Congradulations John.Another great fisherman of NCKA.

Are you going to watch the AOTY board until 12:01 tomorrow morning??????
I can't wait to see what you do with your new ride; assuming there aren't any late surprises.
Ahh, and I remember when he was just a baby....from 5-13-09 Hell Hole

BIRD MAAAANNNN COME TOGETHER WITH YOUR YAK. SAAAAVE MEEEEEE!!!! IM TOGETHER WITH YOUR PLAN!!! LOL

Seriously Bird you hit it super extra hard this year. Truely a die hard fisherman, and an inspiration

 I remember when you and O2B were fishing the cove at albion for perch. Looked like two kids that got into a bunch of crappie! I learned to not worry about catching The biggest, but more to have fun just catching catching.

Congrats 2011's AOTY

Big congratulations on your awesome year of fishing.
You deserve this with your impressive lineup of fish.


I feel like a fool for not making it to the top 5, but for starting in May it was a good run.

Congratulations John.    That's quite an achievement !

WE killed it again today. Johns huge smallie and I got a 19.5 spot

Way to go John! 

Can I borrow your GPS?

It's official. I just heard the fat lady sing.
Congrats again John.

Congrats John, Jim and Craig!!! You guys are world class anglers and world class guys.  It was a privilege to fish with you last year. John, I will always remember our WSB revenge at HMB last year.  What a memory. 

John, awesone hellavu job ya did in taking this year's AOTY! You truly deserved it with a very impressive list of catch!

Also big congrats to both Jim and Craig as well for another strong performance! Scott said it best, all three of you are world class anglers and people I'm very glad to call you my friends! I'll be hooking up more with y'all this year!

Does anyone else have the song Surfin' Bird playing in their head???   Wow, John you definetly kicked some serious SERIOUS ass this year     And I liked your style too    Creeping up on everyone on the board and then shooting past them all to be on top!  WTFGS!!!!    Glad we got to fish together this year John, and hope we do more again this year!   

Congrats from the NW Bird! That is one hellova card and a solid SMB to close out 2011.
