This is rediculous! Not too long ago there was a thread about cheating in tourneys. This is why I stated why I cant stand them. Jealousy, rumors, cheating, backstabbing and a whole lot of petty drama.

Assuming the rest of the team still pulls off the win it should be theirs to celebrate (minus the bad apple of course). Though its apparent they will be guilty by association and rumors.

i have to wholeheartedly, and with much RESPECT, disagree!!

there is NO TAINT to Team Striper's WIN!!

one guy cheated, HE was removed from their totals,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
LEGITIMATE points were/will replace the illegitimate ones
and we and The Cup moves on. only those, mostly non-participants angling to justify their non-entry,
seem to be the most effected by the unfortunate choices by a slime-ball poacher. i could care LESS, and i salute Team Striper as a whole unit and will not misrepresent them ~or the Tounament~ by the misbehavior of ONE crumb-bum!

nor, should we assume that Team Striper would not have won!
this does not mean that THEY ALL cheated! those guys would've won this year without Bradshaw's
ill-gotten stripeys, and they feeshed their tails OFF, and they deserve to SIP, PISS, RAISE The Cup high,
hold it for the year, and do whatever the heck they want to do to IT ~~ until WE WREST it from their "pro" hands next season.

simply, CHEERS Team Striper!!! and CONGRATS
on a well fished and well deserved WIN!!!


besides we still had the Angler of the Year, and
I predict the Trifecta for next year:

The Cup, Angler of the Year, & Catch of the Year!!

You and I are actually agreeing. please read my post again. If you misinterpreted my words than I am sorry I wasnt clear enough. I DO think their win should stand as long as their next biggest LEGAL fish still puts them in #1 spot. And I never said they all cheated just because one person did. when I said they would be "guilty by association and rumors" it was because some stated already that other team members may have been aware of the cheating......is that not assuming guilt by association or rumor?

Personally I have witnessed cheating in the past in tournaments and so my opinion has been formed that there is always the POSSIBILITY for cheating in any tournament.Therefore thats why I dont believe in them. It is sad, yes. They should be fun but I have seen it turn to this one too many times and just cant stomach it. Is it really worth it?
