The striper cup and other striped bass kill tourneys - what is the point!

[clamchucker]

I will never participate in a tourney any more because of this reason. I do not weigh in fish any more because of it either. In my younger years I have killed a lot of bass and entered the tourneys. I do not see the glory in in at this point in my life. I wish they could encourage catch and release as you hoped for surferman. As finchaser said, I do not think it is realistic.

If they want to ban something it should be tourneys and the clubs that still have weigh in tourneys should wake up.

A lot of the shark tourneys now have some part of them as C&R. If its not a certain size it goes back immediately. They should try to do that with all tourneys. Responsible thinking for the future and all that stuff. my .02
