Your winning sharkfish captions

A little while ago we spotted this fish and pinned him to our Weird and Wonderful board. It seemed a pity not to let him swim to wider waters but when it came to Facebook, nothing was leaping out as the perfect post-caption… So, we asked you.

Over 500 comments flooded in and, from Jaws references (da dum) and clever puns to more serious pearls of wisdom, motivational directives and a host of cheeky fin / kitty metaphors, it was a treat to read them all. A big thank you everyone who shared a comment and gave us a smile!

As usual, we battled to pick just one and felt it only right to award seven runners up (who will each get a R100 Yuppiechef voucher for their efforts) as well as our grand prize winner of the R500 Yuppiechef voucher. Drumroll…

Luke Solomon’s winning caption-poem

A scrawny young goldfish named Finn,
was perpetually teased for being thin.
Now his weight still decreases, but he wears a prosthesis
and so nobody dares say a thing!
