Tim Behany won the Angler of the Year placque at Sunday’s Hi-Mar Striper Club Awards Dinner held in the Channel Club at Monmouth Beach. That award is based on points derived from weigh-ins of the species eligible, and Behany managed to win three of them with a 27.17-pound striper, an 11.8-pound bluefish, and a 1.67-pound winter flounder. Greg Vongas had the largest fluke at 9.01 pounds; Jim Curcio led in blackfish with an 8-pounder; Andy Knouse weighed a 5.2-pound sea bass; and Joe Tomaszewski boated a 23-pound cod. Stephen Machalaba recorded the largest tagged and released striper with a 44-incher, while Alan Beneroff once again claimed honors for the most tagged and released stripers.
A good crowd turned out to enjoy an outstanding buffet dinner at the beautiful facility overlooking Shrewsbury River. Bruce Smith, of the JCAA, won the most unique door prize — a grapple anchor hand-crafted and rigged with chain by Gene Graman, the dinner organizer who runs his That’s It out of Twin Lights Marina in Highlands

[toggle title=”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.
