Fish to be currently owned by the person submitting the photograph!

Hi Lisa
Good idea.
Question
Does the photograph have to be of a fish you still have, for example , i have photographs going back several years.
I think one of the criteria should be "fish currently owned by the person submitting the photograph" . That would give lagitimacy to " 2012" tital. What do you think.
