Way to get it done Kevin! You deserve it. You worked hard and traveled a lot to get this done. Enjoy the new kayak. I think you will like it.
Way to go everyone that competed. It is a long, hard year to make it to the top ten. Dedication pays off.

Congratulations, Kevin! AOTY 2014 Champ!


I started paying attention to Kevin's fishing skills a few years ago when we were on opposing Kayak Wars teams.  At the time Kevin had a tendency to post tons of 12-14 inch trout.  When he told us that he was going to make a run for AOTY 2014 we teased him about not being able to win with 12 inch trout.

Needless to say, Kevin showed his ability not only to catch lots of fish, but trophy fish as well.  It was a fun year watching Kevin post monster after monster on the contest board.

Way to go!
