Latest Caption Contest Winner Announced

By Tim Romano

I have to say it was a monumental task digging through the slew of entries from our last caption contest. The woman in the photo is my wife sitting on a desolate beach near a salmon river in Alaska. Unfortunately for me, many of you thought she was a he. I've been "bearing" her wrath for putting it up for the past couple weeks now, but have been getting my jollies by redirecting her to your comments daily.

Out of the 239 comments there were quite a few laugh-out-loud captions and choosing was difficult, but in the end I had to give it to Capt. Koons who wrote, "Unfortunately, Jill Smith of Fishhead, Alaska wasted all her ammo writing in the dirt just before the grizzly appeared."

Capt. Koons email me at tim@anglingtrade.com with your shipping details and I'll alert the good people at Korkers to ship you out a pair of their Korkers Guide Wading Boots.

you picked one of the lamest captions out of the 239 IMHO

might want to take a cue from the other F&S caption contests and post a few of the others you thought were funny, honorable mention or something to redeem yourselves

Re-read TR's blog ... He had to endure and survive the wrath of his lovely wife; there has to be a room for error, she is holdin' the persuasion tool!

A Big Congratulations to Capt.Koons!
Shoot us a picture of you wearing the waders if you can.

Congrat to CaptKoons. Captkoons should win just for getting the gender right.

To Mrs. TR. I apologize for calling you a man but I have seen much more flattering photos of you taken by Tim. You have every right to be upset with him. lol

Aw heck, Buckhunter is probably no different than me: he needs bifocals to tie a blood knot, and didn't have em on that day. We all know Ellie's a BABE and are still shaking our heads over how Tim scored on that one... :)

Congrats CaptKoons - I remember your post and it made me chuckle too.

I am unhappy with the selected winner, not actually with the Capt. but with the caption. Waited for what seems like 2 months to find out the winner and I'm just disappointed. I have a feeling Mr. Romano was trying to save his arse here by selecting a caption that clearly announced the photographed person to be female when there were many more captions that were much more comical that defined the photographed as male. And Mr. Romano, what were you thinking? Putting a picture of your wife on the internet for the whole world to comment on? If you are in the doghouse, I'm not sorry for you, you should know better, this ones a no-brainer.

Woodstock. Agreed. TR has landed a good one with Ellie.

Heck, she's wearing waders and holding a shotgun. What more could a guy ask for.
