Hook and line licenses in rhody are practically impossible to acquire and you need to be a resident of RI. Mass is a free for all. The seasons typically don't run concurrently as rhody is usually filled in early June before Mass opens. Rhody sometimes opens for an additional week in september if there is any unused quota to be filled.
Mass should be resident only IMO. That's the biggest issue I have with the way its handled.
As far as catching in one state and selling in another, you'd be foolish to risk it if its your livlihood, although I'm sure it happens.

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind
