Why would he be cheated? Didn't he catch one hell of a fish himself? I'm glad for him.

Looking at the leader board, if Peter could put up a fish of around 66 pounds, he could still take the Angler of the Year award. If he could do that, all he'd be "cheated" out of would be a free replica mount. I'm sure he's already sent his 77.40 out if he wanted a mount.

Guy's caught two fish over 75 the last two seasons, so another 66 isn't all that far-fetched.

Is that what "angler of the year " gets you, a free replica mount ?
WOW !

Well lets see if he gets it certified IGFA world record, I bet not!

No, it gets a bunch of tackle prizes and maybe some other stuff. Redlite would be able to tell you exactly what--he's won the shore side of it twice, too. I think the surf guy gets a Van Staal among other stuff. The free mount is of the biggest boat and shore bass weighed in. Sometimes, that person isn't the Angler of the Year.

The mounts aren't really that expensive. The company that does them had a booth last year and I think they were around $400 as a "show special".
