S-B Angler of the Year - 2008

Without getting into the big drawn out battles like last year when discussing who you would nominate for S-B Angler of the Year, let us have a names only nomination process that will last until midnight tonight.

Simple Rules:

  • Angler needs to be a member
  • Name only
I'll take these names and put up an anonymous poll.

Thanks,

John

Tossup between Redlite and TO.
I can't make the call, not voting (I don't want to hurt anybody's feelings). Or John, maybe you give one vote for me, one for Naked #^&#^&#^&#^&y.

Redlite consistently dominated all year, from start to finish. No question he should get it.

With all due respect to others already mentioned, this should be a mere formality. Given our club participation in the Striper Cup, and Mike "Redlite" Veracka's well documented accomplishments during the May-September event, I have to second the nomination of Redlite for S-B Angler of the year.

Sauerkraut. At 62 no one punishes himself like he does for the sake of a fish. If you only knew how bad he has it.

Why even try.........
