Even a monkey could win this award if he had a bucket of eels and a wetsuit....
Add a camera and a keypad and we have an internet hero.

Seems to me you could apply this reasoning and come up with many different names depending on who you know.
I would apply the above and still come up with Flaptail this year as he embodied all of the above...nice person, angler, and ambassador to the sport just to name a few attributes.

That is where YOU the nominator, can apply your criteria to AOY. For some, it is pure fishing greatness, others responsibility to the fishing community, others may choose other factors. What one person may define as the necessary qualities to "award" are different from others. My only desire is that people make a sincere and deserving recommendation, instead of a gag or farce recommendation.

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
