Striper Cup 2007

I have no problem with the comms fishing the tournament. Was anyone in the top 5 a comm guy anways? I've said this before but I couldn't see any comm guy weighing a large fish verse selling it. I would never consider weiging in a 40lb fish to get a pin rather than 120$.

I was never involved in clubs or contests in my life. My drive was always in catching fish to sell, which I don't do very often now. About five years ago I entered my first vineyard derby and had a blast. As for the Striper Cup, I wasn't going to enter last year, but finally did in early July. Like I said, fishing is fun, but incentivizing it for me gives me something to focus on and give a little bit extra effort. It got me out on the water many nights when I would have normally hit the snooze button. Bottom line is I love competition, and America loves a winner.

I agree w/ NIB, the format needs work. If they make some of the changes that BackBeach outlined I would be happy to enter.
Right now its skewed, it sucks to be a top 5 competitor and get nothing or worse beat out by boat guys who are always gonna place. You cant compare 150lbs from the boat vs the surf and its not right to have to compete w/ them.
As for comms, I dont think it makes a difference
