“Michael The Maven App” is now available for native iPad use. (BTW- it was specifically designed for the iPad, and just had a little bug that prevented it from showing up on the store.)
Again, it’s free and you can download it here:

As far today’s fishing trip went: Wow…what a great day we had today! Our 6 hour trip turned into a 9 hours and all I can say is: It’s 7:26pm and I am completely wiped out. I am going to bed. Few more fun details, I lost my beloved Black Alabama Hat (its somewhere in the Pacific Ocean) along with my filter holder and set. One bump and another gust of wind and they were all gone. We still had a lot of fun and I took many pictures to post. And yes….we caught many fish!! I have a lot to share about this, we learned so much about fishing.
We ran out of time this evening as we didnt get back right until sunset, we are going back to interview the Fisherman who took us out tomorrow morning. I am loving how it is all tying into the new video.
Not related to this, but have you thought about not allowing comments to the photos you select for the main division. Some people are listing their favorites in the cell phone posts and this could sway someone to look at that photo a second time because someone else liked it. I just think it should remain totally anonymous and people shouldn’t comment on which photos they like. People tend to be followers and I think people should keep their favorites to themselves to keep everything fair.
I do not think Michael can please everyone. Everyone has their own opinion on what is fair and what is not fair about a competition. Michael has put forth the money, the time, and the resources to put this competition on and he is trying to run it as fair as possible with this many entrants. I am sure my work is not a winner because I am a beginner, however, I am very grateful for the opportunity to enter such a contest. Comments on the pictures may encourage some to enter again next year if the do not win this year. And like I said before this is just in my opinion, keep up the amazing work Michael. I can not wait to see the Main Division Nominees.
Perfect example, someone posted with the name ugh!
That person who is anonymous can be saying how much they love photo "x" when in reality photo "x" is their photo.
It gets people to take a second look at photo "x" when maybe it wasn’t their original favorite.
I’m ALL for allowing everyone on here to vote so don’t think that’s what I’m saying.
The rules are the rules and that should not change.
Allowing people to "talk up" certain images here on the blog I don’t believe has anything to do with the photo competion rules, and therefore might be able to be changed.
