After the two close classic seconds this should be very sweet for him. Now win the damm classic Aaron.

Aaron entered the final Tour event in 6th place in the AOY standings trailing Marty Stone by 32 points, yet he was able to win the title with a 12 point margin. THAT is pressure under fire. When you consider that he won last year's U.S. Open and has two runner-up finishes in the BASSMASTER Classic (in the last four years), he is (IMHO) the best angler out there right now, bar none.

Congratulations my friend - you earned it!

Way to go Aaron! The West once again makes its mark in bass fishing.

I'm sure Carol is about to burst with pride. Aaron, good job my friend, we're all proud of you.

I'm with you Guy, the only challenge left in the pro ranks for Aaron Martens is to win the Bassmaster Classic. That trophy would look sweet next to the AOY!
