I thought there was a "30 or don't get your hands dirty" rule in place but you know Chris.......people do not have to live their lives according to your will. They have minds of their own and have certain rights and what you need to do is respect those rights and decisions instead of making personal attacks on people because they do not agree with "your way". There are many who fish and enter the "Cup" and I may not agree with the way they do things but I have enough respect for them to understand that it is their right and their decision to do as they will as long as it is within the rules of the "Striper Cup" and the laws set forth by the state. Criticizing me and the results I get from my fishing experience really does not bother me either Chris......I get great results fish wise and I enjoy getting out and fishing and much of the time its more about just being with friends and enjoying a good experience or making great memories. You ought to try to enjoy some of the good fellowship that goes on here at S-B instead of lambasting people for doing what they have a right to do and enjoying what they choose to enjoy! Love to fish with you anytime Chris.....bet it would be fun! For the record.....I respect the way you think and I agree with you most of the time.....but unless folks are violating rules or breaking laws I do not have a right to be critical of them.
For the record I am not participating in tournaments as that is not what it is about.....for me.
