OTW Striper Cup

Does SB.com have a team this year?

Just curious.

No. I can't justify it in the face of a further declining fishery. Hopefully that can change but I don't see it happening for a while.

I wish the decision was more difficult to make but the fishery sucks.

I am a big fan of OTW, because of the people, magazine and the show. They are nice and mean well.

However, I have to agree, it's time to stop the tourny or make it 100% C&R.

The tourney should have stopped before it started. Many of us voiced that through emails and subscriptions. It will stop if others make the call like John did. Best way to stop the tournament is if hardly anyone enters.

No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.

Great replys here. I agree with all. Maybe a
polite email to OTW is in order.
