I hate to think stripers will end up like a put and take fishery, insted of stocking them we let them breed and at 28 there gone.just my 2 cents. ed

Well we went through this several times over.The folks at OTW have made some changes to the rules.Under the new rules the tournament does seem more fish friendly.An well beneath the limits u can take by law.Comparing 12" bass to 20 lb stripers kept alive is apples an watermelons, really.U have the right not to partake an that is fine.thanks for ur input.looking for both sides of the coin here.

FORE!
