With a handicap like the one you enjoyed for that victory the tournament was over before it started.

Did not see a large fish from the boat last year at all. Last year was probably the slowest boat year I've seen in 15 years.
I am with the 40-45 inch minimum for entrance.
It's a shame we couldn't do a C&R tournament, but that is something that is too prone to 'influence' that I just don't see it happening.

Bill are you talking about yourself or the Striper Cup? There were a bunch of really large fish, 50 plus lbs., caught in the boat division last year. Not by our group but by some of the others. |

Me, I was following you around. Those large were early season fish right part of the same push that had the 75 and 70+ out of Jude?
Can't say that there were a lot of large during commercial, most of the Westport fleet struggled off of Nomans through the end of the season. |

You didn't think I was going to show you my good spots did you? You would need night vision for that. |

...for the sake of humility, perhaps the handicap should be abolished !
would the surf division be as dominant ? |

You're right Chris, but they did address the issue fairly, IMO.
If they lower the ratio to 1.15 its still fair. Any lower and the boaters have the advantage. Schaeffer was 1.15 and the contest went for many years and was always competitive. |

You're kidding, right chris.
we weren't the only team that year that was dominated by surf caught fish. every team in the top 5 I believe were surf oriented teams
I agree, boat dominated teams had no shot that year....but to say that WE won specifically because of the handicap rule is wrong.......If I remember correctly....NIB'S jersey suf team and us went down to the last week |
