In Maine stripers are a gamefish there is no commercial for them.We have a slot fish or trophy. 20 to 26 in or over 40 in.Only 1 fish per day.
The stripers are looked at as a stock. The arguement is that sportsmen can have 50% an comms can have up to 50%. we argue over who can have how much rather than how to keep both quality and number. Sustainable yeild is a joke. It's just another way to justify not doing anything positive for the fish.
