Hi All,

As a clarification to our 2017 JR AOTY Competition, we're publishing the following rule(s) for JR AOTY.

•   Junior AOTY ("JAOTY") is limited to members under the age of 18 on January 1, 2017. Entrance is free. Prizes are TBD but will be awarded to at least the top three.  Fish entered for JAOTY are not subject to the AOTY rules except for the "Retention Rule".  This is to encourage participation by Junior anglers in fishing of all types, whether it be via shore, kayak or boat.

So the only rule that applies for JAOTY is the rule that the fish must be legal to be kept. We do not wish to encourage picture taking of fish that are not legal for retention as it could result in excessive handling.  Other items for JAOTY:

1. There is no specific rule that the Jr has to catch the fish from the kayak.  Obviously the preference is that they go on the kayaks with you, but take a kid fishing in any way you can!
2. The Waterway Rule does not apply, except that fish should be caught within our borders. 
3. Mouth open, posing, measurement, etc rules are not strictly enforced.  We would like you to please try to take high quality pictures of the fish so do your best but we're not strict on this for JAOTY.
4. Please take a kid fishing!

Live your life, the way you want to be remembered. Don't have any regrets, we only get this one dance to make it count. Start at your eulogy, and work backwards.

Very cool, and thanks for keeping this going!  My boys had fun seeing their fish posted up last year, and are in it to win it this year!   :smt003
If you need a hand coordinating any JAOTY efforts I'd be more than happy to help out.

Please feel free to send a message to vwool or novofish, they're in charge of the JAOTY competition.  Us AOTY Committee members just do the fish approval type things.

Remember Junior AOTY is free, if you haven't signed your child up, do it. They do not have to fish from a kayak. They can fish from a boat, kayak, or land.

Doesn't have to be your kid either.  Just don't pick some random kid off the street though.

We have a couple competitors who are submitting fish for friend's and neighbor's kids - take a kid fishing!  I'm gonna try to get my little one out soon for her first fish of 2017.
