Caption Contest: Write the Best, Win a G.Loomis GLX Rod
By Tim Romano
Yup, we're giving away another rod this week. It's a nice one too.
Since it's October, the good folks at G.Loomis thought that we should be giving away some salmon and steelhead graphite. All you have to do is write the funniest caption to the image above for a chance to win your choice of ANY G.Loomis Native Run GLX series rods. Of course the line weights run from six to nine. These rods retail from $685 to $715, so choose your words carefully.
Get to writing and good luck. We'll announce the winner next Wednesday, Oct 17.

The IOC levied penalties last week against the U.S. Olympic relay team when it was disclosed that the team decided to dispense with their conventional training methods, choosing instead to run their heats in an Alaskan river wearing waders and passing nets between them, instead of the standard issue baton. Members of the team said they had no choice in the decision to this unorthodox training method. "The fishing were call us," said one anonymous team member. "Plus, we were using steroids...even if it does look like we are unnaturally happy dashing through the surf!"
