One idea that I think should be thrown around is exactly what the AOTY should embody. Is it strictly who catches the most bass?Should the AOTY be an angler who targets many species with different methods like RoyL?Should it be an angler who promotes and protects the sport and offers insight which has taken years and years to acquire like Numby or DZ?
There are many things to consider unless it is as simple as the high hook for the year.One young buck I have the opportunity to fish with is a guy you can put anywhere. Give him a boat or waders. Give him eels or plugs. Target bass,tuna,tog or fluke and Rob Taylor will catch.He is not a contributor online here but this is the type of angler I consider to be worthy of such an award.

sounds like Flaptail to me
and DZ also

Is Rob Taylor even a registered S-B member? If so he does not participate at all?

ROY L or FLAPTAIL u know that is a impossable pick .but flap had a great fall striper season , and it was no bull sh*t he fished hard ,and caught plenty , maybe it was a sign .......but let me say that steve loved to fish for everthing,but striperes was his true passion ..steve loved to fish, that was his thing. we all have other insterest hunting, golf ,bowling etc but not steve ,it was fishing and family.its my honor to vote flaps name on that fine list of great fisherpeople...i'm still pissed at him for leaving the party soooooooo early.... i miss him bad. it kills me to think about him .....god bless ......dave laporte
