An observation about AOTY

I am going nuts right now because I want to fish for sturgeon too. But I need to
catch some salmon or upgrade on some fish that I already have to be on the top
10.  I will still sign up for next year though just because of the little
friendly competition.

see jed, if you had followed my advice back in early oct you coulda had the tiny salmon by now!  Instead naoaki stole it

For me to catch all ten was definitely a challenge.  Considering that I was out of the state a total of 2 months this year, I'm completely surprised I made it. Took mostly dedication and a lot of luck.

2 days for bass, 2 days for trout, 4 days for sturgeon, 3 days for hali, 4 days for rockies/ling and cab, 1 day for smallies, 3 for salmon and 2 days for stripers.  21 total fishing days targeting those fish. Still much less than some, but more than others. I am very glad my wife gave me the go ahead this year to get those fish.  I might have one more fishing day left in me but probably not. This year put me to the test considering it was really my first year in the yak. Not a bad first year for sure.

Next year I will probably cut back and stay closer to home.

ya....I'll give you a well deserved slap on the ass (NBA style)  

Thanks moochy! I went after all ten for myself, not for the competition. I don't care if I finish in 20th place or 1st, as long as I beat jedmo! (Just kidding)

I am not a competitive person by nature, I would much rather fish cooperatively than competitively.

I honestly think Ben has it for me big time. He has been picking on me all year long since I've joined the NCKA. Sorry bro I am out of your league.

I witnessed Jedmo whoopin' ass at Shelter Cove and topping it with pure humility.  He's one of my "Anglers of the Year"...
