Welcome to the 2007 Bulletin Board Personality of the Year Contest...aka the BBPOTY

This "Contest" began as a way to recognize fellow BB members for all great things that you folks take the time to bring to others here the Board...basically, your friendship and fishing knowledge, which is shared with others here. There are MANY of you that bring a LOT and share not ONLY of your FISHING knowledge, but also of your minds and HEARTS.

There are NO "official" prizes sanctioned by the Club NOR BB Members in General...BUT I personally have already mentioned SOMETHING to you Members in a post last January...and at this point it is a SECRET AGAIN until the winner is announced this coming January <!--graemlin::p-->

LAST year's winner joda911 was recognized for being a great topic starter...many times for topics that were just plain fun...or where we could post various "Life information" (You Didn't Know...Now You Know)...and for being just a darn good person <!--graemlin:;)-->

As I've said in the past, there are many others deserving of such recognition...so many that this year I won't even TRY to name folks...ya'all know how I feel about you. Besides, we "Judges" can NOT publically endorse ANY "candidates". <!--graemlin::p-->

Which brings up ONE of the MAIN points about this contest. YOU as voters can vote for ANYONE here on the BB...WITH the exception of this year's judges, who are....

SuwanneePaul
papa_d
joda911
Rod Tender
Eric Ridenour
and myself <!--graemlin:;)-->

Here's a breakdown of the Rules. This was originally documented by Rod Tender and Walleye Wayne. Thank you gentlemen once AGAIN for your "professionalism" and HEARTS <!--graemlin::cool:-->
