Congratulations to our Angler of the Year 2011

Mr. Gary Hubble

Consistent finishes throughout the tournament season by Mr. Hubble once again earned him the title of Angler of the Year.  He began the year in 3rd place in the standings but with bulldog determination and superb angling skills he steadily worked his way to the top and maintained the lead.  Mr. Hubble will lead the Anvil Jaw Top Six team during the State Championship to be held on Lake Hamilton this coming fall.  Way to go Gary, you did well.
