If you have a photo of yourself or friends wearing O'Keefe's Reef apparel, please email it to us!

If you send a photo to us, please email us with your address at info@okeefesreef.com for your FREE OKR logo T-shirt. We'll need your size, and don't forget to include the name of the person wearing the apparel, where you were fishing, and what you caught. If you were fishing on a charter boat, the boat name and captain's name would be great.

< Parker S. Allie writes, "Just wanted to send y'all some photos of me fishing in one of your awesome shirts. I have the Tarpon T-Shirt I bought last year at the Everglades Angler in Naples, Florida. The other day I was wearing the shirt, while my friend Kyle Cook and I went out to the Lakes of Coppell in Coppell, Texas to chase some carp on the fly. We jokingly call them the "golden bonefish" because the fight is so much fun and we aren't exactly close to flats to chase bonefish...Coppell is part of the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex area. Hope you enjoy the photos and thanks for making classy apparel!" Carp aka Golden Bonefish caught at Lakes of Coppell in Coppell, Texas.

< Bruce A. Zolna writes, "I'm still wearing your shirts and chasing and catching fish whenever my partners and my clients let me.

[Here's a] picture of me holding a pair of nice Lake Trout (about 10 lbs each) which were part of a 10-fish limit my friend, Bob Ogarek, and I caught fishing on my Lake Michigan boat, "Autonomous", near the R-4 Buoy and reef about 18 miles north of my harbor (Du Sable in downtown Chicago, IL) this past Saturday, August 11, 2007. We got three Lake Trout (10-13 lbs), 2 Brown Trout (9 lbs & 14 lbs) and 5 King Salmon (7-14 lbs). It was our first trip up to that reef area this season, the first time I wore my Lake Trout shirt this summer and the first trip this season where we even caught more than one trout (Lake, Rainbow and/or Brown) on a single trip. I just had a "feeling" that morning when I picked out my shirt to wear on the trip it was going to be a "trout" trip.

^ Douglas Cameron writes, "In November 2006, my wife Nancy caught this piranha on a trip to the Amazon rain forest fishing on a tributary of the Maranon, one of the two rivers which unite form the Amazon. We were on a trip with Overseas Adventure Travel and our Peru hosts were Amazon Adventures."

^ Jeanne Lilienthal writes, "Both my grandson and I were wearing our O'Keefe's Reef T-Shirts on August 19, 2006. We were on the Captain Hook about 13 miles out off Key West Florida when we caught our first Tile fish and "Rosie"s as the Captain called them (they were delicious!). Every year I go to the Novi Boat & Fishing Show JUST to buy your shirts! We love them."

^ Steve Saliga writes," This time, I got a picture while wearing/showing my O'Keefe's shirt! Usually it's too cold in November to take a picture in a T-shirt but this year has been different! Here is a picture of me from Tuesday, November 28 on Elk Creek in PA. This is a typical Elk Creek Steelhead. The weather was perfect and so was the fishing!"

^ Kitty Heckathorn writes, "Here's a picture of my 7 year old son, Logan, fishing in the West Prong Little Pigeon River in Gatlinburg, TN. He caught a nice size rainbow trout in his Lil' Bluegill Angler shirt. In fact, over vacation the kids all wore their O'Keefe shirts constantly - it was a good thing there was a washer and dryer there!! I will be calling soon for more shirts, we love them - they are great, especially the Girls Fish 2 shirts!!"

^ Douglas Cameron writes, "Always stop by your booth at the Arts on the Bay festival in Alpena. Bought the hat this year. The tshirt is several years old."

^ Sandy Phillips writes, "My husband and I were fishing on Elk Lake near Elk Rapids, Michigan when I hooked into this steelhead. I was wearing my 'Girls Fish 2' shirt and my husband was wearing his walleye shirt."

^"My Cobia, caught June 30 at the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel, Virginia. We were fishing on my boat 'Knucklehead'. This was one of four Cobia caught that day."

^ Scott on the Muskegon river with a Michigan winter steelhead.

^ "Well, my record of 4lbs, 23" was destroyed by my Uncle Ken this year. He brought in a nice brown at 5lb, 24" on our float trip down the Madison with our guide Jamie. He also caught a few "pigs" on the Yellowstone that were of comparable size. He was very proud...until 2 days later when I brought in a huge brown at 7lbs, 26"! As soon as he hit, he came straight out of the water and I knew I had a nice one. Took be about 7 to 10 minutes to land. My uncle came over to net him, but told me to beach him because the net was too small. All in all, this trip was the best. We brought our small collection of O'Keefe's Reef shirts with us. None of the pictures really show them off well, but we had a different one on almost every day. Thanks for the great products!"

^ "I wanted to thank you again for the great hats this year. I attached a photo of the winning fish in our 4 boat tournament: Stuart McDermott caught a 31" Striped Bass (Rockfish) fishing in the Chesapeake Bay on the charter boat "The Worm" with Captain Drew Payne. FYI, our tournament will probably be in the Spring next year so we can go after the Trophy Rockfish."

^ "This past spring I finally got to Florida on a business trip and managed to squeeze in a day on a open head boat out of Clearwater. We caught a bunch of Grunts but I really wanted my first Grouper. With only 15 minutes of fishing left I managed to hook up with this grouper of about 7# for biggest fish on the trip. It may not look very big by comparison to me, but I'm 6'4 and 280#!

I purchased the O'Keefe's Reef shirt just for this trip.
Please feel free to post the photo on your website.

^ "Here are the pictures I promised to send to you from our trip in Montana last September. I only have one good picture without my vest on with the Rainbow in front of the Clark Canyon Reservoir. Sorry that I had my vest on for the other ones, but I can assure you that I was wearing my long sleeve, Cutthroat underneath. Trout are delicate fish, so I did not have time to take off my vest. The picture of the Brown Trout is 23" 4lbs, the biggest so far of all the trips with my uncle. Thanks for being such a great provider. The Zier's and the Habich's will be longtime customers."

^ Ted writes, "Okay, I finally got a fish wearing your shirt! Caught in Spanish Ontario this week, 28 inches. Fished at Brennan Harbour Resort, great place... Thanks!!"

^ "A girlfriend of our father was in town so we took him out fishing. I think he had the time of his life. It certainly ranked up there for me. We were about 30 miles off of Hilton Head Island, SC. sight casting with spinning rods on a wreck called The Betsy Ross. I had never seen schools of 20-30 Cobia. It was unreal.

Fishing that day on REEL JOB was Captain Woody's crew Russell Anderson, Rodney Peete, Jeff Toombs and myself-Luke McCoy."

^ "We were fishing the Coldwater Creek feeding into Arkabutla Lake in Coldwater Mississippi. The fish was a 15 inch white crappie just over 2 3/4 lb." Fire fighter Alan Farmer outfished his dad, Tom Farmer.
