Went out to my spot on the Bear River this morning before work. Caught a carp first thing and chopped him up. Went on to catch 3 big cats, ranging from 26-29”. All caught on carp meat. I think the catfish season up north is about to get into full swing! Biggest cat we caught ended up latching on to my thumb while I was trying to get the hook out, they sure do bite hard. On another note, I am new to the catfish contest. Has it officially started yet? ---

Sorry make sure you get a copy of the label to put in your photo and the rules are posted up top in the sticky area of that contest board… If you can’t find that area let me know and I’ll get you a link… Too bad to miss out on a 29" fish, that was my best one last year… Good luck… Jeff ---

First you need to have your cursor below your typed post. 2. Right below where you type your post you will see, “Add image to post”, click on that box. 3. A new box will open and you will see, “browse from your computer”, click that and it should open up the pics in your device. 4. Click on the pic you want to add, then on the bottom you will see open, click that button. 5. A new box will open and the pic you selected will be in it, then just click on the “upload” button and your pic should appear in your post. There is a slightly different method if you were using your phone to post a pic on your post, I can post that if you like? [/quote] ---

This is the method for adding pics from your phone, courtesy of CowbowPirate, if you have any questions about this method please contact him. I use an Android phone, not sure if an iPhone will be the same 1- Type your text for the post 2- Make sure your cursor is located in the post where you want the photo to be. If your cursor is sitting in between words in a sentence the photo will split the sentence 3- just below the post there is a blue icon with the wording " add image to post". Click this 4- a folder with the words “choose image” will appear. Click this 5- I then get a few options at the bottom of my phone as to where to find my photos. I always click the “files” option 6- now it may differ for everyone from here as you will have to find the photo and that depends on how you save and file your photos. For me I use the drop down menu bars on the upper left and hit gallery, but you may need to search by file name if you use files to organize your photos. 7- when you find the photo, just click on it and it will drop it in at the right aspect, wherever you had you cursor. ---

And you were right, it was waaaaaay too big so I deleted the post. Nice catch. I use my phone for taking the photos also. But because the BFT site is kinda small, hard to read with my old eyes, I send the photos home to my PC, do my posting from there, and any editing they may need to lighten, darken, resize, etc. [/quote] ---

Forest, you do realize that you can click on any photo on BFT and it will enlarge, as long as you use the method I listed above?
