A friend an I were fishing from the boat the other night for Stripers, and we got to talking about the possession limit. The question is if we have 3 people on the boat, the 3rd person being a 5 year old kid, could we keep 6 fish or 4.

He thinks we could keep 6, but I think we could only keep 4 unless the 5 year old lands 2 of the fish, to make six total.

I am thinking if I am a DEP officer and I stopped us, I would ask the 5y ear old if he reeled in 2 fish.

What do you think? I read the full text of the regulations and couldn't discern the answer.
