AOTY 2024

Luau!!  Congratulations on the graduate.

The GOAT board is so inspiring to me - really awesome! Congrats Snopro on taking the top spot for now - well deserved.

Just a reminder to people who happen upon this thread without previous years' context: The GOAT board was a bit of an experiment. The points totals are correct, I believe, but the individual fish it links to are sometimes incorrect.

So glad you’re keeping this going Captain Redbeard ! I personally know how hard it is to keep sponsors donating when there is only so much they can write off! It takes a lot of time to get all the ducks in a row and the T’s crossed as well as the I’s doted. Keep at man!! And congrats to those that can get the multiple species on the board, THAT IS NO SMALL FEET!!!  Can’t wait to see the end result from some great fisher”persons” ……………. Don’t count out the lady’s!!

Thanks man, I appreciate it. BUT, it truly is a team effort. Drifter has been dealing with all of the donations for the last 5 (?) years. Bsteves keeps the site running. Snopro and Nobaddays do most of the judging.

BTW, I got a new AOTY sponsor!
Yak Rods! They sent me some $50 off gift certificates for their custom kayak fishing rods.
Still a little much for my income level, but if anyone is interested just let me know.
Looks to be mostly custom bass fishing rods.

December looks exciting this year with the tight grouping of scores at the top of the leader board. I bet some people have not quit fishing yet.

I am going to find some time to at the very least put my 10th species on the board. May even make a run at the Tiny fish trophy.

That is a tight field!  The top 4 are all solidly in the game.
