Watched a show I have never seen before on the Outdoor Channel at 9:00 am this morning........Boring with a capital "B"! Anyone else see it? It was a striper catching tournament on a lake in Virginia sponsored by the National Striped Bass Association. Just a bunch of good ol' boys, two man teams, fishing from boats with about eight rods in the water, and flippin' out everytime they got a hit. The biggest fish I saw taken was 14.70 pounds and the way these guys were screaming when they hooked up, you would swear they had at least a 30 pound fish on! One guy, and I quote..."Whoa....ja see dat...dat fish bout' pooled me out' da bowt'.....Gawd awl mighty...dat fish bowt' pooled me out da bowt'.....shewt....das a nyce feeesh!". The fish weighed all of about 14 pounds......I don't know, its just not like catching them from the ocean I guess......just looked too much like a largemouth tournament. I could have won that tournament fishing from the beach for crying out loud. As hard as it was watching these good ole' boys "wrastle" with these "nice feeesh", it was more difficult just listening to them talk! Just one guys opinion.....give me the ocean, the salt and the sand....and a big ole'

sea run striper any day of the week! You can keep those fresh water striped bass thank you very much! Anyone else see this show?
