Congratulations JoeDubC, '24 AOTY Winner

Congrats Joe!
That is one bad ass belt!

That 123 finish was exciting to see pan out!

Way to go Joe!

Congrats Joe!  I know you've been trying to get his for a few years - nice!

congrats to the top 3, I don't recall seeing it so close before.

John and the AOTY crew - thanks for organizing this every year, though I don't place well, it's a blast and I appreciate the work that goes into it.

It was a very exciting finish to watch the last couple weeks, seeing Joe get into the top spot but with only a couple point lead.  Knowing how the others compete I was eagerly waiting for another fish to be posted.  Congrats to all the top winners, you guys put in the effort all year and make this game a super fun challenge!  Congratulations Joe for making number one!  That belt is super awesome! I hope you wear it around events haha.  Great recap on a banner year of fishing! 

Nice going Joe, Congratulations!

Congrats to all three of you guys! What a tight race for first.

Very well deserved!  However, this prize is shared by two...  I imagine Mabel also is feeling pretty psyched!   

 

It really came down to the wire there. 👀😳
Well done + well-deserved, Joe!! 👏👏

And well done to all who participated. 👏

I’m thankful for this challenge.
I set out to submit 10 species this year and I’m
happy I got there.

Congratulations to the top 3, all right there in points and each with a solid 10 species bag. Made for a fun year to see who would come out on top. Joe well done. That idea to hit the salt in December worked out very well with a big halibut. I just noticed our cats were tied at 34.25." Weird? Thanks for the fish pics all year and we will see what cool fish get posted in 2025! My goal is to get to the salt at least once this year so I can try for 10 species.

Way to go! That's some serious fishing
