Well done sir!

Congratulations to Cameron for giving him a good run for the money! Only 20 points between 1st and 2nd place! Good job Cameron!

Cameron submitted the largest Lingcod, Rockfish, Steelhead, Small mouth bass, Large mouth bass, Greenling, Kokanee, and Striper for 2025.
Well done both of you!!

There will be some good prizes coming your way soon!

Awesome job Keith.  I have really enjoyed the times I have got to fish with you.  I appreciate that you are good about trying to help others catch fish also.

You have put in a lot of time and effort over the last few years.  Glad to see it paid off with an AOTY win.  As a bonus, being over 2000 points is a great accomplishment.  Here’s to more good fish in 2026

James,
I now know how you felt two years ago with me chasing you.  Cameron was tough.   We exchanged big fish back and forth for like 3 months there at the end. I think we both had a bunch of PR fish in our counts.  I know he shot up the GOAT board a few places.

This competition has definitely expanded my fishing style range.  Started as a lake/pond bass panfish guy and now catch all sorts of stuff.  Have added to the things I can do each year trying to get bigger fish.  Probably need to plan/announce/invite people to join in on trips if they want to try for something new to them.  I know it can be difficult to just go to a new place to fish for something unfamiliar, and while Im not an expert, I've managed to get some and its always easier to try with a partner

Yeah, a couple times there I thought I had it in the bag. Keith fishes his butt off tho, definitely deserves it. Hitting 2k would have been cool, but I'm happy that my score has gone up every year. This year I mostly want to get a few new species, halibut, flathead, maybe sockeye. Hoping to finally make it to LBC n try for a big bull. Also want to try to figure out Willamette walleye.
Tight lines to everyone in 2026!

Congratulations Keith and Cameron.  That was a close one. 

Congrats Keith and the rest of the top finishers. Breaking that 2000 mark is pretty hard so congrats on that as well. Hope everyone had a great year and here's to an even better one in 26. Hope to see you all out on the water.
