When you look at the individual reports, you may see three cases where there is another name listed as having the most points, i.e., striped marlin and pacific sailfish in the release awards and Overall Fly in the special awards. These are cases where a member had already won three times and is no longer eligible; therefore the member next in line receives the award.

Lorraine Francis
125,964 release points in 47 species

73 species
Ginny Sherwood Trophy
Member who obtains the most weight points with a 5000 point limit on each species.
Dr. Julie Ball
57,004.392 weight points in 24 species
When you view the Sherwood Report, you will note that Lorraine had the most points. Our rules state that you may not win more than one of these top trophies; therefore, the Sherwood would then go to the member second in line. This would be Julies third win and would make her ineligible in the future due to our three times and youre out ruling.
The review period expires February17th and any and all questions, protests, and/or complaints must be in writing to the Awards Chairman by this date.
What a year of fishing it was! Lisa
