Jamie Robinson did it again, crowned the Princecraft Angler of the Year for the Northern Ontario Walleye Trail.  Robinson had a great year as he cashed a cheque at 3 out of the 5 events he fished this year.  Robinson also represented Team Canada at the AIM Can-AM this past year.  His winnings this year included $9000 in cash and a new Princecraft Fisherman boat valued at $2000.  Robinson thanked his sponsors for their support is already looking forward to the 2013 season.  He continues to be a consistent angler and is in the mix every tournament he fishes in.

Coming in 2nd place was Robinson’s partner for most tournaments except for one, Terry Bernath.  Bernath finished a close second to cash a $500 cheque.  He also cashed in on $9000 in winnings this year.  Third place was a tie between to partners who make a really good team on the NOWT circuit.  Joe Giuliani and Norm Thorkilson have put their stamp on the NOWT in just 2 years on the circuit.  They both come from a tournament fishing background and are pretty seasoned anglers.  Fifth place was a tie as well  between partners who are well know on the circuit, Dan Hein & DJ Germain. 

It should be noted that the top 5 anglers all represented Team Canada on a national stage as Canada took on Team USA in AIM’s Can-Am format.  Unfortunately Canada did not defend their title but it is now even at 1 each. 

Look forward to seeing everyone on the 2013 trail.
