Write The Caption: Win a Prize
By Tim Romano
Photo by Tim Romano
By now you should know how the flytalk caption contest works. We put up a funny or amazing photo and you write a caption for it. A week or two later Deeter and I pick a winner and award the lucky person a fabulous prize.
The prize this week was graciously given by Omega Aquatics and their revolutionary new fins that retail for $169. Easily the best pair of fins I've ever used for kick boating or float tubing... Yeah they are different, but perfect walking around, rigging up, and walking your boat to the water. For more info click here.
Oh, and if you're wondering who won last weeks caption contest I'm gonna have to give it dyobcire who wrote "Clearly unimpressed by the fly stuck in it's mouth, the offended Mako quickly approached the boat to confirm that some ballsy enthusiast was actually trying to catch him with a fly rod." Congrats! Please email me to claim your fishpond cooler.
Good luck. We'll anounce the winner of the fins late next week.

This has to be the Crappiest campground we've ever stayed at.
Wow, out of the gate... a contender. Nice one Koldkut.
The fish I caught was so big that they a made a monument to it by the lake.
Ditto that Deeter.
Wow. My Photoshop skills suck.
I swear, that fish gets bigger each time Tim tells that story.
that is one big crappie taking one big crappy.
"My wife said I could not keep the mount in the house so..."
"The boys did not believe the size of the fish until I showed them this!"
I'm going to have to vote for Koldcut, but I'll throw my hat in with:
"Yet another gratuitous, pedestrian grip an’ grin."
"Hmmm... I wonder if this is what he meant by "The Crapper"
After Bob, the fish breeder, mixed Crappie genes with the wale shark genes, all he had to say was "What the f***???"
Hmmm, nice mount Bill, you can place it next to the beer can monument of NASCAR...
You know you're a redneck when...
"Well, catchin' the fish wasn't near as hard as landin' the taxidermist."
My wife wouldn't let me get a bigger fillet knife, so I had to mount it.
as soon as i got her out of the water i said to myself, im gonna her mounted
And you thought my wife was starting to look big...
"Now throw him back," his dad said, "I told you using PBR as bait you'll only catch rednecks. If you want to catch a blue collar try Sam Adams."
"I always knew that the day would come when you'd find that son of a b**** that ate your pa."
yrs-
Evan!
The worlds biggest taxidermist bill.
Man, that live bait we're using looks an awful lot like Dale.
You shoulda seen the one that got away
But officer,I haven't had anything to drink!
What fish?
Officer,you should see what is in my right hand ...
holy crapy thats a big crappie
you guys think this is in the size limit for keepers?
I told my wife I was getting another mount, she said it was ok... I told her it was a diff. type of mount, maybe a 'bigger' range of detail.. she said sweet... come to find out... the 12 by 16 foot space next to the TV, apparently wasnt as sweet as she thought, now its stuck outside in the yard
Yeah, thats a big fish story but I have the fish to back it up!
That's a Reelfoot crappie if I ever seen one!
Can you believe that it will fit in Kirby's Pocket?
I only kept a small one for the table
They call me King Crappie
He was even bigger in the water!
The crappy here in Texas really go after that new Frank Fly.
And you said I couldn't lip a 2000lb fish with one hand.
"The "great fish" that ate Jonah was really a crappie!"
the mount says it all
Though Bob had hoped for something al little bigger, at least wasn't skunked.
I've got bigger fish to fry!
Yep it was only a five lb test line and only took 15 min to reel him in. you got a chain saw with you?
The NEW 'CrappieSpruce' tree. Give great shade. Only drawback is it needs plenty of water and attracts cats.
I dunnow, caught it on 5 weight rod and a hand tied fly. It's awful hard so I'd say it was a Rock Fish. Gotta say, it was a hellofa fighter, though.
This fish was caught and killed for eating a shihtzu. We call it "big crap eats a little shit"
Nice fish Bob. It's almost as big as the one I caught last week.
Dear Senator,
The heck with the bank bailouts. I could use a little help with my taxidermy bill!
Sincerely,
Tim
We had heard there is a cult of religious zealots at the local campground that worships a large fish-like God...
I caught this one with a fly rod and a stick of dynomite. I hope the Game Warden doesnt see this issue.
From RonCo, the new and improved Pocket Fisherman! It will help you catch the big Ones.(results may vary)
Holy crap! Those trees are yellow!
After the family pet turned on them and swallowed the children, Bill Borland had to have him put down. Here, Bill stands with his preserved, beloved fish.
Even wary giant crappie can't see the hook buried just under the skin of the bait.
Kirk the Crappie waited patiently for Tim to lose his balance leaning on him, and suddenly "fall" into his mouth.
The giant crappie became strangely aroused at the sight of the little man...
Able to leave its water hole, this Crappie swore revenge on the person who caught his mother and caused her lots of grief. Lucky for Tim he learned the art of taxidermy and had this mount done in record time.
The girls all tell me size doesn't matter but I'm not taking any chances.
"I know the camera adds 20 pounds, but Tim sure needs to go on a diet" - Mrs. Tim Romano
Okay, So cleaning won't be a problem. But, Grilling the fillets have me stumped!
Honest, I didn't know this was over the limit!
What did I use to catch that 500 lb. crappie? A 25 lb. cricket, what else?
The Crappiosarous was once thought extinct 2 million years ago until world famous photographer Tim Romano snapped a photo of the giant walking with his boyfriend in the park.
What do you mean , second place......
This little fly may not look like much but once when I was at this little campground down from the house, I landed a 573 pound, 8 ounce crappy...no seriously...look I took a picture.
see jim i told you putting a little whiskey in the water helps...
We put the crappie here, and the fly I used to catch it is erected just off of Highway 89 in Logan, Utah.
Who didn't see this coming? Performance enhancing drugs have now entered the sport of fishing! Unfortunately this will not count as a record, the Crappie tested positive for FGH (Fish Growth Hormone).
I think I'm gonna need a larger fillet knife; and on second thought.... another freezer!
Who you callin' a panfish?
I love the flaky white meat of a Pan-man!
Thank God for photoshop! Once I get this photo of the local lake in the background, while standing on my boat, I'll sell thousands of guided trips.
You should have seen the one that got away ...
I have a fishy feeling about the crappie smell in this area.
The "taxadermest" took my truck as down payment ...
The side effects of polluted water may be an uncontrollable crappie.
Only one keeper today, guess the wife and kids can eat bologna.
For all the huntresses on the site... "Which smells like crappy? The crappie or the F&S editor?"
Despite finally being in the spotlight, the lucky fisherman felt outshone by the sunfish in his hand
Never throw away your unused steroids.
DNR proposes new tactics to controll the Asian Carp but didn't consider it also eats 5 Canadian Geese a day!!!!
At $14.95 a linear square inch.Ima Lier was glad that he had hit the "Power Ball Lotto" the same week as catching the new "all line class world record."
This is how I convinced my wife I really did need a bigger boat!
Well? Yeah! But the one that got away...!
Give me the ready hand rather than the ready tongue.
And they said the nuclear power plant would HURT fishing!
Nice catch, but did you have to let him pee on the lawn.
A story worthy of "Hip Boot" protection: This proves true the old tale of catching a fish as big as a Volks Wagon, and it was causht using the infamous "BEETLE."

The Ted Kennedy memorial was erected in honor of his... "stellar" service to this community.
Dad?!?
Dad?!?
I think I'll use this for bait, can't wait to see what takes this........
Not long after Michel Vick's conviction, we find out what happened to the rest of the steriods they were using on those dogs.
Honey, we're gonna need a bigger skillet.
Honey, we're gonna need a bigger skillet.
Having given up on landing Moby Dick Cap'n Ahab finally was successful with a smaller specie.
Can't believe I ate the whole thing.
Hmmmmmmmm. Weather Vane
Please! Please! Please Deet let me win those fins. A giant crappie ate one of my fins off my foot and now with only one fin I just go in circles.
What about the government dumping confiscated steroids in the water?
Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water
Found... solution to world hunger
Boy , I could be bait for this
Hey Tim, I dunno, something around here smells fishy, I just can't put my finger on it.
Date of catch 7 inches. 15 years and hundreds of stories later and WALLA !!!!
"What a crappie picture"
Give a man a fish, you feed him for a day.
Teach a man to fish, you feed him for a life-time.
Cheese. Get me from the other side.. Cheese. You like that.. Cheese. Hey big boy, smile for the camera.. Cheese.
Deeter: "Hey Romano, take my picture next to this big fish."
Romano: "No problem Deet. Stand next to the fish like Mr. Peanut would and stick your hand in his mouth."
Deeter positions himself in front of the fish.
Romano: "You look great Deet." Click "Work it baby." Click. "The editors are gonna love this" Click.
Deeter: "Timmy, I can't believe we get paid to do this".
Romano: "Me too Deet". "Me too".
Deeter: "Looks like we are out of beer". "Time to head home".
Romano: "Good call Deet".
After landing the fish the next problem was finding a wall large enough to fit the fish.
you know those little ponds you think there can't be any fish?...well there's fish.
taxidermist bill: $3499.99. ever think you'd catch a trophy you wish you didnt?
