I'm no authority on any of this, I just know what I have seen over the years growing up but to me, stripers are an uncommon and sometimes rare fish to catch (boat are not) depending on the year. I always thought something was wrong.
To me, wouldn't it make sense to just make Stripers a catch and release only type fish? This way the fisherman can still fish them and they still have the chance to grow. Wouldn't the mortality rate of foul hooking be much lower than what we see now along with the select population of idiots keeping the fish until they get slammed with a fine?
