Guido’s Steeie (Smoker of the Year Contest entry)
April 9, 2007
/>When “Guido” (he’s in the witness protection program, so we can’t use his real name) sent in this photo of himself with a steelhead for consideration in our Smoker of the Year contest, we were a bit confused. The steelhead — the blood aside — is in nice shape. In fact. it’s way too bright for our little contest.
Then, however, we realized that maybe it wasn’t the fish that Guido was entering at all… maybe he was himself!
At least that’s what we’re going with here. Brilliant, Guido, absolutely brilliant — especially when you consider the wet jeans; that the mustache is real (Photoshop was not used) and so is that sweet ‘do that looks like it could morph into a mullet without too much trouble.
The photo also scores high marks for that “drug deal in the making” type of background. In fact, this may be the perfect picture! You guys are going to have to step it up if you want to win this contest!

I was just curious what piece of water “slick” here bonked this worn dorsal, adipose sport’in metal head out of.
Hey Rudy…good to hear from ya!
Guido said he can’t reveal that info because…as he puts it: “It’s not a good idea to give anybody any hints as to my whereabouts…”
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Instant classic.
