How many little stripers will have their jaws ripped up by jigs this April when they first arrive? "I got 50 fish today! woo hoo!"
....and another thing,say the comm. limit is X pounds of stripers ...if they had to keep ALL stripers until the X limit is reached instead of shoveling dead "shorts" overboard and fishing until X was reached with a certain length fish ,a lot more stripers would live to breed later.
