In the early lead

[BMEUPSCOTTY]

From OTW email update:

May is rapidly coming to an end, and the weigh-in slips that are starting to come in are nothing less than impressive. Who's going to take the first set of keys that might start this year's new Toyota Tundra is still anyone's guess, but there's already some stiff competition. In the boat division we have John Riley from Mansfield, MA. He weighed in a whopping 51-pounder at Westport Marine in Westport, MA on May 22. Can John continue catching these quality fish? I don't know, but I can't wait to see his next weigh in. Keep up the good work.
The shore fishermen, not wanting to be outfished by the boaters, have been busy too. For starters, Craig Stockwell fishing for the Striped-Bass.com team weighed in a huge 40.86-pound fish at The Saltwater Edge in Middletown, RI on May 19. When you take into consideration the 1.3 multiplier for being a shore fish, it gives his team 53.11 points. Combine that with Tyler Rhoads' weigh-in of another shore striper weighing in at 35.2 pounds (45.76 points) at Captain Dons in Charlestown, RI, and it gives Striped-Bass.com the lead at 98.87 points. Close behind in second place is the RISAA team, also with two shore weigh-ins. Thomas Mcguire's 24.9-pounder (32.37 points) and Steve McKenna's 30-pounder (39 points) gives RISAA 71.37 points.

Wow... Good work guys

[Mike P]

TO should be adding another 45 or so points, too.

[tattoobob]

Good job guys,

[Slipknot]

as of thursday, S-B was 100 points ahead of Jersey

Once they update it, I hope team S-B has more points or I think Jersey is gonna give you a run for your money

and with MV right behind

Don't forget also--commercial season opened yesterday.

Team #^&#^&#^&#^&'s isn't going to be in 10th place for very long

Bass & Brew doesn't even have a fish on the board yet--expect that to change, too

[Mike P]

Based on reports from NJ and NIB, I think we should enjoy the big chair while it lasts---because someone else is going to be sitting there soon

[NIB]

I am pretty sure after this weekend 36 is our smallest..
All from shore..

[Mike P]

Nothing against any other club, but if we had to be edged out, I'm glad it was by surf recs.

Although if I was pressed, I would have to say that a 33% weight bonus for shore is a bit unfair to the boaters. Something in the 15-20% range would have been fairer to all.

Take away the #10 fish from SB, and jump all they way up to a new #1 at 44.25 shore, for 57.525 points. Net gain of 14+ points.

No it's not me.

NIB's crew is up to 497 and change
