Hey all, just wanted to share my award I received last night for winning DOTY in 2019 as I am super stoked on it! It turned out wonderful, I'm going to hang it up today. Huge thank you to Sean "PISCEAN" for creating such beautiful artwork for the tournament and Pat Kuhl (and his wife) for coordinating getting it to me. It truly feels great to be a part of this community, even though I don't post much on here. I'd also like to thank everyone that was involved with getting other prizes together as well as organizing the tournament. Matt Titchenal and Amadeo come to mind but I know there are more. And of course I competed in 2020 and I've signed up for 2021 and can't wait to start diving again as soon as the ocean calms down. Here are some photos and a couple video links of the last two years of diving. Cheers!

Hell yeah! Nice videos dude. And I think those Piscean plaques are the best design.

AWESOME PICS!
I'm so happy you like the award. I went a little gruesome on the back of it, but if you ever get skunked on halibut just take a pic holding the award backwards and no one will ever know! They are 100% legal size fish too!
