What state or condition must a striper be in.... when we transport it to the car for the ride home?

Can it be bled?
Can it be gutted?
Can it be de-scaled?

If the fish meets the legal length requirements, we should be able to bleed, gut and descale it.....right??

Where does one find the correct and legal answers to questions like these?

I was told years ago, that you had to take it home intact, meaning you coudn't gut/bleed or de-scale it...not sure though.
