and this is how he GOT IT DONE!!    THE CHAMPION hard at work!....CLASSIC!

Yep.... that's me.  That's just one many pics of me snoozing otw. :smt003

The gentle rocking motion of the ocean puts me to sleep like a baby in a crib. :sleepy1:

It not's very visible in Adam's photo, but I assure you that when I'm snoozing, I usually have a rod in my hand just waiting for the subtle bite.

Way to go Chuck!  Congratulations Freddie and Shimmy for 2nd and 3rd place.  You guys hit it hard this year and put your time in.

So that Chuck can bask in his glory a bit more, I've added a 2007 archive of results to the current AOTY website  (two new tabs). 

Now everyone can go back and see the final results of the 2007 AOTY.

Congrats ChuckE!   :smt003

For as much time as you put into the sport and deep frying, you really deserve this one.  This just means you have 2 titles to defend next year!    :smt005


Freddie, nice move to cinch up 2nd in the end and break your butt curse :smt001.  The time you put in paid off - proud of you bro!   :smt004

Shims, absolutely dominating SW jigging performance with the biggest rockfish, cabezon, AND lingcod!!!  Best wishes with the new store and hope you still get some good time on the water.  :smt002
