Thats amazing my dad used to tell me stories of the stripers they would catch in the hudson in Yonkers yrs ago.I remember being a kid a thinking no way.It was real dirty then..Thay have some fishery up there.Thats amazing weights for a 2 day event.They could have seasonal events that would have a real hard time competing with that..Anybody in the striper cup should be happy they don't form a team..
