I have not liked the tourney since its inception. IMO it was formed at the wrong time for the wrong reasons. This is nothing against my friends who work at OTW - just the tourney.

To be a legitimate tourney that is responsible to striped bass conservation it needs to do a few more things.

It must donate a portion of the proceeds to some sort of charitable cause.

It should limit participation to amateurs only - no professional fishermen (for example no Charter Capts or crews (patrons only), no one holding a R&R Comm pin hookers license).

Bass entered cannot be sold commercially.
