Best Angler ESPY Award

The Best Angler ESPY Award has been presented annually since 2006 to the amateur or professional angling sport fisherman, irrespective of gender or nationality, adjudged to be the best in a given calendar year; although the award may technically be presented to an angler of any fish, in practice only bass fishermen are considered as nominees.

Balloting for the award is undertaken by fans over the Internet from amongst between three and five choices selected by the ESPN Select Nominating Committee, and the award is conferred in June to reflect performance and achievement over the preceding twelve months.
