He produces year after year. Has numerous fifties to his credit. Does C&R these days. Never hesitant to share advice when asked, and he is the first one I solicit because he has the experience, time on the water, and has thought it through.
This year, last year, or next year. Doesn't matter. It is kind of an ongoing thing with Joe!

Well stated. The time and money Rockfish9 has unselfishly donated to promote the sport of fishing and the art of plug building is definitely worthy of recognition. Several times this year he has forfeit fishing (no matter how good it was) in order to accept speaking/seminar invitations from our various groups and clubs. Many years ago you changed the way I targeted striped bass, and it has been paying off in spades for almost as long.
Thank You Joe for being such a great ambassador to our sport! |

I would like to nominate SLIPKNOT
He is a very serious and dedicated angler
He is always willing to help new guys and share the fellowship of angling and plug building
HE is always great with children (including his own)
He is always helping in all forum activities
He is disgustingly humble
This list could go on for a lot more

I will nominate ProfessorM. Paul is a dedicated angler who used to fish a lot.He makes a half decent plug I'm told and I am hoping to get one for nominating him.I am sure this will make him cringe but he is deserving.

Nightfighter,
Just read that you took a fiddy last season.
Congratulations. Couldn't happen to a better
guy. Now next one goes back. Sorry I didn't
hear earlier. But better late than...... I forget.

Thanks for the kind words Patrick 
I didn't catch much last year so I'm not sure I am worthy, but thanks for thinking of me anyway.
If we are nominating still, I third Professor M  |

I nominate Timmah... Not many guys fish harder, much less from the surf. He'll fish 6 nights a week from May to November till 3am, then go to work. Then do it all over again night after night. He releases almost every fish and would have released the fish he won the ditch troll contest with had I not said... DUDE you better weigh that! He is always super helpful to beginners and never once puts himself above another fisherman. He's by far the most humble fisherman I've ever known. He is always willing to take some guy he just met to his favorite spot. Not to mention he taught me pretty much everything I know about plug building.

I'll second DZ. He should at least be nominated every year, and should win at least one. Lots of helpful, educational posts over the years, and of the (very) few seminars I've attended, one he gave at the MSBA show a couple years ago about lunar phases sticks in my mind the most. Those on the list already, as well as the ones we haven't thought of yet are all very deserving also, and my hat goes off to all of them.

I would like to nominate the best all around fisherman on this site fresh water or salt and one of the nicest, easygoing people I know not to mention generous with his time, his knowledge and his friendship......Roy Leyva!!! He just plain gets it done!! 
If this is S-B "Niceguy" of the year the list is long but if you want S-B "Angler" of the year......Roy is at the top as far as I am concerned but all those mentioned are very good fishermen and even better people! |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

I'll second WESTPORTMAFIA. Putting aside his penchant for tranny porn and his lack of personal hygeine, he's a damn good fisherman and puts in about as much time as anyone. He's also very helpful with others and when the fishing's slow, he's good for a few laughs.

The ballot is getting crowded with some really GOOD & WORTHY candidates for S-B.com Angler of the Year. I am honored my 2 mates saw fit to nominate me however I think they just wanted another free ride.  JR: I appreciate it if you would remove my name from the ballot. |

If this is a popularity poll, I'll pass on nominations, but if it's truly and Angler of the Year poll, I'll second Larry's nomination for RoyL. The guy has more fishing accomplishments than pretty much anyone on the site. He should have been picked several times already.

Several of the past winners don't contribute much of anything here on the site. I think RoyL contributes more than some of them. Just not so much in the off season. |

Contribute to me would be participating in discussions on a regular basis;maybe posting once a month would be a conservative suggestion.If you noticed,I did preface my suggestion with "I think" so please don't misconstrue my suggestion as a rule and understand that it is nothing against RoyL whose name I did not mention but he has 3 posts in the last calendar year. I just think an AOTY for SB.com should frequent the site and contribute more than Cowhunter.Not to mention freshwater exploits don't count.

So this is more of a "Good Ole' Boy" award than an actual "Angler of the Year" award. Do you "think" freshwater does not count or it just does not count??? Its a striper site?? Cod, tuna, shark, bluefish??? No count or....???? Maybe rename it "Striper Angler of the Year" with a sub-title "All Around Good Guy and Contributor with "X" amount of posts per year??? Not setting any rules though.....sorry I guess my nomination is the only one that is invalid......just strike it from the record JohnR. Just too silly in here sometimes.

Shouldn't "Angler of the Year" be awarded based on what somebody did for that 1 year you are voting on.
in other words, who would you award this to, based on their accomplishments in 2011.
We could always award an S-B "Lifetime Achievement" award too.... for those who have a history of consistency in fishing and dedication/contribution to the S-B community.
