Man I was on the fence about signing up for the Cup.Now I'm glad I didn't.

Tournies for charity like the Chris Potts or Hab's are what its all about.The only winners are the families of those who died way before their time.

Anybody who has thought about fishing a competitive tournament will think twice after reading this thread.

After seeing the responses in this thread I'll never sign up for the Striper Cup ever again.

OOOOOO, basswipe!
i'm skeeeered now too!!
NOT!!!

well, if WE follow that irrational, then we should ALL withdraw
because of the alleged illegal actions of one LOSER!??!

ya gotta be sheeeting me, MAN!
one guy efff's up and NOW the whole Tourney is suspect, tainted,
not worthy of basswipe's participation. who gives a rat's arse??

have your opinion, no prob,,,,,,,,,,,,,

but to state that NOW everyone else should follow your position is somehwat grandiose, doan ya think? perhaps you didn't enter cuz you don't do so well when pitted against other high hookers? or, is the deadline thing too much pressh for ya? or, simply you don't like meat tourneys?

whichever, or for whatever reason, state it for what it is~~
but, to blame OTW and its signature event, or to just universally condemn tournament fishing sounds like someone with an axe to grind and it is not related to the case, in point, here! what's wrong bw, did they not deliver a coupla issues last year?


for me, the Striper Cup was a BLAST!!
i thought that it was very well run ~considering the scope and magnitude of such a HUGE event. LOVED the Team competition and the added excitement that comes with following the totals board, seeing who's won for which week, and checking for the angler of the year race ~~which was a tight one this season and very inspiring!! the added bonus is the big shindig that gets thrown next weekend on tha Hahbah to commemorate this 2008 Season, the HIGHS and the LOWS!!!



something tells me that the POSITIVES of this Year's Striper Cup
will far, faaaaar OUTWEIGH the negatives or the misgivings of the FEW

Huh?

Don't lay into me Dawg.That is my opinion.

Competative tournaments breed sh!thouse attitudes just like yours.I guess my opinion just don't count ,which is one that would rather fish for charity than personal profit.The effing prize don't mean sh!t,those that are helped mean everything.

PS Dawg where the FVck in my post did I state this:
"well, if WE follow that irrational, then we should ALL withdraw because of the alleged illegal actions of one LOSER!??!

ya gotta be sheeeting me, MAN!one guy efff's up and NOW the whole Tourney is suspect, tainted,
not worthy of basswipe's participation. who gives a rat's arse??"

I never mentioned the aformentioned violator anywhere in my post.I'm curious Dawg as to how you interpreted that I even had an opinion on the accused or the team he was involved in.Please explain.My only statement was is that I don't fish the type of tournament that this guy/team were involved in because IMO they suck.

News flash:USA=IMO.Deal.

So,according to you Dawg,fishing for charity must be lame.Did I interpret your opinion wrong?Probably not but that's how i see it.

Read between the quotes Dawg and then look at the studity(size) of this thread.

My opinion is valid and I'll damn well stand by it,I EARNED that right.You don't like it...then move on and don't reply dammit!

Really?

i hear ya, The Dad, just seems never and anybody are kindof absolutes,
and i just feel that ONE mommaluke does NOT a tourney make!!

i had a BALL, and would encourage ANYBODY to sign up for next year ~who was thinking about it!
you get a cooool shirt, a hat pin, and a discount on the subscription,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

what's BETTER than that? the PERFECT meat for grand prizes/schwag tournament does not exist, and this one got cleaned up in due process. good on ya, OTW!!
