I've fished Maine for Stripers for the past 20 or so years. Unless they've changed it from last year you can keep 1 striper a day between 20 and 26 inches OR 1 "trophy" over 40 inches. This works well with me. I keep 2 or 3 fish all season in the 26" size and the fillets off one fish are perfect for feeding 3 or 4 people.
As far as the circle hook fishing goes...I get it, but I much prefer setting the hook. Out of every 20 fish I hook with a j hook I probably do gut hook one or two. If it helps, I'm for it, but I'll miss the set.
