Write Best Caption, Win Photographic Print
By Tim Romano
Many of you are familiar with our caption contests. Winners typically receive a rod, reel, or pair of waders—something to that extent…
The prize is going to be a bit different this week. We'll be giving away one of my limited edition photographic prints.
We can talk about your style, taste, and what you might like when you win the contest. But if you win and are interested in receiving something else, we can chat and figure out an amicable solution.
Good luck and get to writing. We'll announce the winner Monday Jan. 21.

Well, we didn't catch any fish...but at least we caught a buzz
I wish I could have seen the one that got away.
We didn't catch any trophies, just a few twelve inchers. Uh, I mean 12 ouncers.
When the fish aren't biting, there's really only one thing left to do, drink beer. It's a win, win.
Clearly, channel cats prefer domestic lite.
Give a man a fish you feed him for a day teach a man to drink beer and he will tell his wife he's going fishing for a lifetime.
Ahh, the lost art of beer netting. You just don't see it much anymore after the big AA movement of the 80's & 90's
No officer we haven't been drinking, just cleaning up the stream bank!!
Why he couldn't hold the camera level?
Why casting skills deteriorate as the day progresses...
Stu and Bill killed it on the trophy section locals refer to as "Tin Can Alley."
Now that is what you call a 2 man limit.
We hauled in a mixed bag, mostly silverbullets and a couple of Bluebacks. Nothing tastes as good as a fresh caught can still cold from the river.
The fishing was slow so we played "99 bottles of beer in the net".
I always tell people I put my net to good use when they ask me how I did fishing. When they ask me what I caught I tend not to answer.
Oh sure, there must be a thousand good ways to test the strength of a landing net, said burbpo, but the triple two pack was better than most.
Opening Day in Milwaukee.
The DNR is suppling the lake with 12 ouncers in hopes that one day they will turn into 40's
Quick someone tell Chad I found the guys who trashed his hunting spot!
The fishing gods answered many prayers by filling the stream with pounders.
This new guide didn't put me on one fish all day, but I can't recommend him enough.
We caught all the beer and drank all the fish
they stocked the lake with Budweiser the pollution turned then into coors....
"Ok...now back up to the 3 point line and see how you do."
"I'm not sure that is what they meant by TRASH fish."
"After Biden plays a round of golf, his secret service detail cleans the water hazzard."
"The Canadians believe that they have a new sport for the Summer Olympics that they have a chance of medaling in."
"Hurry up and take the picture, I have to pee."
"The catch of their lives..."
We drank all the fish *hickup* and we caught all the beer.
We used pull tabs for spinners, and look at what we caught!
"Are tall boys outside the slot limit?"
Men's Depends. The choice for discriminating fishermen!
This is why you dont drink and photograph. You cant even hold the camera straight!
I wonder what they are using for bait?
"Fly guys only fish for bottles."
"The silver one took a pony beer with a popcorn stinger."
"This is nothing. You should've seen the forty-ouncers we were pulling out of here yesterday."
While a he's a good tipper, Charlie Sheen's guides often get tired of cleaning up after an outing.
They say baits are marketed to appeal to fishermen, not fish...nailed it.
On big tourist weekends, the Jones brothers would often sit below Canoe Crusher Bend and wait...their beer would come.
Suddenly, out of no where, a member of the fish paperazzi emerged and surprised the 2 young senators on "official government business".
remains of "here hold my beer" victims found at local fishery.
While the ingenious idea of hiding the beer in the net would have worked flawlessly since the duo never seemed to hook a fish let alone need a net to land one. After a hat was blown off and they tried to retrieve it, the stash was found and consumed.
An example of the "great Jersey action" Cermele is always referring to
Hi...
"...and we're NOT going to tell you what we used for bait...!!"
Looks like a nice day full of native domestics for these two. No non-native imports for them!
Catch and Release. Catch a buzz, release the yellow rapids.
It's really about the time you...belch...spend on the water...belch...and the relationships forged along the way...belch...Not what you catch.
Rufus and Dufus proudly show off their catch after spending a productive morning chasing the elusive silver salmon that their guides had told them about.
I told you I could drink 48 beers and walk on water.
These guys weren't the only ones who netted their limit, camera guy cant even take a level picture.
Step 1: get drunk, Step 2: try to get fish drunk, Step 3: don't wanna talk about it
"You shoulda see it! The fish was THIS big!"
stories are often told by the, "I must a drank 50 beers" guy.
You'll eventually drink enough to where you can't make this shot anymore. You can barely hold the camera.
Catch of the day, every day.
Stay fishy, my friends...
The last one of these "contests" for this fly fishing blog (Redington waders) was so questionable I don't see any point wasting my time with another. Not being a sore loser either. The winning entry just wasn't funny. Not even slightly. A lot of clever responses were submitted even though the photo really had nothing to do with fishing. However, the "winner" was not one of them.
Sorry boys. I call em like I see em.
throw the fish back and make room in the cooler!!
Always check the local regulations so you know the legal limits!
Remember your designated baiter.
Field and Stream's new youth marketing strategy.
Nice job guys...
When you can't catch your limit get over the limit...
We might not have caught out limit... But we are defiantly over the limit.
We might not have caught out limit... But we are defiantly over the limit.
"Damn stockers!"
To the photographer: "Did you get it? We're going to have replicas made."
The new reality tv series "Milwaukee shores"
"Nice catch. Just make sure you release downstream."
After a long day of fighting it, we managed to keep our beer down. Maybe next time I will bring my fishing pole. Maybe.
This is what happens when you fish in the in-field pond the day after Daytona.
this looks like it is the perfect fishing trip, all that its missing is April Vokey.
I caught some can fish! though there better when you drink them instead of eating them.
"We spent all day on the water and all we caught were four Redeyes."
"Sadly, Bob and Joe failed to realize their net wouldn't hold ice AND beer, however they chugged on"
The latest invasive species.
Caught a nice buzz, not a record, but nice one.
Photo from the new F & S Lightweight Manual.
Ever wonder why people who fish get a bad rap?
This "CaNouflage Rock Fish" was hiding in plane sight.
Limited out in just half an hour.
Go get more bait, we're gonna be here for a while.
"Well we drank all the fish, and we caught all the beer!" -Brad Paisley
Boy, Come play catch with your daddy. You throw me a beer and I'll see if I can catch a buzz!
Never fish a spot after Hillary Clinton has been there!

My favorite type of fishing. Noodling, cooler style.
It appears that they have figured out the intricacies of noodling, cooler style.

The real reason why fish aren't biting
"well i dont think the chinese restraunt will take these"
After a hard day on the water all we caught was a hangover and bad case of the beer farts…
It looks like the great state of Louisiana will be adding another reality show to the list this fall. A name for the show has not been determined yet.
Mom wonders why it took eight years to graduate college...
Now we just need a net full of cash and hookers and we have a party!
Nothing about this in my entomology primer.
Match the batch.
The rare Milwaukee Stimulator.
Guys, we don't have tinsel that wide!
"Now was that Match the Hatch or Down the Hatch....Oh well"
Who cares about fishing, when you can drink up
That man can drink like a fish.
"Netty Light"
'Welp, I drank my limit."
a bad day drinking is better than a good day at work and there is never a bad day of drinking
I've heard of buzz baits but this is ridiculous!!
George and Bill traded their catch limits for the rest of the camp's drink limits
Persistance is the key to success while fishing Spring Break week on Lake Havasu.
Who the hell needs one of those expensive Yeti coolers to keep there beer cold when you have a net and some cold water!
Who knew you could catch water with a net?
Proving once again that seining the river can be a good thing.
So if I'm matching the hatch - would I consider a bar fly?
Hey, I've got an endorsement idea for zippered waders!
Photographic evidence that rednecks like shiny things. Now where are those UFO's??
C'mon Joey, get up. I thought you said we could fill this thing up by the end of the day.
