Nobel, I mean Angler of the Year

Obama Named Angler of the Year

Surprise Selection Shocks Fly Fishing Community

West Yellowstone (The Marinaro-Koch Journal) – President Barack Obama stunned the fly fishing world today by picking up its highest honor, Angler of the Year.

Mr. Obama was chosen unanimously, according to the AMFF, beating out clear favorites Ted Leeson and Craig Matthews.

At the New York Angler’s Club, fly fishing insiders were shocked by Mr. Obama’s selection, given that he’s been in office for less than one year and during that time has yet to land a single fish. But he did wear all the right gear during a recent “secret” photo shoot.

Mr. Obama was most gracious in receiving the honor saying that he was, “humbled and honored” by the award before excusing himself to accept this year’s Heisman Trophy.
