That's a great article, reminds one what it takes to compete in AOTY.

Bird=true sportsman Class act and ambassador for our crazy life style in Kayaks. Glad to have met him and so many others this year since hooking up with NCKA Hoping to see a lot of you and water this year... Fish on!!!!

Cool Article

Very cool article    I saw Johns plan coming a long ways away    Interesting what you figure out just by watching the AOTY board 

AOTY is a sick contest, way up there in cred. Winning one is an incredible feat. I appreciate what the NCKA hardcore do - I've covered AOTY since the very first edition. Here's to an epic 2012!

Great article!  Thanks for the link Craig.

Thanks for the article. You should come up north for one of our tourneys. BTW saw the Panama episode with you and Jim and loved it. YFT on surface poppers is too cool . Two points off for no PFD.

^Thanks! I've come up for past events (including Elk - fun times), but I'm overdo for a return. This year!

About those PFDs. They were supposed to show up with the boats, via freighter no doubt. We get there, no PFDs. Thank goodness. It was freaking hot and humid. Whatever - Panama was amazing.

Paul -

I can bring a T15, paddle, rods, reels, tackle and PFD  for you to use if you want to roll like a rock star.

We would like to see your face at Albion Paul. Ditto on the gear. I have a 4.7 or even the mighty scupperpro for you. Craig

Wow!  John, Jim, Craig........you guys are awesome!

 I could never do that.

Great article.  Thanks for posting the link.

Great article Paul....congratulations again John!

Thanks guys, you're too cool. Fortunately, NorCal events are within a decent day's drive. There's no substitute to using your own yak and tackle - they're like perfectly worn in boots. 

The Albion dates are in my calendar - Aug 10-12. Not only are you guys fishing rock stars, you out-cook and Q just about anyone.

I know Albion is the big shindig, the spiritual successor to Elk. What else is on the schedule this year?
