Taylor has been told by OTW he is not eligible to compete in the cup this year. He has a job in the industry which is deemed a conflict.This certainly leaves a hole in the lineup for our crew but RudeBoy seems ready to grasp the reins.From what I have witnessed recently he has displayed competence and desire to get the job done.It also gives SB some hope to get the cup back.Hopefully it will prevent any more whining from those unfortunate enough to think they could dethrone him for angler of the year.Then again,maybe the whining played a part in OTW's decision.I always believed to be the best,you have to beat the best.

Bickering and whining.....not to mention cheating! Thats why I don't register for that crap anymore.....it just ain't fun!! Enjoy!

Anyone holding a commercial license should be ineligible as well......but thats just one guys opinion!

Being angler of the year doesn't mean your the best. Too many guys don't participate in the Cup to earn that title but I'm disappointed that Rob can't participate. If we did manage to finagle a Cup victory it would be a shame to do it without topping a Team Striper at full strength.

There are 2 dozen guys who don't post here that could be angler of the year EVERY year. Some guys don't care to be internet heros!

How are the guys that win Angler of the Year trying to be internet heros?

And I wouldn't discredit those who have won in the past. They are really good fishermen who consistently catch big fish, year after year. Getting a 50 and several forties in a season from the surf is no easy task....

In all honesty - from the surf, are there that many guys last year that took a true 50 and multiple high 40s last year??? I'm out there quite a bit, and breaking 40 every year from the surf is quite an accomplishment...

hey Chris

thanks for the heads up about Rob~~~

and that is a point well taken, it won't be the same without
Rob's angling prowess,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,but surely your TEAM is not
all Rob, all the time. besides if the Rudemeister stays in the Gifted One's hip pocket, he should do VERRRRY well.

you fishin' yet, me bruddah?? still a bit early for the OTHER Cape,,,,,,,,

Thats unfortunate RT isn't able to fish for the Cup. He certainly deserves to compete for it.

Chris - had to put in a new smiley for you:

It makes sense that anyone employed by a sponsor not be allowed to participate in the Cup. Might make sense also not to allow anyone in the cup that is also employed at a weigh station not be allowed to weigh at that shop (that may in fact already be a rule but I am too lazy right now to go check). That is how most contests/competitions are run. Chris, let Rob know if he wants to fish the cup that bad we can trade jobs and I'll drop out.
