Well kiddies, it’s that time of year again…time to kick off the 2009 Smoker of the Year Contest!!
Congrats to Salmonzilla for taking the title in 2008 and we look forward to your entries in what promises to be our biggest and best Smoker of the Year Contest yet.
Though all the details have yet to be hashed out, we are in negotiations with several companies that are interested in providing sponsorship for the ’09 campaign and it looks like we’ll have some sweet prizes this year. So, be sure to send us pics of the darkest, uglies fish you catch this season!
In the meantime, here’s the first 2009 Smoker of the Year entry…

In runaway fashion, Salmonzilla has been voted by you the people as the 2008 Smoker of the Year Champion! It wasn’t even close…Salmonzilla received 70.4 percent of the vote, easily kicking his two rivals (who each earned 14.8 percent of the vote) to the curb.
Thanks to Department of Fish & Game biologist Doug Killam for actually picking this big guy up for a photo and also to biologist Matt Johnson, who originally broke the story to us.
We’ll be announcing the details of our 2009 Smoker of the Year Contest in the upcoming weeks, so keep taking pictures of those dark nasty fish you’re catching out there. You know the ones…
Until then, let’s give a big round of applause to our 2008 Smoker of the Year Champ!
Okay, the votes have been cast and here are your 2008 Smoker of the Year finalists! Vote for your favorite below…

Okay kiddies, it’s that time of year again…Time to Vote for your favorite Smoker of the Year! I’m not sure if it was the salmon closures on the West Coast this year or what, but it’s been a pretty lackluster Smoker season (former champ, Harrison Ibach didn’t even get in the game!). I’ll expect you guys to do better in 2009…and we may just have some legit prizes next season, too!
The Polls are Open!
So, here’s a list of this year’s entries…scross down through them all and click the “Leave a comment” button to vote. And now, here are your 2008 Smoker of the Year Contest entries…

Well kiddies, the 2008 Smoker of the Year Contest has just over a month left and James B. Hinton may just be in the driver’s seat with this photo of his pal Wes, pictured here with a long-lost relative, may have just propelled himself into first place with this darkie from the Sacramento River.
