lol, Thats a tad on the dark side I probably would have sent it back into the drink. You know its bad when the seaguls wont even eat the eyes.  What about a "fishgusting section 2009" ?

One for the smoker on the Stave from what I hear...

**** ALERT ****  New species of salmon caught on the Vedder.  Hooked this monster up on the vedder last weekend while doing some scouting with a buddy. 
It didn't fight really well, it kinda just dogged it, but woooweee it sure was a heavy beast.  I figured the meat would be a little tough so I gently let it go. 
I dunno what do you think should I of BONKED it??!!

Lol, it comes with its own bonker

Not sure if I would consider it foul hooked or more that is where the hook wound up after the strike....Find that it happens alot with intruder/trailor hook flies.

Here is another

I get lots of bulls hooked like this when I use stinger hooks....they take the fly from the rear 3/4 and the hook ends up on the outside.  You can be assured those fish are not flossed....I've seen them charge through a foot of water to nail a fly and still get hooked like that.

HAHAHA I've got about 3 pics that we could put up of you lol 
Remember the coho

yea i know im just joking round , probobly went for it but missed the hook n got it in the outerlip.  If you caught a fish like that and wanted to keep it would you be aloud or would they call it a foul hook???

The fish definitely struck the fly, but they miss the actual hook.  It would be against the law to keep fish hooked like that, but you can't keep bulls from coastal rivers anyways.

LOL I would laugh so hard seeing one of those donkeys with a 15 foot leader where I got this guy. Standing on the beach like a fence post not moving, it would be long cold days with no fish ........

 HAHA Usually I will change it up but three days in a row they were smashing it so if it works I can't complain......That fly in your avatar looks like it would destroy bulls.

That's a unweighted McLeod stickleback- barely fish it, but hit something big on Alta last spring.  Something = decent cutty.  Might give it a shot sometime in a slow shallow run... I know just which one too.

Best pattern for bulls for me has been a cone-head beige string leach, but its murder to cast on a single hander.  I've been toying with switching the rabbit strip out for marabou and using intruder-style hackle to build bulk.  This year, I'm gonna try moving away from more exact imitations, and towards more impressionistic or reaction-triggering flies.  We'll see how that goes.

One more of that toothy critter

Salmon shark not a GW. Lots up winter harbour offshore and into alsk. It would be fun to catch we tried for a few last year.

NEWS FLASH
Thought I would let everyone know that I have found a sponsor for this thread. I will select what I believe are the 10 best pictures from this year (from this thread) and create a poll in which members can vote for their favorite. The one with the most votes will win a $100 Gift Certificate to Sea-Run Fly and Tackle. So hurry and get those pictures from this year in. I will likely be sorting through the thread and finding the good ones over the next week, but will make changes to my top 10 if anything after Christmas is posted.
