Write the Caption, Win a Prize
By Kirk Deeter

Growing up on the Great Lakes, I developed a deep appreciation of "multi-disciplinary" tackle shops: The barber shop/tackle shop... The garage/mechanic/tackle shop... and of course, my favorite, the beer store/tackle shop.
As such, there's just something about this image of fresh coho fillets chilling in the beer cooler that makes my eyes well up, and my voice wobble. It's a cultural thing.
Capture that essence in a photo caption, and you will be richly rewarded. The prize is a pair of Ross Pescador 6 fishing pliers, valued at $150. This prize is available courtesy of Fly Talker MLH, who recently won the "Fish Quixote" writing contest. Because he has won so often for his various eloquent insights on Fly Talk and other blogs at fieldandstream.com, he graciously re-gifted the pliers for this caption contest. Thanks MLH... oh there I go, getting all teary- eyed again...
Good luck!

Due to Global Warming, the refrigerator in the Deeter household has gotten a lot bigger.
When catering to fisherman one should only stock the essentials. (Taken from a recent BBB pamphlet for business targeting fisherman)
I bet the the Salmon is insulted to be in a cooler with Pabst NA and Busch NA.
Only in Michigan.
The in-laws are coming over for a grill out. Their only request was no beer and no fish. I stocked the cooler appropriately I think..... WAIT... Who snuck the NA beer in here?!?! That's it.. picnic cancelled...
MLH- Much appreciated. Damn fine sportsman you are..
And on the 7th day God created the heavens.
Hooray fish!
The Alaskan guide secret stash has been revealed. Enough beer to keep a client happy, some NA beer in case he/she gets a little too happy but you need him/her to stay on the water to show up the other guides in camp, and some fresh filets in case you run out of NA beer and they wanted fish to take home...in this scenario, they won't remember where the fish came from anyway.
The recipe calls for the fillets to be soaked IN beer, not NEAR beer.
You are a good man MLH and a well deserved multiple winner.
University of Michigan football training room.
Can I have a little fish with my Beer?
*in best michigan accent* Oh golly, don'cha know.
The ingredients to the Smoked Salmon Vodka I read about the other day on fieldandstream.com
Ha dar, next time skip da fish more room for beer dar ha!
blue ribbon not just for beer but beautiful fillets
you should have seen the look on the wifes face when she opened the fridge
best prize package EVER..
Thanks MLH , you da man!
"Guys soak in this sight of pure beauty, cause after tonight it all will have vanished..........ay where's my budweiser!!?!?"
.....in the keg??...ok WE'RE GOOOOD!!!
.... And what in the H*ll are we going to do with all that fish.
This is not a caption, but who the hell drinks Pabst NA?
You say beer i. say fish. field and stream GO!!!! us

To not offend anyone! This is an Appalachian walk in freezer!
Contents of a fishermans bomb shelter, prepared for anything
Cordon Bleu Salmon, Breakfast of Champions!
You think we have enough for tonight?
You are not far off Dcast.
My guess is it's the back of Rich Rodriguez's moving van coming up from West Virginia.
The jokes on her next time she sends me to the doghouse.
Nice huh, you should see my walk-in...
. . . so these fish walk into a bar in Michigan, you see, and one of them asks for a non-alcoholic PBR . . .
When Life gives you fish, you better have a walk-in cooler full of beer.
Short on cash after buying fuel, Mike desperately tries to barter the days catch for other essentials at Bug’s Burger Barge and Liquor Store.
i remember my first fishing trip... on second thought maybe i don't.
What do you mean we need ice in the cooler? Whatcha think all that cold beer is for?
We have plenty of marinade for the salmon!
"We don't need all those fish."
For the Schitt reunion, they always stock plenty of non-alcoholic beer for the children.
Honest officer, I don't know where those fish came from.
And so Bandit and the Snowman took the bet to transport PBR and Salmon to Big Earl's party in Texarkana.
Someones ready for the apocolypse.
Thus, the reason 'spellcheck' is so ESSENTIAL at the Field & Stream offices.
some beer for the fish, a lot of beer for me!
Lets see- fish and beer and,?, I know I'm missing something. Thats right--FIRE!!!
We might not have jobs in Michigan but damn it we have fish and beer!!
The essentials.
The wife went to by beer and got the unleadded kind, so I had to catch some fish to add flavor to the beer
that's not a cooler, it's deeter's closet!!!
You heard about the beer can house right? Well were making a beer can fishing lodge
I'll take a chunk of salmon and a Pabst chaser.
hell, that's plenty of salmon. what we need is more beer.
Red Neck multi-cultural festival menu
Whatever you do, don't let this photo get to PETA. We'll all have our arses in a sling when they find out we used a worm to catch the fish.
hey dar thanks MLH! It looks like a Wisconson bachelor party dont cha'know.
Hello Muddah, hello faddah.
Here I am at Camp Grenada.
Camp is very entertaining
and they say we'll have some fun if Deeter starts drinking.
I went hiking with Tim Ramono
and came down with mono.
Wait a minute, it stopped hailing
guys are drinking guys, guys are eating.
Guys are fishing, now thats bettah
Muddah, Faddah please disregard this lettah!
. . . so as I said before, these fish go into a bar in Michigan, and one of 'em asks this old bartender, who's hard of hearing, "Where's a good place to get laid around here?" They end up "filleted around beer."
Methinks that someone might have been a bit over-zealous when preparing for the beer-battered fish recipe. Yet, I don't think the leftovers will go to waste...
Gives truth to that wise old saying: "give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day, teach a man to fish and he'll sit in a boat and drink beer all day."
this is my happy place
So, what did you put in the smoker? That was where you were supposed to put the fish.
Yea I've had a few, but I swear I had 3 huge fish goin after my lures.....
Ok, guys I got the beer and fish. Who brought the grill?
"Bill? Bill? Where are you Bill? Wait... That's not you...Is it Bill?
Shoot, we're gonna have to eat through all this salmon to get to the beer!
A quick stop into Roscoe NY's Antrim Lodge in the 1970's to get the latest fishing report from owner Doug Bury...and a beer.
Uggghh, "guys drinking guys" at Camp Grenada?
Nice one Moeggs. Typos are hilarious. . .
Now all I am missing is that supermodel and the pearly gates
Have a ice cold PBR with your fresh catch, because this is America.
"Hey, what's all that beer doing in the fishin' cooler?"
Alright, my Nutrisystem arrived today!!!!
Would you like some fish with your beer?
Did somebody say fishing trip in Canada?
"not a worry in the world a PBR on the way, life is good today", oh yeah, we also have some salmon, that makes life really good today.
yeah...that isn't what I meant. Can you edit that Deeter?I guess I had one too many beers!
McDonalds new annoying commercial: "Give me the fillet fish, give me the fish. Give me the fillet fish- ah hell! just give me a beer already!
This is what I call "Covering all your basic Food Groups"
"this looks like enough for the beer batter right? yeah your right lets get some more"
Mom said to make sure we had plenty of food and drink before we went camping for spring break...guess we were right when we said we could catch our food
We would have caught more but by the time when finished off the PBR and the Busch we all too drunk to fish
The American version of the English classic "fish and chips," "Fish and $hits"
The fish came because they were promised free beer, they somehow misunderstood.
"thanks again for lettin' me keep these here... I promised her I was just goin out to buy a six pack!"
7-Eleven ain't got nothin' on us!
"And you think the president has to make tough choices?"
Well... I guess That explains the late beer delivery.
... drop camp supplies. Check!
The only things a fisherman needs on any given day beer and fish, usually in that order.
Its the Canadian beer koozie / huggie eh. You take a cold slab of the salmon meat and wrap it around your beer. Keeps the beer cold when summer heat sets in, works in the lower 48 too don't cha know.
[From Chief Brody of the Movie Jaws] You're gonna need a bigger boat!
One good day followed by one bad night
I guess there is more than one thing you can get out of a blue ribbon trout stream.
The boys are planning for a big fish fry and pabst fest tonight. From the looks of things it will be a whole lot of beer and some sushi!
The next big drinking drinking revolution is targeted toward fishermen and women everywhere,. Ladies and Gentlemen, the coho keg stand.
thanks MLH, you da man
