Over 24000 Inches Safely Released In The Striper Cup Catch-and-Release Competition!
The Catch-and-Release Competition continues to heat up with the released fish growing in size and numbers. Fishermen from NJ to ME have been catching big numbers in all three categories and the leaderboard shows just how hot the bite is across New England.
Mike Benzinger from Seymour CT continues to impress with his huge total of 832 inches in the Shore division! Not far behind him is Joe Diorio with an impressive 793 inches in the Boat Division. Tom Fucini continues to add to his lead with 587 inches putting him 125 inches over his nearest competition!
With 11 weeks still to go in the season-long tournament it’s still any one’s competition!
To submit a fish, participants simply snap a picture with their smartphone or digital camera and submit the picture through our online form by the following Monday at noon. Up to three fish can be submitted by each angler each week. Along with the weekly drawing for Costa Sunglasses, contestants in each of the categories—boat, shore, and kayak—will draw at the end of the tournament for a Lowrance Fishfinder, Van Staal Reel, and Old Town Predator Kayak.
Plus, the anglers who total up the greatest number of inches in the shore, boat, and kayak categories will each receive Angler of the Year awards at the StriperFest on September 26 at Falmouth Harbor on Cape Cod.
With drawings happening every week, anyone can win at any time and it’s never too late to sign up and join in on the action! Sign up for the Striper Cup at StriperCup.com.
