Of the three finalists in the competition, Jim Osborn's photo "Northern Pike-Lake George" was selected as the first place winner. "It was a comfortable day with a lot of activity and we caught the pike at the south end of the lake with flags and a tip-up" said Jim Osborn of Derry, New Hampshire, reflecting on a trip to the Lake George Winter Carnival with his friend, Carl Schumacher. Second place went to Steve Harriger of Belfast, New York for his photo "Learning to Fly Fish-Cedar River Flow" with Christine S. of Clay, New York placing third for her photo "Air Pike!"
