Caption Monkey 10: Giant Fish


Photo: Fishing Adventures Thailand - via A Welsh View

This week's Caption Monkey game at Neatorama comes by way of Thailand: the largest predator fish ever caught on rod and line, a 407 lb (185 kg) Arapaima.

Funniest caption wins a Free Monkey (or any other animal) Drawing by Ape Lad of Hobotopia. Contest rules are simple: place your caption in the comment, one caption per comment but you can submit as many as you'd like. You can also vote for your favorite comment, but not your own. And lastly, please keep it civil.

The funniest caption will win a free drawing - if you don't win, but still want one (it's very cool), you can get it directly from Ape Lad for a nominal fee here.

And oh, be sure to check out Fishing Adventure Thailand, by a truly masterful angler named Jean-Francois Helias for more photos of unbelievably large fish!

Update 10/5/07: Congratulations to Chris #6 who wrote the winning caption:

Why do I always have to hold the ass end?


"...the largest predator fish ever caught on rod and line."

Tuna, sturgeon, swordfish, sailfish, and who knows what else have been caught with rod and line that weigh more than this. If you throw in sharks (not technically "fish"), the weight moves up to over 1,500 pounds.

Just saying. Cool looking fish there.

Guy 1: "Alive without breath,
As cold as death,
Never thirsty, Ever drinking,
Clad in mail, Never clinking,
Drowns on dry land,
Thinks an island, Is a mountain,
Thinks a fountain, Is a puff of air.
What am I?"

Guy 2: "My precioussss!" :chomp:

Deb: What are you holding?
Napoleon Dynamite: A figer.
Deb: What's a figer?
Napoleon Dynamite: It's pretty much my favorite animal. It's like a fish and a tiger mixed... bred for its skills in magic.

Ling Tin Ching *pictured to the right of this picture* has just been arrested after allegations of him fingering a fish. After interviewing the victim of this crime we can report that he usually doesn't mind this sort of activity but at the time he really needed a poo.
