THE STRIPER CUP LEADER BOARD

[QUOTE=Skitterpop]I bet they go out an pound us again next year with no com's allowed just to make a point.



I agree 100%
Face it, these guys know how to catch BIG fish year in year out !!!

NIB hit the nail on the head. Those are my thoughts exactly. I just can't say it as good. You know that to win now, you are going to need 40#+ fish. So go cull through 30 fish until you get a 40#er. The only difference is you are throwing them back, they are throwing them in the tote. People cry like if they could keep 30 fish they would have 40 and 50 lb. fish to enter.
These guys are just way better fishermen.

I say congrats to them, and if any of them are reading this, I will pay gas money and use of my boat for a mentor.

I have no doubt those guys are way better fishermen and have proven ways to catch (live bait, yo-yo...or whatever) and probaly would win regardless of having a comm license..........so why not change the rules to no comms can weigh in during comm season???
I loose Sept and Oct....my real chance at a good fish and Im sure the same for a lot of surf guys
also I could give a rats a$$......I fish for fun....entered just in case and maybe win the boat
never claimed to be a GENIUS....last time I checked ...wasnt a LADY...and think Im older than 5............if any of that was directed at me...I take offense

Agian not whinning I don't care but FACTS and numbers are what they are. I just thought the tournament was a good thing but do not see it going any where with this type of set up. I think the guys at On The Water did a great job to bring this about but I can't get past the numbers. So I guess I will not bother next year so I will not be accused of whinning. Or I could get all my com. buds to sign on to S.B .com as I am sure they would if asked. But then it would not be us would it.

No clue, but no point in argueing the fact

[Skitterpop]

I just wanted to say hi to everyone Good debate and no holds barred stuff.

Just called six of my customers that are com. guys and asked if they would sign up for S-B and all said yes. All these guys have fish in the 40+50# range so far this year and will get many more till they stop fishing com. What do you think should we go for it???? If so then take my name out of the club division .

I just don't see it as being that big of an issue. guys that are going to catch large are going to catch large regardless of how many fish they can keep.

and for the record im jealous as hell of the guys, any guys that consistently catch fish in the 40-50 lb class comm or rec. i put in a lot of time and catch a handful of fish a year in the 30 lb class. and no matter how hard i try and where i fish and the time i put in i haven't been able to nab a 40 or a 50 yet.

maybe i need a boat

I applaude the guy that can do it - comm or rec - and hope that some day down the road enough good knowledge will finally sink in my skull that I can be one of those guys.

This is just about the math....

Was not directed at u slinga so don't go get ur panties in a bunch.

neccessary To make my point so I deleted em.Sorry.

• Angler’s are allowed to enter and weigh only one (1) fish per week.
• Fish must be at least 34 inches in length to weigh in.
• Fish must be weighed at a registered weigh station sanctioned by the tournament.


• By signing the weigh-in slip, the fisherman attests to all information given.

Sounds to me like once that fish hits the scale, you're stuck with that fish for the week.

The Derby rules are a little different--or were before the state went to 2 bass a day. You could enter the heaviest bluefish, albie or bonito of the day, but only one bass a day. In other words, if you went to the weigh-in with a 12 pound blue in the morning, you could enter a 14 pounder in the evening. Same with a bonito. However, when the bass limit was one per day, you could only weigh in one a day. A fish was considered to be "entered" when you presented it to the weighmaster and announced your badge number and division (boat or shore, or fly rod boat or shore). I haven't fished it since Mass went to the 2 bass bag, so I don't know how it works now. I'm assuming you can enter two a day, with only your heaviest counting.

I agree we are all friends here having a normal conversation right?
Sometimes I lose track of that.
