Please don't take this the wrong way, because I loved the guy like a brother, but Saltheart simply hasn't fished very much in recent years to meet that. We will definitely come up with a very fitting way to honor him at TFCTFN. He gave more to this site than anyone but John, IMO. Certainly much more than I have in recent years. But if John says fishing comes first, we should focus on fishing first. Just my two cents.
I think we should honor Mike this year for what he gave to this site, unselfishly, as both a contributor of good and helpful advice and as a moderator, and honor him in the future by creating an award based on a member's overall contributions to the site, bearing Mike's name. As we do for Habs with the Angler of the Year award.

I like this and I agree with this and I thin kthis is the route we should go, by finding a way to honor Mike and honor those that help out others in the way that Saltheart did - that may be the most fitting way.
As for Steve, he had an absolutely incredible year when he passed and could have been voted AOY had he survived. Not just in passing.
As for this award, I will tend to do what the forum at large wants to do (for the most part) but I think this should be
Participating Angler - meaning someone that participate
AND had an exceptional year out in the Salt.
There are some that are being nominated that are not participating or some that are participating but not angling. I truly think it shouold be someone
