big thanks to the team of volunteers for doing the legwork on the AOTY. I just had the inspector go over the loot and she approves

I got my package this week as well... Just like Christmas in March! Thanks for getting all that stuff boxed up and shipped out, Drifter. I know that was no small task.

I'm particularly stoked about the Pitbull bora jigs. Itching to get out an the ocean to try them out.

Be sure to check out Pitbull tackle's website. Each lure has detailed instructions on how to fish which I find very cool.

Jed, If I had your talent for finding sponsors and you write up talent it would be even better.

I'm pretty sure they just take pity on me. You are doing great gathering gear.

Got my goodies delivered up in Canada. That's after entering a whopping 0 fish last year. Thanks to everyone who puts this on!

The most important thing is to get signed up.  That’s how the money gets to HOW.  Catching fish is a bonus and a fun way to compete against others or against yourself.  More fish does equal more goodies though.
Being retired, they pay me when I go fishing, therefore I am kind of a professional fisherman.

Well said James!
My entire goal of getting more sponsors is to get more people to enter and send more $$ to HOW.

My only goal as far as AOTY is to enter 10 species each year. I failed last year, but have no intentions of failing on that again!

So.....Please go sign up for AOTY!

My favorite part of AOTY over the years has been competing against myself. The camaraderie of competing with everyone else and comparing catches is really fun, too, but it's so rewarding to improve on my personal best fish and try to strike out into new species. Getting 10 eligible fish is a great goal.

My only real AOTY goal this year is to do better than I did last year, points-wise. I'd really enjoy hanging a new species on the board, too, but we'll see.
