Agreed, it should be for somebody who had a particularly good year, not solely based on somebody who is an all around great person and contributer, ya know?

RR has 2nd himself! FAIL or FOUL?

Good to see Niko, Buzz & Freak are on the list as I agree that the all should be. They all fish more than I could dream and with great results too across all kinds of species. I personally met Freak this past week and not only is he a great fisherman but a nice guy too (aside from tons of Cod and Bass a huge Mako at the end of 2010 and a slob Tuna in 2011).

There are a lot of guys on this sight that catch and don’t tell so it really hard to make a fair a worthy nomination in addition to the guys already on the list.

One guy not on the list that should be is Mark “chathamblue30”. One of the nicest guys around and willing to help anyone out. More importantly and the reason for a nomination, he consistently slays big fish in high numbers……….

I will run this until about noon today


Larry, what we have gone by in the past is a minimum of 15 posts for that year. By that definition Roy wasn't actively participating on the site last year. As far as Roy goes, he could very well be Angler of the Decade in my opinion. So if I voted on this (which I won't unless it is to break a tie) I very well might have voted for Roy. (ROY, post more, you might have been a shoe in :wall: )

BigBo, all of the previous winners posted / contributed sufficiently in the years they have one.

Ron - you can't second yourself, even if in jest.

Nominated so far:

Piemma
Rockfish9
Rappin Mikey
Nightfighter
Niko
PRBuzz
Slipknot
ProfessorM
BasicPatrick
D.Z.
Westportmafia

People with one vote that would need seconding:

Timmah
FishingFreak
Raider Ronnie

Unfortunately, RoyL, Biteme, and ChatamBlue30 don't meet the minimum posts for 2011

John,

so someone only has to post a little more frequently than once per month to be "SB Angler of the year"? Shouldn't they be contributing members of the sight? Asking someone to post once a week (50 posts) doesn't see to much to be considered for SB Angler of the year. There are people here who come on every day and answer the same questions month after month. Ask a question about a piece of equipment and they'll patiently come back and answer any question you ask or answer the question in a different way until your satisfied. And they're great fisherman. Respectfully asking you to raise the min. to 50 posts.
Thanks

Paul - i understand but there are people that we also meet up with out fishing or at events that are very active contributors to the site that just don't post much. I can think of a dozen awesome anglers that are always there to help out or go fishing that post 10 times per year.

Very tough line to walk as it is not zero sum.

Probably because they are busy fishing and not online like the rest of us :)

JR,

Raider Ronnie nominated Freak and Niko second him so it looks like Freak is in? If he isn't, I'll second him. If he doesn't need the second, I'll 2nd Ronnie so he doesn;t have to second himself :)

:love:

OK Ronnie and The Freak are seconded. Anonymous poll will be next.
