In 2014, as president of Vas County, he provided the opportunity for the Vas County Association of Sport Fishing Associations to participate in the development of the Vas County Territorial Development Strategy and thereby opened the doors to the development of fishing infrastructure in Vas. Fishing tourism developments that had never been seen before could start. The waterfront investments realized by the financial resources of the TOP tourism tenders currently provide cultured, orderly waterfronts for thousands of our fellow fishermen. In addition to tourism and regional development, it focuses primarily on the protection of county values and the cultivation of culture, as well as traditional gastronomy. One of the tasks of the Association is to promote fish dishes and fish consumption, which is closely related to László Majthényi's 2020 book Wild and Fish Foods on the Western Edge. In addition to the development issues of the fishermen, László Majthényi has been a participant of the Pinka-völgy Fish Day since the beginning, as a member of the jury on several occasions, and he sometimes added color to the event with a fish fry.

The third recipient this year was Tibor Monos , a fly-fishing specialist who received recognition for the fishing sport of Vas County, member of the Supervisory Committee of the Sárvíz Lake Fishing Association and the Vas County Association of Sport Fishing Associations, a former fly-fishing national team. Tibor Monos was born in Nagykanizsa and lives in Keszthely with his family, but he actively visited the iron waters already in the 90s, fishing together with László Lőrincz, the "King of Domolykó". His close relationship with the Association has been around for almost 20 years now, which started with the promotion of Vasi Vizek as a specialist writer in the Horgászvilág newspaper, and has continued to this day in Magyar Horgász magazine. The slogan "It's good to fly" at the end of his articles has become a catchphrase nowadays. Tibor is an excellent fly fisherman who actively participated in the launch and organization of national fly fishing championships within the framework of MOHOSZ. He achieved excellent results at the national championships and represented our country in the world as a member of the national team and as a national team captain. He is keen on strengthening the stock of native brown trout in the Vasi streams, which is why he actively helped with the stocking of almost all brown trout and voluntarily transported brown trout from Lillafüred to the Vasi waters, when no one else would. He has been a member of the Sárvíz Lake Fishing Association for 15 years, a member of its Supervisory Committee, and he has been participating in the work of the Supervisory Committee of the Vas County Association of Sport Fishing Associations for 10 years now. You can meet Tibor at the fly fishing competitions and by the Vasi streams, at almost every Vasi children's camp and at the Pinka-völgy Fish Day as a speaker and as a participant in the fish fry.

After the presentation of the awards, the members unanimously accepted the report of the Supervisory Committee, and then discussed the annual professional evaluation of the Association's executive president, Norbert Puskás . The report revealed that in the year 2022, the number of adult and child anglers registered in 2021 in the 28 member associations of the Vas County Association of Sports Fishing Associations has been increased to an unprecedented height of 12,002. It is a great pleasure that, from this number of members, the number of children exchanging state tickets also increased to 1,833, which is an increase of 52 compared to the number of children in 2021 of 1,781. In contrast to previous years, it was already seen at the beginning of last year that the cost increases of the extremely high fish prices were only partially covered by the increases in the fishing license prices for 2022. Thus, the most important goal is to maintain the level of stocking of fish of catchable size and to ensure their continuous acquisition and release. Last year, due to the drought, the fish farming industry reached the point where even the most popular fish, the carp, was already a result in certain periods of the year if they could provide the necessary quantity to a specific fishing organization. In 2022, in addition to 59,218 kg of carp, 14,516 kg of bream and 1,418 kg of catchable predatory fish (pike, catfish, perch) were released.

It is a particularly great pleasure for the Association that, despite the difficulties in fish management, 9,955 kg of the carp were extra-sized between 5-8 kg, which was a particularly great fishing experience for many fellow anglers during the year. In the past year, the Association was the main or co-organizer of nearly 20 events in the field of competitive fishing, and won numerous EU and domestic tenders for the development of fishing waters and fishing infrastructure. After the professional report, the financial report presented by Etelka Biró, the economic manager, was presented to the attendees, which showed that the past year, in addition to the developments and professional successes, again ended with a positive financial result. The delegates voted to accept the public benefit report and the simplified accounting report with HUF 286,848,000 in revenue and HUF 285,601,000 in expenses. At the meeting, the work plan and program calendar were also on the agenda, but the delegates also approved the proposals for the membership fee and this year's budget, as well as adopted investment regulations, and finally amended the organization's statutes.

In the last part of the meeting, the renewal took place, for which the nominations were presented by László Cziráky, the chairman of the Nominating Committee. The member association delegates elected - for the next five years - the leading officials of the Association and the members of the Supervisory Board in a secret ballot without a counter vote. Miklós Seregi, the head of the Körmend Border Fishing Association, was once again elected president of the Association, who is now starting his third five-year term. László Laki , the president of the Vasvári Petőfi Fishing Association, remains the vice-president of the organization, and Elektromosok SHE will once again take over the duties of the chairman of the Supervisory Board in the next term. member, Attila Kovács . The delegates elected fellow anglers Dr. Ildikó Nagy, Dr. Tamás Molnár, Tibor Monos, and Ferenc Pukler as members of the Supervisory Committee. As part of the secret voting, a decision was also made about the 28 members of the Executive Committee delegated by the member associations.

After the announcement of the results, President Miklós Seregi thanked them for their trust and congratulated the elected officials. The head of the Federation Office, executive president Norbert Puskás , asked the old and newly elected officials to continue to work together, helping each other's work, in order to maintain and develop fishing opportunities in Vas county.
