2004 JCAA Awards Dinner

On Sunday, November 14th, JCAA held its annual Sportsperson-of-the-Year award dinner/dance at the beautiful Crystal Pt. Yacht Club in Pt. Pleasant.  This year’s honoree was Len Fantasia.  Len was nominated for this award by the Hi-Mar Striper Club and was elected by our member clubs at our general membership meeting in October.  Through Lenny’s efforts, out-of-state menhaden reduction boats were moved 1.2 miles offshore and eventually through Lenny’s efforts and the efforts of others these boats were removed from state waters altogether.  Anyone fishing for striped bass this year has Lenny to thank for the huge bass they are catching this year. 

In addition to receiving a plaque from JCAA, Lenny was also presented with a letter from Senator Corzine which was read by a representative from the senator’s staff.
