Bob - I usually remain silent on this topic having been in the minority on prior discussions. I am against tournaments and any reason to mass kill bass. It bothers me to see so many large dead fish. I do feel anyone has the right as long as the fish is legal but I believe that people who may have released a fish, will kill, it if its a posibble contender.
Eric M above, I think thats an ignorant comment. I am not a hunter, fishing does not intentionally kill, I and many other go through great lenghts to release fish alive. I will keep my trophy fish when I get them, but will release 99%, its my choice.
The one point I want to make. It was not hunting that made the Bufallo almost extinct, it was over-hunting and expoliting the resource. So to me, tournaments are a bad use of a limited resource, stripers.
