As you all know that part of the problem is its still legal to keep stripers and some of the fishermen may or may not want to keep there catch which like it or not we have to respect that . I heard an idea from someone which I would like to see maybe happen is to print out a card which would have the words MS tournament and the year ill put in 2015 and have them laminated and you would have to put the card on the fish and then take a pic and have length and girth taken to submit the fish as most have a cell phone that can take pics.. This may not be cost effective but something to think about .I would like to get together with some reps from each club sat of the contest and discuss what we could do . Thanks Steve .
Dude! Glad to hear some changes could be in the works for a later date - completely understandable that this year is too late. As many have stated - we like and respect this tourney and what it does, just need to alter a bit how we do it
