Gear Grab Bag Caption Contest Winner Announced

This past caption contest had quite a few entries and some surpassingly good ones at that. The job of choosing the winner was pretty tough, but I had to award it to sgtsly for the handful of great entries that made me laugh. The one that got me though was, "I got a little ahead of myself with that flopper, hopper, copper, dropper, mopper, stopper, rig." CastMaster25 almost had me with the Johnny Cash reference. God knows I love me some Cash...

Sgtsly 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. Hit me with your address at [email protected] and I'll get this stuff in the mail.
