To be fair to other clubs just keep the teams for various states to a set limit equivalent to most independent clubs. I bet when push comes to shove you`ll be surprised to see the small amount who will enter as a S-B member.... No offense intended.

Most of the clubs from Long Island have 40-50 members. I doubt we'd get that many from any one state here at s-b.

I not fishing for my club or myself. most of the keeper fish I caught and seen caught were all under 20 pounds, most were just keepers, the fisherary is still in trouble. seems to me people are happy throwing back 27 inch fish, most fish caught after 29 inches are getting taken. I don't know anyone at on the water, but it seens there forgeting the sportman part of the sport, would bassmaster ever do this in freshwater? seems that striper reform has stalled at 28 inches and everyone seems ok with it. I hate to think stripers will end up like a put and take fishery, insted of stocking them we let them breed and at 28 there gone.just my 2 cents. ed

Well we went through this several times over.The folks at OTW have made some changes to the rules.Under the new rules the tournament does seem more fish friendly.An well beneath the limits u can take by law.Comparing 12" bass to 20 lb stripers kept alive is apples an watermelons, really.U have the right not to partake an that is fine.thanks for ur input.looking for both sides of the coin here.
