My goodness, you folks made it really hard to pick a winner!
We had 82 entries in our free bonefish t-shirt contest (you left a comment telling us why you want to fish Andros Island this winter; we picked the best comment), and the quality this time around was incredible. There were a good 15 entries that made our final round of deliberations, but in the end the winner was Cory, with this super thoughtful write-up on why he wants to fish Andros Island this winter.
I want to fish Andros this winter to feel the warmth of the sun on my neck instead of warmth from the woodburner, feel the weight of a bonefish in my hand instead of the weight of a splitting maul in my gloved hand, to look out and see white sands instead of dirty white snow, to wade in sun warmed water in shorts instead of icy cold water in insulated waders, to see my wife laying in the sun in something pleasing to the eye instead of flannel jammies and wrapped in a blanket, to hear the waves gently lapping on the shore instead of the cold wind thrashing against the windows.
Cory, your shirt is on its way. Thanks to everyone for participating!
