depends on your message, and who you want to here it.

if your message is make it a gamefish, then yes. If its one at 36" or some other criteria, then not necessarily. I'm a proponent of 1 @ 36" and I impose that limit on myself now. I still fish the striper cup and do not feel bad about it. Also, you have to remember that alot of the fish in the striper cup, especially the larger ones, are commercial caught fish that are being taken with or without the striper cup.

boycotting the striper cup with send a message to OTW, not the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission or any other regulatory agency
