Actually, you can use a stringer if the fish is dead. Cut the throat to bleed it, and you can keep it fresh in the water. The law prohibits keeping a live bass on a stringer:

"It shall be unlawful to keep striped bass alive in the water by attaching a line or chain to the fish or placing the fish in a live well or holding car."

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
