2011 Master Angler pins

[mudchuck]

So, my youngest son qualified for his Jr. MA, and they've to date sent him 3 of the 5 achievement cerificates. That was right up until Irene struck.
I've been in contact with F&W, and they apologized about why things are taking so long ans assured me that by the end of February all the certs and pins would be mailed out. We're now near the end of March and nothing has been received. My son is thinking they forgot him and I assured him that this stuff takes time, but I guess he is entitled to be inpatient at this point.
He caught a LM, SM, Rock Bass, Crappie & Seed that qualified.

The boy flat outfished me in the bass categories last summer! He was able to pull in the big ones while I would be right next to him and mine would be little 9" LM/SM bass...that's fishing for ya!

Question: (and please don't spout any more venom at me because I ASK a question or post an OBSERVATION), but has anyone received their MA pins for 2011 yet?

They are coming. My son also qualified for a 2011 pin. Earlier this week he received his last 3 certificates from last fall. We have also been in touch recently with Shawn who assures us that the pins have been ordered and will be mailed shortly. It is a great program and I commend Shawn and the others at the State who put it together. It allows C&R, promotes the sport, and the youth program is really exciting. Congratulations to your Master Angler son (and to you!!) Well done! We are already started on 2012 with Kyle's first salmon entry submitted. Now we just have to catch up with Matt!

Theresa (wife) got hers in the mail yesterday.. It is awsome! She also got a personal letter from the F&W comish and her last 3 certificates... The pin is really nice...

(be patient)

I guess since I was driving for all 6 of her Master angler fish I should feel better..... but i dont ;(


I wish I had a pin...


Congrats to your son~

He did get in this past weekend.
He's only missing (2) wall certificates of achievement, but no big deal.
He's proudly wearing his pin on the brim of his favoriteball cap.
Thanks for everyone's congrats!
