The gauntlet has been thrown.Time to show us your big one!

Here's the first submission for 2023 Angler of the Year - a fat 18-inch largemouth winched up by Bill Prater Friday morning from an unnamed northern Colorado pond.  

Yes, the 2022 contest officially began Jan. 1 and runs through year-end. Awards are based on a percentage of the Colorado Master Angler criteria for the individual species entered. Skeptics may note that Bill's 18-incher barely qualifies for a Master Angler, but hey, it's bigger than anything you've entered so far. He suggests getting off your duff and going fishing.

Entries must be caught within the state of Colorado, from water potentially open to any club member. Last year's winner was a hefty walleye from Boyd Lake by the late Norm Engelbrecht. 

When you have an entry, submit it, ideally with photo, to Jim Roode, jimroode@yahoo.com
