Okay,,,,,,,,,,,,but in yer "Striperin': The Early Years" autobiography
would there be any stories of tourney participations and trophy kills??


you see, this is only my 4th Migration and i've yet to Land a Trophy.
i guess you could say that i'm still knee deep into the Hungry Stage.
and for me, the Tournaments are a way to "cash" in on the 3-5 fish
i would kill anywho, per year. last year i only killed ONE striper for ALL tournies entered.

i will say this, though, from your posts ~and the opinions of others, Eben~ i will not kill a fish in the 30#~40# range, ie barring any ill placed hooks. while the science is always late in providing data for what our EYES are telling us, inlieu of the statistics i will do my best to release ALL but 3 belly-fillers (32"-36") and keep only the 40#'ers and above that could make a difference in any of the tournaments i will enter. hey somebuddy's gottsta WIN the schwaaag?!

i do AGREE with how GOOD it feels to release a big Striper
however,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,maybe next year, C&R exclusively???
