a buddy of mine vacationed in RI a few years back and I let him borrow a bluefish set up so he could have fun with his kids. The blues were running the beaches every night. When he gave it back to me, he said he caught a bunch and that the striped bass were delicious. I was suprised he caught stripers and asked him how big - he said a little over a foot. So - here is case of someone totally ignorant keeping short bass. Now I should have told him that they needed to be 28 inches but it never crossed my mind. A friendly heads up by another fisherman would been enough for him to throw them back.
and for the record - I agree w/Numbskull 100%
