Default Highlights and low points

I've been meaning to start this for a while. Thought i would ask this question to the comp anglers on here.
What would be your personal highlights of the year and your low points of the year!
ie your best results most enjoyable event and most dissapointing result or somthing that spoiled your event!

Being part of the Scottish team and winning GOLD on our home water in the International, fishing my favourite method!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! with some cracking boat partners too i must add. My low point must be the AW heat at the LAKE when i turned up late (due to traffic), bagged up in an hour and still did not manage to qualify. Lets say i was GUTTED....... Looking forward to next year already.

Thought id ask the question before i answerd it if that makes sense

My high light was split in two realy being part of the welsh team to win gold on Chew valley in the spring was a fantastic with my mate Gazza getting the Bowl.
Then going to the anglian final and Winning a silver medal this competition remains the the best competition of the yaer for me.

And my low point would have to be missing out individualy in the Welsh eliminators for the teams for 2010 where Aled is captain and Kieron's debut.

Highlight was getting back into the scottish rivers team for the river tees next year, only thing that spoiled it was blanking my third session, one fish and i would have won it easy, i had 8, bloke that won it had 5 but caught in every session.

Low point was the way myself and the team performed this year at the river international on the taff, sick sick sick

High - Top Irish Rod on Chew together with with heaviest fish

Low - Hooking a fish on Sheelin, head shaking, line onto the reel then...ping! Love to have seen that fish

If 2010 is half as good as 2009 I'll be more than happy
