About That Northern Pike Photo...

Apparently there is a photo of two northern pike attacking a third, smaller pike going viral out there in the internet/Facebook world. Several months ago a kid in Estonia (of all places) posted the photo on his Facebook wall, claiming it was a photo he took that weekend while fishing...and it got passed around online in that country quite a bit. Now it has captured the attention of a bunch of German pike fisherman and is making its marry way around that country as well. There are no photo credits attached to the photo, or even accurate mention of when and where this vicious pike attack took place. Well, here is the deal...It is my photo. I took it on 10 May 2009 while fly fishing Lake Ladora in the Rocky Mountain Arsenal near Denver, Colorado. Since posting it online I have had many people contact me asking to use the photo in a number of different applications. Always I have agreed. For free. I am not a professional photographer...just stumbled onto the opportunity and snapped the shot. Perks of spending so much time on the water. I posted it online to share the image with other die-hard pike fishermen...and others who may enjoy or be amazed by the photo. It would be nice if I got some photo credits, though...
