Congrads to the Place&Show spots..... well deserved and very close.
you guys had the presure applied from the start to finish!!

and PADDLES UP!!   to all who entered and played hard, kept it fun and never gave up!! 
shame on you, if YOU didn't have fun  

And lets not forget what an epic year Adam had! Your banging out one of the greatest rockfish weekends in history to your monster exotics, you were truly inspiring. Dude you ruled it this year, and you did it with class!

Dad and I were talking last night about the past year and all the great adventures we had with you.  Thirteen of the twenty fish we posted for AOTY are still swimming.  We can attribute alot of these releases to you, not by force or guilt, but by example. 

Thanks for a great year of adventures Mr. FisHunter, where to next?
