Last year's winning cover by Tim Dean How do I enter? Submit your photo of a live, healthy billfish in the water (or jumping out of the water) before Wednesday, May 6, 2009 and it could be chosen to be on the next cover of Billfish magazine. Please include a short description of when and where your photo was taken.

Second Place Winner: The second place winner will receive a TBF T-Shirt.
