That sums up my 2008 season so far.
I'm actually glad the cup is over. Got close to 10 hrs of sleep last night and my hands feel quite good.
Can honestly say although I love the sport, I'm still highly incentivized and would only fish half as many days/nights as I did without the tourney competition.
Good thing about the striper cup for me is it’s like my commercial days. I prepare my gear meticulously, check knots, and change line, etc, almost to a fault. Success rate is higher with added incentive. Simply enjoying it isn’t enough. I needed a goal to justify fishing 14 of the last 20 nights while making 125 mile round trips and sacrificing precious sleep.
Rest of my season will be geared towards one real large fish, albeit on a slower pace than the last month.
Congrats on the fish John, I'm very happy for you.
