Uh, the real question here is, Mike, how do you know about all the "shady" ways to win? Come on Mikey, fess up. You seem to be in possesion of a lot of this type of knowledge.

What I like most about the discussion here is that most everyone actually read the rules before they expressed their opinion.

I wish I could say the same about some other websites

i could see OTW awarding club points for the weight pins, ie 1 point for a 30 lb. pin, 3 for a forty lb. pin and ten for a fifty. The downside is that this would encourage the killing of the trophy fish, the upside would be less pressure to bring in the 34 inch fish for the club total. Again, not perfect, but....
I am finding myself in the camp of Big Dave in regards to keeping fish. I have stated before that I feel the SB stock is in good shape. I also started a thread called A Different Point of view that was from the perspective of the commercial lobstermen and how the lack of food for SB has drastically affected their livelihood. http://www.striped-bass.com/Stripert...ght=point+view
