Not to open a can of worms, but I wonder if these guys would have kept these big fish if the tourney didn't exist?

2012 Striper Cup Weigh Ins

Official "kill report" of last years cup. Starting at 13.8 lbs.....Seems OTW has some responsibility to at least try to discourage entering fish that have no shot at winning. How is a 13 lbs fish even legal length?

OTW is just another industry exploiting the fishery.

They could easily come up with a better way to do it. They weigh stations should be able to post up the weight the day the fish was weighed. And the board would be updated immediately rather than a month later. And anyone who weighs a smaller fish than the top leaders could be penalized. Doesn't make sense to have such a huge contest and have the most outdated method of running a leaderboard

I like how in the RI fishing report they mention that they hope people are letting the 50's go, meanwhile they sponsor a kill tournament. They can't have it both ways. Totally hypocritical.

This is the kind of BS that keeps me away from the boards these days. If you're gonna call someone out you'd best be prepared to put the same effort into an apology.

What should I apologize for I never questioned the fish it was weighed in and I was obviously aware of that in the beginning. I thought the pic was screwed with before they posted it and thought it looked bad.

I saw a picture of you and thought the same thing. Then I realized the pic was fine and you're just hideous looking.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
