I don't think anyone intended to be elitist here, but many of us are gravely concerned about the state of the striper, thus it pains us to see the future of the fishery being mistreated and disrespected.
Nothing wrong with catching some schools for fun, but no need to beat the snot out of 100 just to pad your log numbers.
Treat the lil guys with respect by using single barbless hooks, over matched tackle to keep the fight short to reduce stress to the fish, and release them gently and nonone will give you he'll.
And those little guys and gals will return the favor by spawning more bass for the future.
