Still looking for Mooch photos for a national magazine story

We're still looking for good photos of our dear friend Joel, the legendary Mooch, for a national magazine story in his honor. It will run in the spring edition of Kayak Fish.

Many of you sent photos. Thanks! Unfortunately, most are too small for glossy print. It's not your fault. NCKA came to life during the infancy of digital photography.

In particular, we are looking for Joel living the kayak fishing life he loved.

To get just a little technical, I need photos no smaller than 1MB in file size. By dimension, a 3000x2000 jpg will give our photo editor plenty to work with. Smaller might be okay. Please look for original, unedited photo files. PM me for an email address or other delivery arrangements.

Just your best photos please. Post them in this thread if you like, so we can all give them a look. We want to do justice to Joel. That's our main motivation, but we will also pay for photos we use.

Many thanks.

Paul

Taken the event we were named the Storm Troopers.

classic Joel

Miss you bro!

 

will these ones do?

they are of large file sizes

I killed my hardrive last week and lost all my photographs, lots of early ncka photos.  photANgle had a bunch from the first mooch paddle, actually he claims to have shot them all  , so he probably has a good portion of them.  Al'sHobie also had a few of them that he printed.   Heres the very few I had uploaded to an online album.  I know they're crappy camp shots but all of these predate his diagnosis, they're all mooch, just being mooch. 

The post of Adam and Joel with the pasta that exkayaker posted, I have the original but it is out of focus.
I bought a bunch of kid fishing rods for our group and you can see they turned into kids. This event was set up to send care packages to our troops.
Joel Man Van II- We went and bought this in Modesto after the wonderful generosity of our group via PIF

my favorite...
