Write the Caption, Win a Prize... The Shark Edition

Okay, we're going to kick it up a level... This shot comes to Fly Talk from our buddy Captain Dave Trimble, who is legendary for catching predatory sharks off the San Diego coast on the fly. Click here if you want to read more about this fish... probably the largest mako ever landed on a fly. If you have the nerve to try this, you might call Captain Dave; he's booking up for the summer. Stay tuned for more stories and photos on Captain Dave and his escapades in the near future...
Here are the stakes... a very nice cooler from fishpond, which normally sells for $79. Good luck...

"We're gonna need a bigger boat"
Bubba's craw-boil brings 'em in everytime.
Uh Oh, better get mako!
San Diego, check your your fly.
The Mako Shark, like any left coast politician, always falls for the chum.
i think there"s something in the water!!!
After several looks and no takes, Jim dropped from a #16 BWO to a #18 and the fight was on.
Leave your tippet at home
My Taxidermist will poop his pants when he sees what I done brung 'im.
Having checked around the boat Dave decided it was a good time to introduce his liberal PETA loving pal to water skiing.
Clearly unimpressed by the fly stuck in its mouth, the offended Mako quickly approached the boat to confirm that some ballsy enthusiast was actually trying to catch him with a fly rod.
captain dave caught me again?
Accidentally fumbling his lucky set of foreceps overboard, Dave was trying to decide if it was worth it to go after them, or just get a new pair.
Captain Dave draws the Mako in close so instantly upon hookup the leader will still be touching the guides and the Mako will be considered legally caught.
Hey Dave, he's here! You can quit yer thrashin' and get back int he boat now!
Hey guys and ladies, NOS but a sick kid could use our help. Just click my username then click "My Donated Hunt" then read the short caption, click thumbs up and leave a short attaboy. He also shot a nice pig. It's a small thing to do to lift the spirits of a very sick young man. A few more thumbs up should get him on page one. Thanks in advance.

Boy, I don't know about this. I think this is how they got grandpa jaws years ago.
"Someone get me the Boga Grip and a bottle of whiskey!"
"Now what?"
What would you do for a Klondike bar?
Yep, it smells like chicken!
Hmm... not striking the hopper dropper rig, lets try a blue wing olive...
Hmmm, you call that fishing? you don't need to "Chum" throw the dog in the water, he looks like that fly you got there, look there's one already!

Speak softly and carry a big stick!
Proving that fly fisherman are sophisticated purists. Dave only had to make one cast with his famous gut pile fly before having to club his trophy Mako with his empty Perrier bottle.
When Tim saw the shark wreck his #18 BWO in 1 swipe, he realized how much bigger of a dry fly he'd need.
Let's just say Jim wet more than his hands before handling this one.
After thinking of it through dave thought it was NOT a good idea to go swimming with the dolphins
Looks like we'll have to "mako" day of it!
oh s**t
"You want me to eat WHAT !!!
You don't see one of these brook trout fishing every day.
"Bring her in the boat Captain, I am a grip and grin kind of guy."
Number 2 in the top ten things you can do with a string and a stick....
You know, I have been out for seven straight days, fishing the most perfect Mako locations and nothing. Once we arrived into the harbor and began to clean our gear, bang six hundred pounder.
The US Navy and MAERSK Corp finish test on the latest weapon designed exclusively to protect ships from Somalian Pirates. The lead deffense contractor on this project, who would only identify himself as "D Evil" was quoted as saying, "Later improvements will include laser beams on their fricking heads".
"Get a barrel on 'im!"
"Hey Captin, I think I found our problem! Look what got caught up in the drift sock!"
Due to global warming, I introduce to you the new invasive species predicted to pose a threat to not only the South Platte River, but also Cheeseman Canyon anglers.
Good Ah' Bruce.
Say it in an Australian Accent
song: da dunt da dunt da dunt da dunt.
Bill: Holy ****** ITS JAWS.
Bob: Don't worry Its only Bruce.
Once again, proof that you can catch anything with a Whooly Bugger!!!
In a recent news release to increase market share "Depends" is now making undergarment for fisherman.
Umm, can we make him swim a little bit further away from the boat.
...hey babe...how much did you say our life insurance policies were worth?
Nice try Captain..no adipose fin..it's a hatchery Mako!
In recent news Field and Stream says they would like to change fly-fishing for Mako sharks to Catching Rosie O' Donnell on a floating egg roll to get kids more invovled in the new sport
Honestly, is there anything a clouser won't catch?
Go ahead, punk. Mako, my day.
Just out of frame is Chuck Norris snorkeling. Why this one practically jumped in the boat.
That's funny, I could've sworn these boga grips were a lot bigger a second ago.
Talk about your happy accidents - Jim just happened to go with brown shorts that day. What are the odds?
They're not the easiest cast in the world but once in the water Captain Dave's "golden deciever" looks just like a wet cocker spaniel.
This contest would be a lot cooler if I could makoff with that cooler already!
wow thats the most amazing thing i ever caught, now i just need to find out what the hell to do with a dead shark
wow thats the most amazing thing i ever caught, now i just need to find out what the hell to do with a dead shark
Bill finally found a solution to all those darn Somalian pirates messing with his ship and cargo...
I knew i should of tied on one of those barbless hook's .
You call this lunch? I've had better on the Titanic!
"Get the net"
Why they should make 12 gauge fly rods.
All waterdogs like treats
these flies just keep on getting stronger and putting up more of a fight these days, and i thought the economy was weakening everyone these days.
Yes, I am fishing the new Sharkskin line from SA as a matter of fact. Why do you ask?
Does it look like he hit the dun or the emerger dropper?
For the last time Kirk, "No, I wasn't using a strike indicator OR a bobber!"
It is important to match the hatch in such occasions as this. I prefer to use only organic milk crates, recycled marker buoys and hemp rope for my chosen fly, the double leche chum bucket.
Capt. Dave: Now, don't line him… she will spook real easy.
Knock on the door: Hello? Candy Gram.
"Dave. Dave! Shark isn't leaving, Dave. Says it wants that $50 in back-alimony you owe. Jeez, Dave. You made it with a mako? Gross."
yrs-
Evan!
There was a "slight" change in the Pennsylvania Trout Stocking Program.
"Well, John did have a nice sailfish on the line. What the hell happened?"
"What the hell, it's not even shark week!"
Although the new Clouser Mako took 4 months to tie, 8,012 spools of gray floss and is incredibly difficult to cast (especially into the wind) Bob Clouser is making sure that this new fly get's patented.
And he thought to himself, I knew I should have brought my ex-wife on this fishing trip.
Fly rod combo - $400.00
Fishing Charter with Capt. Trimble $450.00(1/2 day)
Watching your buddy crap himself $ PRICELESS
So this is what it feels like to be the dog that caught the car.
