . Anyway, way to go!
