Caption Contest Winner Announced
By Kirk Deeter
First, things first... how about a shout-out to our friends in New Orleans? Nice job Saints... let the good times roll. Colts fans have reason to hold their heads high also.
Now that you've all seen our report on the "Grip-n-Grin Institute", can you guess which of these Louisiana redfish is larger? One outweighed the other by at least two pounds. When you guess, can you explain why both fish look roughly the same?
As for the Fly Talk Caption Contest on staged grip-n-grin photographs, we're going to award the prize to Dickie, who said... "Photoshop Charters... The Big One Never Gets Away." E-mail tim@angling trade.com, and he'll hook you up with your new Scientific Anglers fly line, my friend.

CONGRATS!!Dickie.
Congrats Dickie....I am gonna go out on a limb and say the red on the right weighs more...The one on the left doesn't seem to have as much belly as the right one..probably also has something to do with the size difference of the two outstanding anglers holding their catch...really hard to tell
i say the fish on the right is bigger. i would say the fish on the right 12.4 pounds the the fish on the left 10.2 pounds
The fish on the right is bigger. The fish on the left in the photo is being thrust forward, closer to the camera to make it look bigger... An often used low-down dirty trick(Never done that before, personally). Notice the arms bent at the elbow of the fisherman on the right , honestly presenting his fish for the photo.
Steve182 is right. Also notice how Deeter is covering the fin with his hand. Another Grip and Grin no-no.
A little pet peeve I have are the sunglasses. It doesn't take much to slip them off for the photo. It also tends to enhance the anglers expression.
Congrats on two nice redfish and congrats to Dickie.
the one on the right is further from the camera and, hence, the bigger fish.
yrs-
Evan!
You guys beat me to it. The big fish is on the right. Note that his tailfin is behind the other fish. Also look at the size of the fingers on each hand.
One fish
Two fish
Red fish
Red fish
Easy one, as everyone already pointed out, the fish closer to the camera looks bigger than it is.
Where's the blue fish?
Deeter's fish is bigger. The illusion is due to the fact that the guy on the right (looking at the picture) is of smaller stature. Same reason why my buddy's fish always look so big. When you are just a shade over 5 foot nothin', of course the fish look bigger! Small hands help him too!
That and the fact that Deeter has mad fly fishing skills (plus I'd like to hook up with him this summer so I'm not above a shameless suck-up)!
Oh, don't say anything to Kirk, but I also agree with Steve182.
And right about now either looks really good to me. I don't see any snow anywhere in that picture. And, based on the lighting and the sunglasses, they may actually be able to see the sun shining. I think we've had about 24 total hours of sunshine in the last 45 days!!
the fish on the right is smaller because the man holding the fish is actually just a quickly developed 12 year old boy who has grown accustomed to shaving his five o' clock shadow while standing on a step ladder.
My Dad calls this type photo an optical delusion...
Deeter is even foiling the "knuckle meter" test by hiding his fingers behind the fish. Deeter is a sly dog.
Why they both look the same?
Easy.
They are both very small juveniles.
They are as small as I've ever seen.
A couple of hundreds of miles away in Florida, the minimum Redfish is about 30 pounds.
That's still small.
We used to pursue them at Sand Island, Alabama in an outboard boat, with polarized sunglasses.
One day we encountered one typical of the old days.
Approximately 75 lbs and nearly black.
But I would suggest you go after them and "speckled trout" at Chandeleur Island, LA.
OK to fly in and land on the beach.
I will second that blackdawgz when the rainwater drins from the bay,I will be on them.the fish on the right is bigger.
My wife just left going to the Chicago area for a month to care for her father.And since the fish will be heading back up the rivers and coming out of the deep holes i am going to start throwing a DOA under a popping cork at some of their faces and looking for some flounder. Good fishing to all.
Nice job, Dickie! That was pretty funny!
The fish on the right is bigger. Using the size of the men, especially their hands, as a comparison, you can see that one is closer than the other.
The fish on the right is bigger for sure..Congratulations Dickie!!!
