Jimbo- You should be carefull in making quick judgement. Yes there are some people catching and keeping undersized stripers. It happens every day.
Also some States such as Florida allow the catching of smaller stripers to be sold mostly year round. And I'm sure that the State keeps tabs on them fish stores. Stores have to be licenced to sell stripers and proof of origin.
Was eating in Boston this past winter and the restaurant had stripers on the menu. Knowing the law I ask the waiter and he imediately went to ask and came back and explained that they came from Florida.
