2020 AOY Standings

The first of several Angler of the Year standings have been released and the race is tighter than ever. The full AOY Standings can be found by following the link at the bottom of this article. New names and familiar faces line the top 40 anglers. That statement cannot ring more true than at the top of the standings. Jake Ainsworths who has just finished his 4th event with the OKA, spanning over two seasons holds the #1 spot over long time OKA angler Josh Barlow. Ainsworth compiled his points with a win at Lake Murray and a 9th place finish at the latest Lone Chimney, Hominy, and Pawnee Lakes road runner. Angler Josh Barlow has a 3rd place finish at Lake Murray and a 13th place finish at Lone Chimney, Hominy, and Pawnee lake road runner. The battle for first cannot be understated as the AOY champion will win $1,000 and a 2021 season sponsorship by Dobyns rods as well as some good looking hardware.

Angler of the Year points as well as Newcomer of the Year points are compiled from each event and anglers are given points based on their tournament finish as follows. 1st Place: 100 points, 2nd Place: 99 points, and 3rd place: 98 points and so on. Anglers who do not score a legal fish during the event will receive a -15 points from the last angler to score a legal fish. Anglers will have their best 5 events scored to compile the final AOY standings. However, anglers can only have 1 online event count towards AOY and NOY standings. The final AOY and NOY standings will be released Sunday, September 20th after the final trail event on Lake Tenkiller. The top 40 anglers in those final standings will be formally invited to the State Championship held on Lake Texoma in mid October.
