Congrats to all you guys. It was a really great year. You guys really nailed it. Here's to more of the same in 2011.

O2B... I still have your cooler. If I make it up this weekend for some pigging, I'll drop it off.

Happy New Year!!!!

First i would like to say congrats to O2B for the 1st place finish, you and patrick are truly some GREAT DIEHARD fisherman and your finish was well deserved. Craig, john, jim you guys are too amazing fisherman and im very happy for you guys as well and to all the rest of the top ten finishers for a banner year of competition! It was truly a blast for me to fish and compete against all you guys, AOTY IS THE SHIT! Ill be honest to say earlier in the year i was in over my head and thought i would have this made, but oh nooo! The wiser and more experience sure put me in my place! And thats ok because im very proud of myself for my own achievements this year as this was my best year ever, hands down! But im more proud of and grateful for coming into such a great communtity of fisherman who all share the same great passion! Im truly blessed and honored to be in NCKA and in this brotherhood. I am happy to met all who I did in ncka, as it was a pleasure to fish with you all, but futhermore make a ever lasting friendship with you guys! 2010 was truly a blast and one to remember forever! Happy New Years everybody and godbless, ricci c.

Congrats to all the participants! You guys inspired me to join AOTY- just paid my entry fee- not to win it so much but to be a part of the what you guys have made this experience called AOTY.

There are those guys that you meet in your life that just "have it". I can't explain it, but they just do. These Dudes have it! I know that most of what i post here is somewhat sarcastic and smart-ass, but all joking aside, I hope that I can become half the fisherman that the group of you are. Except for all the getting up ridiculously early and driving all over hell and back and freezing your ass off stuff. Congrats!!!

Well done Gents! Allen seriously enough already. You have too many boats! Although with all the fishing you do you may actually wear out a boat in 12 months. My new year resolution is a top 10!

Congrats guys. I too, have greatly enjoyed watching the competition unfold. I do have one question. Does competing at that level have any adverse effects on your normal day to day life ?
