BTT KEEP ‘EM WET Photo Contest

1

In an effort to raise awareness about the importance of proper fish handling for catch and release fisheries, BTT has launched a KEEP ‘EM WET Photo Contest and they want your best bonefish, tarpon and permit #keepemwet photos! The contest is sponsored by Orvis in partnership with KEEPEMWET Fishing, YETI Coolers, ARC Fishing, Montauk Tackle and Fishpond.

BTT’S favorite shots will be featured in the March issue of the BTT journal, with the winner earning a possible journal cover, along with lots of other great prizes. If the photos feature fish, they must be bonefish, tarpon, or permit and the fish must be completely or partially in the water. Photos that depict bonefish, tarpon and permit habitat will also be considered.
