My Bro in Portsmouth recently.

That one is his right hand looks a little short....unles it's a Maine fish.

Yup, well north side of the Pisc. Thats were he works and all edable.

:rolleyes: woulda thrown the shorttie back...don't need striper that bad

The small one is about the size of the bait I've been using. :D

:hs:

state to state regs should really be goal for the striper lobyists

No need to bash people for following the law where they are from. If you would'nt take em thats fine, keep it to yourself.

There's been a lot of discussion lately about the catch and release survival rate of fish and there seems to be good points on both sides of the issue. The smaller fish unfortunetly had been hooked poorly and we thought the survival of said fish didn't look promising, so in the cooler it goes. Typically it probably would've been released, but in my opinion with the shape this fish was in, why waste it? Perhaps throw it back in just to catch a larger one? I could never understand when cod fishing you catch a shorty after hauling it up from 200 ft. of water, guts hanging out of its mouth and it has to go back. Waste of fish imo. Maybe keep the first two stripers caught, regardless of size and go home? Just a thought :gf:
