Vote now for July Slab of the Month

July was a an unprecedented month for slabbage.  10 of 16 entrants made it to the voting round.  Truly great fish didn't make the cut for one reason or another. 

Again, use our poll on the left side bar to cast your vote.  For background and higher quality pics visit the Moldy Chum photo section here.  May the best slab win.

June Slab of the Month Results

Thanks for the 706 votes Chum Nation - nice community contribution for sure!  June was a tough one.   As such, we're making an executive decision to announce Co-Winners.

Sammy Hignell-Stark (the people's choice) and Alex Lovett-Woodsum (the choice where pure slabbage simply cannot be ignored) should be proud.  Many a entry was worthy and these ladies kicked a very solid amount of buttocks.

Stay tuned for July voting. We've got another slab infested situation brewing.

New Chum Photo Section

Now you too can enjoy quality fish porn in the privacy of your own home - see the new link on main navigation of Chum site.

After all is said and done, the exercise of creating this archive of Slab of the Month/Year photos lead us to a conclusion that had escaped us until now - this is one mutherphucker of a hero shot collection.

California Dreamin

 A recent dispatch from Patagonia Fly Fishing Ambassador Mikey Weir.

Just got back from a little mission into a remote canyon here in Nor Cal. I was mostly there to film some climbing but i managed some fishing time too. The river was HUGE but i managed to pull some really nice trout. These two were the highlights. I'm guessing that female was over 12 lbs and the male was over 15. He gave me a nasty bite. I could barley hold him out of the water. I think he's one of the biggest i've ever caught. After that i just put my rod down. That was the trout i've been looking for for years.

Think it's worth a SOM entry?

In this case, it's Greg "Boz" Bostater's first SOTM boner.  Boz, there's no where to go but down now.  Sweet baby Jesus!

Update: Bostater impresses the judges and takes pole position in the 2009 Slab of the Year candidacy.
