I eat 10 times as many blue claws as I do stripers in any year.
Just kidding Bloo.
Seriously, what's wrong with a coastwide standard of one fish 36 inches and larger? That should help the aforementioned stocks/classes, and it eliminates the confusion for anglers who cross state lines to enjoy their favorite pastimes.
In any case I'm 100% catch and release with stripers now, unless my family wants me to bring some fish home. I think there are better tasting white meat fish. Like blue crabs. Oops, I gotta stop doing that.
