Both were as deserving as anyone else alive. My .02 cents.
Larry, don't get me wrong, John, Steve and now Mike are all great fishermen who contributed a ton to the site. I just don't feel it is a fitting tribute to win such an award after one passes on. There are better ways that we can honor these guys.
