The rarely-seen Golden Salmon (2008 Smoker of the Year Contest entry)

Here’s our first Smoker of the Year Contest entry of the 2008 season!

Yuri Beighsnagger and his pal ZeeZeetopski sent in this photo of a rare and seldom-seen species of salmon (aren’t they all these days??) that they caught a while back on the River De Plume, near their homeland of Palermosa

As is customary in their country, whoever catches ones of these cherished beasts immediately starts gnawing a chunk of flesh from the fish’s back, just ahead of the dorsal fin. Meat from that portion of the Golden Salmon is said to give that person good luck with the ladies (though it’s rumored that better personal hygiene is truly the secret and the key to the hearts of the women of Palermosa).

Palermosians also believe that it is extremely rude not to share your good fortune with friends. Judging by his gestures, ZeeZee is not terribly happy with the way Yuri is hording the fish. Apparently what happened next is not suitable for showing here in this forum.
