Guys, I think you are putting the cart before the horse with this website team. The teams are representing the states they are in. How could S-B.com as a regional forum field a team only from one state. Maybe have state divisions of S-B.com. I don't think it is fair to the smaller traditional clubs, like my own CTSurfcasters with under 200 members if a 10,000 member site is allowed to compete. I don't think I like the fact of 10,000 formerly C&R guys trying to take two a week for a trophy:hs: . A fishing club should be defined as a chartered club that holds monthly meetings. Maybe have a website challenge division next year. The key word here is traditional.

Whats wrong with the odds 10,000 to 200? Better than Lotto. :bl2: And does that mean your CT club cannot fish in RI?

Seriously though.... John would probably have to field a RI and a MA team.... with some kind of set number. Though when all is said and done I think many will opt for solo membership.

There can be only one.:tooth:

S-B.COM MA Team, S-B.COM RI Team, S-B.COM CT Team, many ways to do this. B.A.S.S. is a club/organiztion with a zillion members, yet they still field teams in tournaments.

I agree that there are many ways to do this so why don't you contact OTW and change the rules so that every club can adhere to the same rules.
I personally like NIB's opinion on this derby.

Striper Cup
 

Rethinking here ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dave... this is an excellent point. Even if its only 500 entrants. I`ve kept one bass since I`ve been fishing in 97 and a few more I gave to other fisherman.

This killing of more bass would be a big negative and would surely be a factor for fishers striving to win in this contest.

If I do enter the Cup I think I`d only keep something over 40# and I`ve never caught one over 40 yet but if in the Cup I`d be much more inclined to try harder.

I was think'n the same thing also.To win overall Someone will put up some huge numbers.This will garner mixed reactions.It's a different world now.

Two fish a week would be a ton of fish for my family. The CTDEP advises that women who are pregnant or want to become pregnant should not eat any striped bass. Everybody else should have no more than one meal every two months. Thats only six meals a year. I would have to find a soup kitchen or something to "dispose" of all those pounds of fish. Too bad it can't be some kind of catch and release. I too have not kept a bass in the last several years.
