Hey Captain Redbeard could you post the GOAT board again... I have a feeling Jed jumped up a couple spots.

We do have a new GOAT leader also.  Nice job Jed.

I am trying to submit a catch and it is giving me an error that today's date is invalid. Anyone know what's up with that?

goat board is all jacked up.  but I do think Jed is now number 1

Howdy, everyone. I see people are noticing the GOAT board issues. bsteves is going to look at it as he has time. IIRC from looking at it last year, the ranking is correct but the fish are wrong. Note that if you refresh the page the fish will change.

If your dev didn't save the application's db credentials in environmental variables I would be the leader right now. You guys have a massive security hole right now over https -> https://aoty.northwestkayakanglers.com/

It's really kind and mature of you to point that out publicly instead of letting us know so we could rectify the problem.

This system has been built and maintained by volunteer labor and has honestly outlived its original purpose. We can either all work together to keep it going as best we can, or we can not have AOTY. Those are the options.

You're welcome.

Thanks for the heads up.  I'd appreciate a PM next time you find something like that.   Posting it publicly is a pretty dick move on your part, but I guess you did get my attention.

Anytime. .

Seems like a appropriate time to bring back the asshat?

AOTY 2021
My goal is to come up with more and better prizes than last year. Please sign up early and let's get this party started! I guess it is already started, but barely. Only 5 fish on the board.
I have confirmed with Nomad's Fishing Adventures, that he will again be donating a seat on one of his guided fishing trips!

I was able to meet up with Drifter this weekend for a few minutes and get my prize box - man there's a lot of stuff in there! THANK YOU for the awesome prizes in 2020, in spite of everything that was going on.

Mrs. Redbeard already stole the hoodie and t-shirt
