OTW "Striper Cup Tourney" Format is Irresponsible to the Fishery

Isn`t it very clear that I am undecided? It is for me.

If they change it so tons of Stripers are not killed needlessly I`ll enter... if not I won`t and I`ll call, write, email, and post my opinions.

And............ most of the suggestions made to how to change the numbers I made early on when many didn`t say peep or that they would enter without question. At the same time I`ve been back and forth and conflicted but bottom line worried about too many Striped Bass being killed.

Respectfully,

The world does not need another reason to kill striped bass, particularly the large spawners. This tournament is short sighted and irresponsible. "Recreating the past" is best left to politicans and old rock stars. On the Water could, and should, do much better for the resource we all have to share.

NIB.... i could,nt say it better myself ...the other rag does the samething .in i have yet to see PETA at there front door

That other rag keeps a weekly tally at the back of the magazine, that way you know what size fish you would need to beat.


I like the idea of limiting people to so many fish over the life of the tournament.

Although maybe taking a big chunk of the population may not be a bad thing, considering that their food sources are not as plentiful as they should be.
