Friar Tuck goes fishing (2010 Smoker of the Year Contest entry)

by JD on June 8, 2010

Tho shalst dine on the most tasty of vittles this fortnight!

I‘m not totally sure if Filson Hubert looks more like the most famous of Robin Hood’s Merry Men or Randy Quaid’s character, Ishmael, in the epic bowling movie Kingpin, but one thing’s for sure…this charred Chinook salmon from the infamous Nimbus Basin on the American River in Nor Cal has to be the early favorite for the 2010 Smoker of the year crown.

It does get a few minus points for being an old photo but I also have to applaud Hubert’s buddy for digging it outta the vault without his permission and totally throwing Filson under the bus! Bonus points, however, for the sweet green neoprenes!

Oh yea, one other thing’s for sure with this one: I know it was the 80’s and all, but I can’t believe anybody actually let this cat outta the house sporting that ‘do! If you’ve got something that can compete with this black beauty, enter it HERE.

The beauty of that ‘do is that you can’t see the boot that you’re holdin’…
