I don't know who won what and when, but I do know that my family and I will be in the crowd when the next AOY is crowned. More than likely won't have the boat with, don't think the wife's back could handle St. Clair. I'm betting no. Guess we will see.

A shame we don't have something like a cheesehead to put on the winner's head?? ;D

Help stop invasive spcies. Don't move fish between unconnected bodies of water. Clean, drain and dry your boat before launching on another water body.

Larry Nixon won the 1999 Bassmaster Top 150 on Lake St. Clair with a weight of 73lbs. 9oz. I fished as a co-angler and finished 15th with 30lbs. 3oz. My fishing partners were David Gregg (134th), Mark Menendez (138th), and Jimmy Houston (41st). All three were really good guys and I had a great time.

The list for that tournament is still listed on the Bassmasters website. It was interesting to look back and see who was in that tournament. Roland Martin finished second. Kim Stricker and Art Ferguson both had top ten finishes. What's also pretty cool (to me anyway) is that my weight was more than Skeet Reese, Shaw Grigsby, Denny Brauer, and Brent Chapman (new BASS AOY), among other notable pros. Maybe somebody can help me with this, I think the whole field of pros fished four days...or was it just the top ten? My memory isn't so good these days. I know I only fished three days. Also, Fish Fishburne was a trip and great fun onstage.

How about a Wolverines helmet?  The most unique and recognized piece of head gear ever!
Addicted to fishing.  All the time, any species, anywhere!!  Especially in West Michigan!!!

Too bad they don't have co-anglers anymore. That was tons of fun.

Yes but just between me and you, I hope you and your cameras aren't busy next year during those days. I plan on being in a boat or two or three myself anyway. Maybe you too?!?

That could be a problem... On St. Clair they hopefully will be catching so many bass that you are kept busy with your cameras!

We can go fishing after.

Somewhere in the Lake St. Clair Metropark. I'm sure there will be signs.
