Cool, thanks, now if I could only figure out how to catch some fish.

Right?  I haven't fished proper freshwater in a while - gotta figure out trout and bass again, haha.

The rules for Junior division say:

"Junior DOTY is limited to members under the age of 18 on January 1, 2020. Entrance is free. Prizes are TBD but will be awarded to at least the top three."

I assume this needs an update?

Question - I have a DIY bump board made from some upcycled lumber, for smaller fish like panfish and surfperch.  Pic attached, with tape measure to display accuracy.  Any issue with using this for AOTY submissions?

When I first made it I cut two notches, at 18" and 20" with my miter saw. Overall length is about 22 1/8", for quick legal check on halibuts.

Thank you for noticing that. Yes it should say 2023

When you enter your first fish on that board submit pictures of the board with tape measure for verification.

Will do.  I have a regular folding one on order, should arrive next week, but hoping to get some time on the water and some submissions in the next few days. 

Okay you can put both of my boys in the Junior division

RedStorm (last year as a Junior for him)
BlueLorcan

Hoping to get them on the water more this year.  AOTY will help with that!

They are both set for youth division.

Thinking about jumping in again. Hook me up please. Thinking I will shoot to break my PB points total of 1825. See where that lands me in the pyramid.

With no salmon this year, I am not going to bother cause I sure as fuck don’t want catch a bunch of boring ass freshwater dinks that are all hours driving .

I wish you’d stop beating around the bush and tell us what you really think of freshwater fishing…
