Unhappy I Blew It.......Sorry

I need to withdraw that fish from the Striper Cup.

I broke the following rule:

• A competitor must be registered in the tournament 1 DAY BEFORE commencing to fish."

I wasn't.

I had thought I just need to be entered a full day to weigh in a fish. I had started a thread about this a while back and had remembered it wrong.

It sucks because I had others that rivaled that fish that would have been within the rules(24 hours after I registered). Oh well.

Sorry for crying wolf. I sent an e-mail to OTW.

Mike - still a great fish. Looks like you a hit a snag as far as the rules go but backing out is probably the right thing to do.

Now, tell me where they are and I'll try to make it up for you

Mike, that was pretty "Stand Up" of you....a lot of guys would have not said anything. I'm going to have to use you as an "Example" at our next Troop meeting. Now there's a 50 in your future......

Oh, and if you let me know where you got them I'll go back and get one of her sisters to make up for it.....

I'm on Vaca this week I can help you out with that.

yeah Mike that was a pretty honest thing to do and it is very good karma. Either way, you still landed the fish and have the slip to prove it so nobody can take that away!

In a world where people cheat during charity tournaments this is good to see especially during a money and prize tournament.

It definitely sets you apart from folks who have 4 team members weigh in the same fish for the same tournament , or from folks who "borrow" a fish from a buddy to take first place in their clubs tourney etc etc...

I think it was a simple misunderstanding and it seems you've handled the matter as best as possible. Good for you now GO GET 'EM!!!!

Domination takes full concentration..

OTW has asked me to investigate this issue further. You are hereby offically requested to promptly send me more details as exactly to when and where this fish was caught in order to put this unfortunate transgression to rest, or you will risk further reprecussions. Thank you, and do not forget to enclose all plugs employed during this activity.
