Going out on a limb here but I think Im safe on this one. Congrats buddy on your big year! We fished our collective asses off and you did it. We had so many fun times this year. It was truly the year of the Bird. I will carry your rods for a whole year now but I will never wash your peddle boat. :smt044 :smt003

Heres some highs from 2011 that I was there to witness. Ocean Kayak takes it this year.

Big congrats on a well deserved win John!
I was going to carry your rods for the year.....but since you've already got an official rod carrier I'll just have to buy you some beers instead.  :smt001  Hope to fish with you soon. Jim

Congrats John, job ( :smt044) well done, now take a day off and then get back to it.  :smt002
Remember to practice safe knots, because big fish don't just break your line, they also break your heart.
