I have fished The Striper Cup and attended Striperfest for the past 3 years with the good fortune to be on a 3 year old team that has either placed very well or won the cup and I have consistantly enjoyed going to Striperfest in spite of a 5 hour drive. On The Water did what I found to be a very stand up thing this year by having a mount done for the 77.5 Peter Vican caught. You can think what you choose about Mr. Meyerson's fish, I certainly have my opinion about that one, but I don't think anyone questions the validity of Vican's fish and OTW had no obligation to have that mount done but had the class to do it anyway. I look foward to fishing it next year and tough I hope my team does better than this year it's not that important and you won't find we whining about it like one of the Team Striper guys was doing to me.

But your team did whine about Myersons fish to OTW.
I wasn't there, but I heard the poster with Myersons fish that was hanging up at the venue said"Greg Myerson, Team Striper" on it!???

I have my opinion, too. And it's this---if you doubt the validity of Myerson's fish, either put up, or shut up. :doh:

Your opinion is horribly transparent, so---why not state your proof that it's not legit?

I've had enough of all the snide innuendo---mere speculation without a shred of evidence, IMO.

Striper Cup Thief?
 
My buddy who was one of the vendors said that during the awards ceremony someone got caught stealing a VS and some other stuff. Did anyone else hear this?

OTW may run the tourney well and it may be a mice event. The whole thing seems to lack credibility to me. #1 they pay to have the Rhodie fish mounted and it counts toward the cup? Then they flip flop on Myersons fish? What is that all about? Sounds like BS. I am not a huge fan of the tournament but regardless. The Guy obviously fishes his ass off he has a pending WR but OTW won't allow it in the tourney. They should provide explanation as to why the flip flop. The Guy has apparently toppled one of the most coveted records in the fishing world. He should get all the credit due or be Misproven. Other wise all the background noise is simply chatter and innuendo

OTW is not saying anything about the validity of the record fish but about the validity of whether the fish qualified for the Team standings. I have heard a couple different theories descriptions of what happened to determine whether it should be allowed or not but I haven't heard anything definitive or concrete. Certainly another case of no answer will be good enough for everyone.

I still have my doubts about that Charles Church fish.

fatcow 10-04-2011 04:51 PM

Why couldn't the $10000 ticket be in my box. Great job by OTW . It's all about having a good time with ur friends not like alot of the drama said here. Its time for all the Ma guys to team up and bring the cup back to Ma
