Striper Cup 2007

[Goose]

I like the competiveness that the striper cup draws. If I fish it might as well be for S-B but the real reason I'm in is personel satisfaction. After last years experience fish under 40# doesn't do much if your after say....angler of the year or biggest fish. If I enter won't weigh fish under 40#, not like I catch alot anyway but thats what I like about the Striper Cup...its another incentive to target cows which in turn will make me a better fishermen and closer to my personel goals.
It seems to me there is a few people that think they're saving the planet by constantly reminding about the whole ''kill thing'', you could be more effective by standing ouside fish houses with a peta sign instead, your just a yuppie gene away. Are they spending that same time pushing to change laws? I wonder.

Great point about the commercial guys when "in season" Flap - to cull through 30 fish 3x a week versus the regular Joe is a big advantage for them.

Agree with the minimum pound entry thought, as well as extending the dates for the tourney. When I saw the end-date of the tourney and when they were having the Beer Blast, I couldn't understand it as ALOT of fish are caught thru Oct. and into November, depending on location. Maybe they thought it would be unfair to more northern fisherman - Maine - if they left it open til Nov.1 or so as there season normally ends before that?

I fished the schafer tourney back in the day... I was younger then, back then all my fish were sold...Now I look at things differently, through older, wiser eyes... but.. to each their own....Everyone that fishes bass should experience the feel of a tourney at least once.

I havent knowingly killed a bass in 10 years now, doubt I ever will again, money and competition takes away from the thing I love more than anything else in the world....
