Hunh? Kind of like the participation trophies they hand out at little league nowadays.
Must be, cuz I know one of these guys and he is in no way shape or form a highliner in any sense of the word.
Jerry McCune has dedicated his life to commercial fishermen's causes around the state. He is very deserving of this award.
I have worked with one of these guys, Jerry McCune, and he is certainly deserving even though I have disagreed with many of his positions over the years. I see that he just took over as President of UFA, a tough and mostly thankless task. Another sign of his dedication to putting Alaskan Fishermen before his personal interests.
Thank you National Fisherman for recognizing this dedicated Alaskan fisherman.
I don't know the Robert's that well or I would comment.

GO TEAM!!!
The National Fisherman Highliner Award is given to those who uphold a standard of excellence in their advocacy of the fishing industry. I know Robert Heyano well. He most certainly deserves this award.
