You Asked For It: Win a Free Vado HD Camera!
By Generation Wild Admin
Ben C.’s reply to the Perfect Gifts for Hunters post got me thinking: I like taking a video camera in the field, but because of the tapes, batteries, tripod, etc., it’s sometimes a hassle. I love the idea of getting a camera that’s got it all in one—like the Vado HD.
Our Generation Wild Pro Staffers will be shooting video for this blog with Vado cameras, and it just so happens that we've got one extra...so we're giving it away! After all, ‘tis the season for giving, right?
First we need a contest. We’re going to steal a page from the playbook of our friends over at FlyTalk and have ourselves a little Caption Contest. Just submit your most creative caption for the photograph above in the comment field below and you’re in the running. It’s as simple as that. We’re looking for you’re A-material here, and judging from some past posts, we have some comedians on board. Give it your best shot. We’ll select the best caption and award the Vado camera to the winner!
The contest starts today, and we'll be taking entries until Midnight (Eastern time) on Sunday, December 27. After that we'll go through the entries and pick the winner.
This is quite possibly the best prize we’ve ever offered, and I’m excited about reading some of your replies. Make it tough for us to choose a winner! Good luck! —Ben

Carp: "I got caught by THESE GUYS!?!?!"
"Smile real big. We can photoshop a bass in Later!"
Merry Christmas y'all!!!
Merry Christmas to you to TK.
"That's a carp eating grin if I've ever seen one!" Question: Can we have multiple captions, or just one.
2 Suckers 1 Carp!
And by the way, Ben, Love carp on the fly. My new sport. I'm working on starting the "Spey" carp style, thats fun. Good post, keep em coming!
Jerry that was good! haha
Some men would rather be photographed with their fish than with their wives.
Great Success Carp Fishing!
The Big Nasty
This is good stuff guys! I like starting the day with a good shot of humor like this. Keep 'em coming! :)
It saw my coat and jumped right in the boat!
Mirror, mirror, on the wall; hey I think this one would look pretty good there!
I think its prehistoric! We'll be famous!
"You couldn't tell by the goofy smile on his face that he had just fished a piece of garbage out of the water."
Hey. A fish is a fish, and that is one of the cooler ones!
I knew people were going to get angry at that comment. I'm with you. I believe that a 5 pound carp is just as good as a 5 pound bass. If it gives me a fight, then it's fun to catch. I'm going to keep just as many bass as I do carp: 0.
First time I hooked a carp, It felt like I hooked a record smallmouth. the thing was about 2 pounds. They fight better than any stupid bass of equal size, and are actually alot smarter than bass. How many times have you caught a carp on a purple or pink plastic worm or something else completely unnatural?
It doesn't matter how natural the bait looks to sucker or carp fish. They don't have very good vision so they use their nose to guide them. You probably don't catch many of them because they bite few and far between. You have to get a strong smelling bait and leave it sit there so they can find it with their nose. I catch all mine on powerbait and thats probably the most unrealistic thing there is. It's just a blob of smelly putty.
First of all, I've never caught a bass or a carp with a pink plastic worm. Quite frankly I've never caught a carp in my entire life because I've never had the opportunity to. I think that we can agree on one thing, whether it's a bass, carp, trout, or bluegill on the end of our line, we love fishing.Second of all, we totally jacked this thread. Let's get back to jokes. Which is what this pointless argument started with: a joke. Don't be offended.
Sorry for the double post, but Tommy posted literally the same minute I did. Thank you, Tommy, I didnt want to bring this up because I didn't want to get more people angry. Now, back to jokes.
Tommy, what are you talking about? Stalking carp is like going after bonefish, they have great sight. You end up spooking more than you see because they saw you first. The smell thing is BS, I catch more carp on dry flys than anything else. I don't know but last time I checked a size 14 elk hair caddis doesn't have a smell. Carp feed using 3 senses, sight, smell, and movement. They aren't stupid like many people say. I can go out and blind cast for bass and get 30 or 40 a day. I can't do that with carp, Ill be lucky to get 1 or 2 if i do. Carp are very hard to catch, get out and do it on a fly rod and come back and tell me there stupid.
Who ever said anything about carp being stupid? I know I didn't. As far as stalking carp goes that wasnt what we were talking about. The topic was about carp being smart unlike bass that eat plastic worms and non realistic looking things which I believe YOU posted. Next time you go calling people out why don't you read the things you post. If you catch your carp off flies well thats great. I catch mine off powerbait does that mean that your right and I'm wrong? This website and this particular thread isnt designed to start fights or stir anyone up. If you disagree with somthing keep it to yourself. Sorry to Ben R for jacking this tread and to anyone else that has been offended. KEEP IT JOKES FROM NOW ON!
Fellas, Fellas. . . Carp, bass, walleye, or minnows. . . And plastics, flies, or stinkbait---it's all good!
1001352786,1212,775,Ben C."
Ben R, I completely agree. Ben C, that's a pretty good one. I still don't know if we can have multiple captions, but here it goes. Carp: "Put me back, this is embarrasing!!!"
"oh my god oh my god, facebook pic!!!"
First of all I would like to apologize since I am about 50% responsible for starting this argument. I have been a follower of this site since the beginning basically, and this is the first "big" argument that I've seen and I'm thankful for that. If anyone here has been on the Field and Stream or Outdoor Life forums you know what I mean, basically every third comment is worthy of hitting the report button for language, personal attacks or whatever. I appreciate ALL the opinions and lets keep a good thing going.
