Snapshot: Who ‘Dat? Write the caption

This is one of my favorite images, not just because it’s slightly incriminating, but mostly because it reminds me of a hard-core winter day when I floated Washington’s Cowlitz River with two great friends, Andrew Bennett, left, and Dave McCoy, right, who runs Emerald Water Anglers in West Seattle.

We didn’t catch a steelhead that day, and I completely blew cast after Spey cast, but I started to learn the whole two-handed deal. I threatened to switch to a single-hand rod and fish beads, but McCoy, who swears by the swing, said he’d kill me. I believed him.

I remember a wicked-sick ride home in McCoy’s Suburban, over absolutely black ice covered roads, with cars and trucks spun out in the ditches, but we made it safely back to Seattle and celebrated continuation of  life with micros at Sulley’s Snow Goose on Phinney Ridge. That cemented a great day.

Now I can’t say exactly what was on screen here in the picture, but it’s either a shot of someone’s nanny or it’s a picture of a giant steelhead. Take your guess. Let me know what you think. Write a caption for this shot in the comments section. Let’s have a good laugh. Again, one of my favorite shots.
