New Caption Contest: Iaconelli with Fly Rod
By Kirk Deeter

I think the Field & Stream website has reached its traffic-driving zenith with their photo essay, led by an attractive, topless Euro chick hugging a giant catfish ... Realizing that I simply cannot crash through that ceiling, I bring you the next best thing... one of the world's most notable pro bass anglers happily engaged with a fly rod...
You know the drill... write the caption, win a prize. This time the winner gets...
...an autographed, personalized copy of my semi-obscure book, Castwork, Reflections of Fly Fishing Guides and the American West... a $40 value, just in time for the holidays. Good luck.

i really hate Basscar...
okay now your just showing off!!
Taste like chicken!
Here, bite down on this while I pull the hook out.
Over the lilly pad, off the stump, behind the log....with your teeth!
Hey look,someone finally found a way to shut him up!
I should really buy a razor, or a new five weight.
MMMM!!!Yummy Yummy Sage Rods,
Taking "Eat", Sleep, and Breathe fishing to a whole new level.
Hey! I think I got a bite!
Toothpick, right? No? Then what is it?
Best retriever I ever owned
That guy won't cast toward our boat again!
FANATIC meets fieness(?), or "Fetch ! good mad-dog" !
Fact: Iaconelli can cast better with the rod in his teeth than you can with your arm.
"Who you callin' a fairy flinger?"
"Dude, Mike, it's just facial hair. You don't actually need to act like a goat."
fly fishing,Tastes great less filling.
"Look, No hands"
You're gonna need a bigger rod.
If you can't catch a fish, you are forced to eat the much less tasty rod. Keep fishing.
Because of a recent sponsor dropping him, Iaconelli is taking drastic measures to fill empty shirt space.
That's the ugliest rod holder I've ever seen. Cabela's Bargain Cave strikes again.
Caught my city limit, but had to use my teeth.
So easy, a caveman could do it.
Novice Fly-Fisher learns the hard way how to cast, bracing for the hook removal (we wont say from were).
Hey BABY!!
Oooh, somebody stop me!
In a small pond near Talladega, Alabama, anglers try their luck at catching the extremely rare and very aggressive Giant NASCAR Snapping Turtle.
I introduce to you Mike Iaconelli, featuring his new Iaconelli Benelli, for him, it's like shooting fish in a barrell.
I'm holding it with my teeth so I can untie the enormous bird's nest off my nads, that's why!!!
When they said this rod was indestuctable, they really meant it!
Wow! For once Iaconelli has his mouth open and isn't being annoying!
When I said he Literally slept, ate, and breathed fly fishing I was serous!
Iaconelli is a god when it comes to bass fishing. Hands down my favorite BASS angler.

Wow, I just realized I copied someone with no intentions, don't use mine, I forfeit my saying.
"I need both hands to deal with MY fly!"
it needs salt
if the fish wont bite i will
Forget about the carp that broke the girls jaw...this one just "broke my back". Now get it out!
This just in...ESPN is sad to report that after being struck by lightning while on the lake with his pet golden retriever Mike Iaconelli has been behaving strangely like a dog. On a positive note Mike's dog, Sparky, appears poised to finish in the top 10 of Stren Series Bass Championship.
Look at me! Look at me!
This might explain the cigar floating down stream.
Humans bite and won't let go.
Humans bite and won't let go.
Losing a bet sucks. At least this time Mike only has to hold a fly rod in his mouth for an hour. Last time he lost the bet he had to fish the whole day with a Snoopy Catch 'em Kit.....
Mike's dentist recomened to floss at least every other tournament.
did the rookies trick him into fetch again?
and they say fly fishing is peaceful
Largemouth on a fly tackle!
This thing sure isn't gonna pay the bills on the tournament trail. So I guess I'll just eat it instead.
Dang - I hate it when my wind knot catches my fly - zip!
Bob said he was "fulfilling every fly-fisherman's dream" by taking Iaconelli out for a day... Iaconelli had to stand like this for hours while Bob fished in peace, and silence.
Sit!
This fly rod is incredibly easy to use and still almost weightless that you can put it on your mouth!!!
Here bite this while we sew a couple more sponsor patches on...
come on guy's enough of the the picture's i really do have to pee..
Wanna peice of me,trout snob...
"This isn't your average trout fisherman"
P.s. The Castwork book is awsome, I have spent many quiet evenings in the fly shop reading Castwork, I am not all the way through it, I kinda skip around but I love the essays. Tidelines is great too.
Sage was late with their sponser check so...
"No,I said flyrods bite"
"No ,no ,Can you get a bite on my rod."
"No..No.. Mike,I said can you get a bite on my flyrod ?"
I can't teach that damn dog NOTHIN!!
And I thought the headgear I had to wear to bed in 4th grade was bad!

NOW THAT"S GOOD! A +1 for you!
Worlds most expensive toothbrush, dental floss included.
Don't try to take my rod from me!
We all have good and bad days on the lake, this day in particular appears to bite!!
Mmmm, bamboo better.
Much like sharks, I investigate foreign objects by biting them.
Here goes the neighborhood
"False Teeth... Real Flyrod!"
A good tie... even the pros can't help themselves.
He can retrieve, but can he point?
Ace Ventura: Fly Detective
Force-fetch is an unpleasant but extremely important part of the retriever training program...
give a man a fish, he eats for a day. teach a man to fish he eats for a life time. teach Iaconelli to fly fish...everybody starves.
Baitcasters...Prepare to die!
Lay off me I'm starving!!
ok, i can't talk smack, scream, cry or throw a tantrum like a 2 year old. soooo...now what?
this is what happens when you are hungry and catch nothing
You did say this was made out of carrots, right? Right?
Bite this while we pull the hook out.
Now featuring the new " Pro Series Bobblehead Rodholder"
Tank full of gas $45
New dinner clothes $65
New Hat $15
All you can eat flyrod dinner Priceless
This week fetch, next week I learn heel.
Yum! This is the best fly rod I've eaten in days!
In a rare photographic opportunity, Iaconelli shows off his secret cast...
Stupid me why did I lose that fish.
As you can tell I have chewed Trident all of my life. You can tell by my pearly whites and my strong teeth.
Mike getting his daily serving of fiber.
"And this is what I think of Flyfishermen"
After Mike got skunked,this is all that was left of the guide.
basstastic!
daddy, daddy, I couldn't find the paper, and i just peed on your pipe and slippers, will licking this rod get me some pupperoni? oh pleeaase daddy, huh?
I know it's just another tournament, but either through that fish back in or your fly rods a goner!
so much for flyfishing being peaceful...
can any boy say flymaster classic winner
can any boy say flymaster classic winner
Does the silver from the reel accent my wonderfully white teeth?
Are you sure this is the best method of fly casting?
when is this contest over? it's getting harder and harder to find this article to see a finish to it as it keeps going further back in the news line
maybe caption contests on F&S should only last a week or two
Agreed!! when is this bad boy gonna close? It's been going for over a month now.
"Anybody seen my pole?"
this guy's a real wildcat,man!! we seen him one time . yeah-boy,he's wild!!
"Fetch Mike, Go Get It"
