Thanks Dan, Sally, K, Jeff and Deborah for your comments.
This guy was caught last Monday, along with a few dozen of his close friends. It was raining most of the day so I took this shot back at the house. A piece of blue poster-board became the "water"...(though I doubt if the Chesapeake was EVER that blue.)

Great shot Bob!I was going to ask you where you found that beautiful blue water!I bet he was delicous! #723895

Thanks Karen,
Yes, he (they) were!
Just got back with another tasty batch a short time ago. (Yumm!)
This time, the weather was great (beautiful sunrise), and I re-shot a similar composition over the actual water where they were caught.
Also got some great shots of the watermen working their trot-lines with the sunrise behind them.
Can't wait to get the slides back!
