Just an old sour kraut I guess

[ I don't know if I'll fish the striper cup next year because I find myself thinking more about catching a big fish to help my team than I do about fishing. That's my problem though.}

Do I detect from your above statement that you are evolving? I stopped fishing even your Derby because I questioned if I needed the lure of prize, notoriety, or competition to make me fish. I did not; as I was out there around the calendar. Then I started to resent the crowds who would now show ONLY then, and mercifully be gone the day it ended.

This OTW Striper Cup/Team/Tournament thing is Bull: the killing of more of these big fish than you would otherwise want or eat..."for the team". And your Derby: how about knocking off a mediocre bass or blue because the fishing is maybe poor, and you may have a blindman shot at the Daily, or worse yet...the "Mystery" Prize?

Do you recall, Mr. Malowski, an old sour kraut out at Norton's one fine summer evening two years ago?
