Well I asked F&G about it on tuesday, via Facebook. here's what they said:
NH Fish and Game: Hi Beast - That photo was submitted to an online photo contest that Union Leader held last summer.
Me: Oh, okay I was wondering how you found it. It was a bit of a shock to suddenly see it all over the place. Well, you guys are welcome to use it - I'm flattered, actually. BTW I got some good ones of the 2012 Derby as well.
NH Fish and Game: Anyway - it would have been nice of us to try to find you and inform you of the picture's use, and for that oversight, I apologize. The rules of the contest gave us permission to use the image as desired. There was no contact info associated with the images. Again, sorry. I should say - THANKS - it's one of our favorite shots! smile.gif
So apparently last summer the Union Leader held a fish picture contest on behalf of F&G and the winner would be puiblished in the new 2012 brochure. I submitted one then promptly forgot about it. They say there was no contact info but I remember putting up an email on the form. But yes, to enter I had to agree to free use, and they're making heap plenty free use, all right.
