Striper Talk Striped Bass Fishing, Surfcasting, Boating - View Single Post - OTW "Striper Cup Tourney" Format is Irresponsible to the Fishery

I'm glad Chris and OTW are concerned about constructive input. They're smart - without support from their patrons they have a financial disaster.
But lets remember - its not whether the bass can take the pressure of another tournament - that's never been the question here.

The concern here is whether the final score for the Striper Cup will be
3000 pounds to 2500 pounds when it could just as well be 300 pounds to 250. Both sets of numbers determine a winner - but the lower numbers are much more conservative and ethical in this day and age.
I wish them luck.
