Caption Contest: Write the Best, Win a Gear Grab Bag
By Tim Romano
It's been too long since I held one of these. So I thought what better way to end the week than to have a caption contest. You all know how this works.
Write what you think is the best caption to the photo here and we'll choose a winner on Thursday June 21. The winner will receive a signed copy of Deeter's "Little Red Book of Fly Fishing," Goat Head Sole Spikes for your wading boots ($21.95), a Rio Gold 5wt fly line ($69), and a few Greenbacks stickers.

Chalk another one up for the trout. It makes you wonder what they are saying about you, when with your best Tom Cruise impression, you try to untangle yourself from the big on that got away. I smell another fishing story coming to explain this picture.
People relax despite appearances I got this.
The Total Outdoorsman Manual did NOT cover this
"Son of a biscuit eater"
"He's no Brad Pitt" or
"Ohh way to go Brad Pitt, way to run right through it"
Tim instantly regretted his latest and greatest tackle organizing purchase.
I know the end is here somewhere?
Apparently watching the new movie Salmon Fishing the Yemen taught Frank just as much on Spey casting as A River Runs Through It taught him when he first took up the sport.
But Field and Stream made it look so easy.
Be careful, your shoe's unti...
Think .38 special, so caught up in you.
"So caught up in you, little line
You're the one that's wrapped around my knees
So caught up in you, long little line
That I never will get myself free
And trout it's true
You're the one
Who caught me, trout you showed me
How bad a flyfisher I am"
G#@!*@$*t F*&@$#g S#@$!!!!
Dammit, my buddy swore he deleted that picture.
No, no, I meant to do this. Yes, it is supposed to look like this. It's a new technique, I saw online.
Tim Romano tried to teach Dave Petzal how to double haul but Dave it fit to be tied over the whole experience.
The back cast backfired I guess
And now there's a piece of gravel in my boot.
Norman Maclean he is not...
"Fly Fishin', Sply fishin'. Who wants to fish for flies anyway?"
The web is tangled for the weaver . . .
When that $%^&* fish throws his Deceiver.
I keep a close watch on this LINE of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time.
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you're mine,
I watch my line!
I HATE snakes!
"I think I'm finally getting the hang of this."
...around the tree, down the...wait a minute...
"If a bad day fishing beats a good day at work, then I sure don't want his job"
I should have spent less time looking for these stylish waders and vest and spent more time on casting lessons
Caught the biggest sucker in the river
Kirk Deeter giving a seminar on proper line control, and only possible given you'll leave your wading staff at home.
Honey; we'll have fish tonight my @$$.
Baby; If we had to live on what I shot and caught, we'd starve to death.
This is what your brain looks like on drugs.
This is what your brain looks like on drugs.
I'm going back to worm fishing. Catch more fish and I don't need all this expensive crap.
And I'll bet that guy in the fly shop is laughing all the way to the bank.
Hey I resemble that remark. Seriously; This guy could be me and that is no caption.
If you think this is bad, you should see my fly box.
...now gently throw the fly-rod down and pick up an ultra-light spinning reel.
what Cabelas spring catalog model looked like when the cameras were turned off
This is my friend John Gullable's first time out after we told him to cast 3'oclock 9'oclock. our sides still hurt
"Spiderman. Spiderman. Does whatever a spider can."
The guy at the flyshop set me up with everything I needed for my first Steelhead trip from head to toe...except for teaching me what the hell I was doing.
What did I just step in?
Fit to be tied
How do you tie that knot again?
I tied the knot just how you showed me, but it doesn't look anything like yours!
Just because I caught myself doesn't mean you have to throw your fly at me thinking I'm a fish!
Then the guide looked back at his client and thought about the want ads.
"No, really. I can totally pull off a Shadow Cast!"
the Tangleup technique
the Tangleup technique
"I really stepped in it now"!
"Where did that knot go"
The people that say "you have a better chance catching a fish having a line in the water than not" have clearly not met this guy!
The new and improved "line dance", sure to help any available angler pick up trout.
Sayfu self portrait.
Cat's in the Cradle.....Outdoorsman Style
Looks like he's building a trout snare
"I don't understand,this is exactly how Pat McManus said to do it."
Outdoors Spiderman
Got fishing line?
This guy actually sucks at fishing
Dont drink and fish
Who jumps rope in a river?
This floss sucks
This cod piece pack was a bad idea....I can't cast worth a flip or walk straight!

One thing about it, fall off a cliff grab some fly line it will be wrapped around somethin'!!!
the art of flyfishing.......essentially
...Yep...Right in the spawn sac...
Been there, Done that
Hey man you got your trout line in my salmon line. No way man you got your salmon line in my trout line.
"I'm so glad im not an electrcion"
Memory line?
Where's the hell is the reset button!
Real funny guys, tie a real fly on my line!
like a fly caught in a spiders web
This is what fly casting instruction looks like, after you read all the Sayfu comments on Fly Talk.
(Sorry dude, you take 10,000 swipes at me, including the one above, so I'm taking one back.)
And for the record, I'm ineligible to win the prize for my own book.
Suddenly tenkara seems like a good idea...
how you know you've hit rock bottom
...and heres a knot i learned in Boy Scouts.
Meterson...YOu got it! And that is Deeter! No wonder he is pushing Tenkara rods so hard!
The Big Box had everything he wanted... except lessons.
Despite setbacks with his initial prototype, Bob was convinced there lay a future in 8 wt compound bows.
The not so perfect cast.
Dang fish have me have me all wrapped up.
F*#^%$ing wind knots!
Hank's expirements in combining live bait and "fly" casting were largely unsuccessful.
Oh what a tangled web we weave when we first practice to deceive
Life as a fisherman is very hard for Pinocchio: he can't lie about his catch, he was eaten by a whale and he always gets tangled up in those strings. But on the bright side, he always has plenty of crickets for bait...
This is why i am switching to Tenkara.
Never drink and double-dutch on the stream.
Doh!
Kirk Deeter...No need to apologize!! Man up! Out West here we Cowboy up. No need to cower. I enjoy a good bantering about.
Finally, moisten your knot and pull sharply to tighten.
Now I think I pull on the green line and this knot should be tied.
I thought you said casting this thing wasn't that difficult?!
The wife wonders why I am so tired after fishing all morning.. little does she know half the time this is what I'm actually doing.
Still beats going to bed bath and beyond with the Mrs.
all caught up and no fish to fry
Now how long do i wait before i catch the fish
"oh great, now my waiters are leaking"
Even his Albright rod didn't make him much brighter...
What the guide says to him: Thats alright your still learning.
What the guide is thinking: You IDIOT! Every ****in week I deal with this crap!!!
Kid: Dad are you sure you're doing that right.
Dad: It's my new technique don't worry.
(Dad is always right even when he is wrong)
Three married guys decided to try fly go fishing. After an hour of having trouble learning to use fly fishing technique the following conversation took place. First guy: " You have no idea what I had to do to be able to come out fishing. I had to promise my wife that I will paint the bedroom next weekend." Second guy: " that's nothing, I had to promise my wife that I will remodel the kitchen for her." They continue to fish when they realized that the third guy has not said a word. So they asked him. You haven't said anything about what you had to do to be able to come fishing this weekend. " What's the deal?" Third guy: " I just set my alarm for six o'clock. When it went off, I shut off the alarm, gave the wife a nudge and said, " Fishing or Sex" and she said, " Wear a Sweater
Looks like my first day of flyfishing...
Fed up with sub-par fly tying, the trout decided to fight back.
Seeing a newbie in their midst, the trout opted to play cats in the cradle...
Now where did that fish go???........
When Steven arrived for a day of fly fishing the trout were waiting to ambush him with silly string.
a bad day of fishing is still better than a good day at work
Maybe if I put my foot down, and the other one next to it, I can catch this fish in between and that will save me all this line hassle.
Someone said fly fishing was relaxing.. Well their full of *$&@.
I think if I brought the net, I could have been home by now.
The wife is going to be so happy, those dancing lessons we took last Fall, is going to get me out of this horrible mess of line! And she said I'd never dance.. HA!
It's always easy to spot the "undercover" PETA agent their first time trying to infiltrate a fishing camp!
...and you thought you had a bad day.
It's OK, I am a professional.
Put down the baitcaster they said...
no more rat's nests they said...
flying fishing is relaxing they said...
This is what happens when you try to yo-yo with a fishing rod.
Well.... It's still better than being in the office.
Where is my fly? How did it get on the bottom of my shoe?
The best gear can only take you so far...
organized chaos
They said my skills as a puppeteer would cross over to fly fishing...
S*&t, did I really step on my fish?
Line management? Important? Surely you jest!
Trust me ... I know what I'm doing.
Damn, I thought I had that Bimini Twist down pat...
Quiet! I'm expressing myself through interpretive fly casting!
What knot to do when flyfishing.
so after he was hooked, he actually swam around me twice and leaped right over my head three times before he broke off!
The proper way to jig for trout.
It was worth it.
"Tangled"
Whenever the fishing gets slow, Steve puts his marionette trout into action.
My spider fly was feeling a bit homesick....so I'm spinning him a web.
I thought I saw him in here somewhere?!!
No, spinning in circles while attempting a double haul will not get you that extra distance you were looking for; no matter how much you think centripetal force will help.
No i swear spiderman taught me this new technique but i just cant seem to hold my hands right.
Fishing, a relaxing experience..
...On the South Platte
"this aint no dream...this is a nightmare!"
Still better than working.
"The grind" of flyfishing!
Rock the cradle and then around the world and then walk the dog and then...
Son of a gun, I'm never ready for that run back upstream.
Tim was unaware that he also could be infected with whirling disease.
See..right here is a Celtic Cross.
And when the rod unloads all of the line goes where?
Man, these Montana drunk driving tests are hard.
I just can not get that nail knot right.
Tim confuses double haul with double dutch on occasion.
The story that every fisherman never tells.
My own interpretation of the Infinity Knot.
Damn It, I know I should have not got the mood changing line. Its almost all orange now.....
No catch with this release.
Ok, ok I got this...if I could just find the, now where did that surgeon's knot go?!?
don't think i could write anything funnier that what probably happened lol but here i go...
this is why you don't take someone out for there first time in the wind...as he was fighting a massize steelie his "friend" cast, the wind took it around his neck...his "friend" then freaked and tried to pull his line tight so as to avoid it wrapping around the other guy, but it didn't work, just made it worse...the guy fighting the steelie, snapped off and the wind blew the excess all over him...
Foiled by the coil.
Ya, well you won't think it's so dang funny if we don't find the truck key's....and NO! I'm not sorry I didn't stay home and clean the garage like your sister Hilda wanted.
AHHH dang is that bear bear crap….yup its bear crap that’s going to leave a stain. Dang these are new boots.
Yep just stepped in a big pile of trout poo again. #figures
I knew I should have listened to Beau about this... I better send him the picture!
"Dang, this looked a lot easier in the video!"
"These canyon winds sure do mess with a back-cast."
Cast, check. Hook fish, check. Pull in line, check. Net fish, auh no.
Unaware to Curt, a very large cat was gazing curiously at the large ball of string.
could be worse, could have a grizzly bear chasing after you
I just smiled knowing that this would be a lesson in stream etiquette the new guy would never forget.
"WOW, who's green line is this? why cast at me? You wanna scrap?"
Since I have been in this precise situation with my fly line - I will enter the caption that is always running through my head...
"Mother F@(#*$^......"
"Maybe hanging my waders while I fish wasn't a time saver.....I look like one of my casts!"
New from Roland Martin Industries: Silly String Sink Tip
Not funny guys! Who replaced my bear spray with a can of silly string?
I remember my first false cast.
I forward casted when I shoulda' false casted. Or, was it I back casted when I shoulda' forward casted? Ahhh.
Knot sure if this is how you make a homemade net but it should work
As I went into my back cast and turned toward him, I laughed knowing that this would be a lesson in stream etiquette that he would never forget.
what happens when a bass fisherman watches the Outdoor Channel and thinks "i can do that".
stick to catfishing Bubba
all ready for the total outdoorsman challenge!
Hold on.. this is part of the proceess..
Gunther Gebel-Williams never took to fly-fishing.
AAAAAAAAHHHHH! GET IT OFF ME!!!
The copperhead dance will ruin your backcast everytime!
You have reached Deeter's guide service all lines are currently tied up.
When your fishing partner catches you : A Spike Lee Joint
See your doctor for erections lasting more than 4 hours.

Stupid Youtube videos
Stupid bagage handlers. I TOLD em it was not DET Cord!
Catch and release: You're doing it wrong.
Field and Stream said this was a good rig. They are full of crap, I've never fished with a worse spinning rod.

he could go ahead and lose te rest of his pride if he starts raising his arms up and down, signing, " I got no strings to hold me down"......only parents will remember disney movie quotes.....
Norman learned real quick to fish farther downstream when Paul started to "shadow cast".
"Go fly fishing they said...it will be relaxing they said..."
The app on my cell phone made this knot look a lot easier to tie...
Even at it's worst, it's still the best!
Spiderwire.....You mean Spiderweb!!!!
This isn't right is it?
I watched the guy on television do it a hundred times!
"Take up fly fishing," they said. "It'll help relax you and relieve the stress of the week."
"Riiiiiiiiiight."
"No, no its ok I know how to tie that knot"
This is what happens when you are trying to impress the hot chick across the river, and she takes off her top.

Chalk another one up for the trout. It makes you wonder what they are saying about you, when with your best Tom Cruise impression, you try to untangle yourself from the big on that got away. I smell another fishing story coming to explain this picture.
The Total Outdoorsman Manual did NOT cover this
"Son of a biscuit eater"
"He's no Brad Pitt" or
"Ohh way to go Brad Pitt, way to run right through it"
Tim instantly regretted his latest and greatest tackle organizing purchase.
I know the end is here somewhere?
Apparently watching the new movie Salmon Fishing the Yemen taught Frank just as much on Spey casting as A River Runs Through It taught him when he first took up the sport.
But Field and Stream made it look so easy.
Be careful, your shoe's unti...
Think .38 special, so caught up in you.
"So caught up in you, little line
You're the one that's wrapped around my knees
So caught up in you, long little line
That I never will get myself free
And trout it's true
You're the one
Who caught me, trout you showed me
How bad a flyfisher I am"
Dammit, my buddy swore he deleted that picture.
No, no, I meant to do this. Yes, it is supposed to look like this. It's a new technique, I saw online.
Tim Romano tried to teach Dave Petzal how to double haul but Dave it fit to be tied over the whole experience.
The back cast backfired I guess
And now there's a piece of gravel in my boot.
Norman Maclean he is not...
"Fly Fishin', Sply fishin'. Who wants to fish for flies anyway?"
I keep a close watch on this LINE of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time.
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you're mine,
I watch my line!
I HATE snakes!
"I think I'm finally getting the hang of this."
...around the tree, down the...wait a minute...
Kirk Deeter giving a seminar on proper line control, and only possible given you'll leave your wading staff at home.
Honey; we'll have fish tonight my @$$.
Baby; If we had to live on what I shot and caught, we'd starve to death.
This is what your brain looks like on drugs.
I'm going back to worm fishing. Catch more fish and I don't need all this expensive crap.
And I'll bet that guy in the fly shop is laughing all the way to the bank.
Hey I resemble that remark. Seriously; This guy could be me and that is no caption.
If you think this is bad, you should see my fly box.
what Cabelas spring catalog model looked like when the cameras were turned off
This is my friend John Gullable's first time out after we told him to cast 3'oclock 9'oclock. our sides still hurt
"Spiderman. Spiderman. Does whatever a spider can."
The guy at the flyshop set me up with everything I needed for my first Steelhead trip from head to toe...except for teaching me what the hell I was doing.
What did I just step in?
Fit to be tied
How do you tie that knot again?
I tied the knot just how you showed me, but it doesn't look anything like yours!
Just because I caught myself doesn't mean you have to throw your fly at me thinking I'm a fish!
Then the guide looked back at his client and thought about the want ads.

Dang fish have me have me all wrapped up.
F*#^%$ing wind knots!
Hank's expirements in combining live bait and "fly" casting were largely unsuccessful.
Oh what a tangled web we weave when we first practice to deceive
Life as a fisherman is very hard for Pinocchio: he can't lie about his catch, he was eaten by a whale and he always gets tangled up in those strings. But on the bright side, he always has plenty of crickets for bait...
This is why i am switching to Tenkara.
Doh!
Kirk Deeter...No need to apologize!! Man up! Out West here we Cowboy up. No need to cower. I enjoy a good bantering about.
Finally, moisten your knot and pull sharply to tighten.
Now I think I pull on the green line and this knot should be tied.
The wife wonders why I am so tired after fishing all morning.. little does she know half the time this is what I'm actually doing.
all caught up and no fish to fry
Now how long do i wait before i catch the fish
"oh great, now my waiters are leaking"
Even his Albright rod didn't make him much brighter...
What the guide says to him: Thats alright your still learning.
What the guide is thinking: You IDIOT! Every ****in week I deal with this crap!!!
Kid: Dad are you sure you're doing that right.
Dad: It's my new technique don't worry.
(Dad is always right even when he is wrong)
Three married guys decided to try fly go fishing. After an hour of having trouble learning to use fly fishing technique the following conversation took place. First guy: " You have no idea what I had to do to be able to come out fishing. I had to promise my wife that I will paint the bedroom next weekend." Second guy: " that's nothing, I had to promise my wife that I will remodel the kitchen for her." They continue to fish when they realized that the third guy has not said a word. So they asked him. You haven't said anything about what you had to do to be able to come fishing this weekend. " What's the deal?" Third guy: " I just set my alarm for six o'clock. When it went off, I shut off the alarm, gave the wife a nudge and said, " Fishing or Sex" and she said, " Wear a Sweater
Looks like my first day of flyfishing...
Fed up with sub-par fly tying, the trout decided to fight back.
Seeing a newbie in their midst, the trout opted to play cats in the cradle...
When Steven arrived for a day of fly fishing the trout were waiting to ambush him with silly string.
a bad day of fishing is still better than a good day at work
Maybe if I put my foot down, and the other one next to it, I can catch this fish in between and that will save me all this line hassle.
I think if I brought the net, I could have been home by now.
The wife is going to be so happy, those dancing lessons we took last Fall, is going to get me out of this horrible mess of line! And she said I'd never dance.. HA!
It's always easy to spot the "undercover" PETA agent their first time trying to infiltrate a fishing camp!
...and you thought you had a bad day.
It's OK, I am a professional.
This is what happens when you try to yo-yo with a fishing rod.
Well.... It's still better than being in the office.
Where is my fly? How did it get on the bottom of my shoe?
The best gear can only take you so far...
organized chaos
S*&t, did I really step on my fish?
Line management? Important? Surely you jest!
Trust me ... I know what I'm doing.
Damn, I thought I had that Bimini Twist down pat...
Quiet! I'm expressing myself through interpretive fly casting!
What knot to do when flyfishing.
so after he was hooked, he actually swam around me twice and leaped right over my head three times before he broke off!
The proper way to jig for trout.
It was worth it.
"Tangled"
Whenever the fishing gets slow, Steve puts his marionette trout into action.
My spider fly was feeling a bit homesick....so I'm spinning him a web.
I thought I saw him in here somewhere?!!
No, spinning in circles while attempting a double haul will not get you that extra distance you were looking for; no matter how much you think centripetal force will help.
No i swear spiderman taught me this new technique but i just cant seem to hold my hands right.
Fishing, a relaxing experience..
...On the South Platte

My own interpretation of the Infinity Knot.
No catch with this release.
Ok, ok I got this...if I could just find the, now where did that surgeon's knot go?!?
don't think i could write anything funnier that what probably happened lol but here i go...
this is why you don't take someone out for there first time in the wind...as he was fighting a massize steelie his "friend" cast, the wind took it around his neck...his "friend" then freaked and tried to pull his line tight so as to avoid it wrapping around the other guy, but it didn't work, just made it worse...the guy fighting the steelie, snapped off and the wind blew the excess all over him...
Foiled by the coil.
Ya, well you won't think it's so dang funny if we don't find the truck key's....and NO! I'm not sorry I didn't stay home and clean the garage like your sister Hilda wanted.
AHHH dang is that bear bear crap….yup its bear crap that’s going to leave a stain. Dang these are new boots.
Yep just stepped in a big pile of trout poo again. #figures
I knew I should have listened to Beau about this... I better send him the picture!
"These canyon winds sure do mess with a back-cast."
Cast, check. Hook fish, check. Pull in line, check. Net fish, auh no.
Unaware to Curt, a very large cat was gazing curiously at the large ball of string.
could be worse, could have a grizzly bear chasing after you
I just smiled knowing that this would be a lesson in stream etiquette the new guy would never forget.
"WOW, who's green line is this? why cast at me? You wanna scrap?"
Since I have been in this precise situation with my fly line - I will enter the caption that is always running through my head...
"Mother F@(#*$^......"
"Maybe hanging my waders while I fish wasn't a time saver.....I look like one of my casts!"
New from Roland Martin Industries: Silly String Sink Tip
Not funny guys! Who replaced my bear spray with a can of silly string?
I remember my first false cast.
I forward casted when I shoulda' false casted. Or, was it I back casted when I shoulda' forward casted? Ahhh.
Knot sure if this is how you make a homemade net but it should work
As I went into my back cast and turned toward him, I laughed knowing that this would be a lesson in stream etiquette that he would never forget.
