Hey Jeff, congrats

Can't seem to beat those POOA fish

I fished 13 out of the last 14 days trying to get a steelhead. Lost the tourny about a week ago when i fought and lost my first Oregon Steelhead!! heartbreaking since i haven't had a nibble since. Did catch my death of cold though....

fished over 150 days this year and still second!!

now i'm pissed....

Congrats to to the new top tenners too, good work!

Roy,  Nice work!  Sounds like you put forth the effort.  Dang 150 days?  I'm not sure that I could put in that many days.   Hope the cold goes away if it hasn't allready. 


Congrats Jeff.   The hard work paid off and dang you went out with a bang!

Roy, congrats to you brother. You've been on the podium as much as any of us. Solid!!

Yeah man, congrats Jeff! That was a sick 'bow (smallie too) and a great 2011 AOTY card!!

Congrats to both Jeff and Roy, you guys had some monster fish this year.  Team Hobie rocked it too, taking the top 3 and 4 out of the top 5. 
I did my best to move up the standings since Jeff landed the trout.  I put  4 days in last week, got skunked on 3 of them and managed a few small sunfish and bass on the other.

Hmmm...I consider THAT a challenge worth undertaking!!!!!
I know I won't be able to put in a 150 days on the water...but I should be able to get a solid 15 quality days!
Wish me luck  I'm gonna need it!!!!!

I think I may have overlooked what this thread was really for
I just spent 1/2 hour looking at the many fish the AOTY participants caught and was VERY impressed to say the least.
Great job all!!!!!
May 2012 bring you even bigger fish!
