The Master shows you how!!
With fall salmon runs in full swing in the West and out in the Great Lakes, you guys have no excuse for not sending in some fresh new Smoker of the Year pictures! If you’re unfamiliar with the contest, the basic gist is this: When you catch a fish that’s…well, let’s just say…a little past its prime, be sure to snap a quick photo or two (if you don’t mind touching it!) and email them to us.
At the end of the year, we’ll let the general public vote for their favorite and the winner gets a prize. For more details, click HERE and for inspiration, take a look at previous entries.
Now, to help ya take a prize-winning shot this year, we’ve enlisted the help of Harrison Ibach (pictured above), the world’s greatest Smoker Hunter and the sole member of the Smoker Hall of Fame. Ibach’s work in this field was light years ahead of the competition and it looked for a time that he’d never be beaten, but he inexplicably retired right at the apex of his career and has not been seen in person since. It took some doing, but we finally coaxed the hermit to speak with us through an interpreter (he hasn’t spoken English in over 3 years!) via ham radio from a remote island in the Azores archipelago where he is currently plotting a comeback. He wouldn’t give any verbal clues to his success but instead sent us this diagram via passenger pigeon. It’s pretty self explanatory and you’d do well to heed his advice. Also, pray he doesn’t get back into the game because it’s over if he does!

LOL!!! The only thing missing is the 40ft leader & bead. “No seriously, he ate the pastic bead! See the hook is in his tongue!”
