I couldn't think of an angler who deserves it more than Chris! Congrats dude, your skilled determination and generosity is such a rare combo. But to actually win AOTY is a testament to your dedication. Thanks for taking us along for the ride by documenting your adventures, taking amazing photos, and sharing your knowledge. Cheers!!

Congrats Clayman!

It's been a pleasure to watch and learn from you over the years.
You have really dialed-in your angling skills - and have been generous to share spots and techniques.

Also, it was great to fish AOTY 2015 with all the fine fishers in NCKA!

Congratulations Chris! You had a phenomenal year of fishing, and posted  some of the greatest reports on these pages.

It was fun to watch you and Naoaki go head to head this year. Both of you guys are maniacs!

 The AOTY committee will make the official top ten announcement soon.
