I think that too many fish in the 30-42 inch range are being kept throughout New England. As stated before, these people are simply taking advantage of what the law allows. There are more people striper fishing today than there were in years past. Many novice anglers take the term "keeper" literally. If I had a commercial license in Mass, I could have made about 250 bucks for a night of fishing Monday. The laws need to be changed and based on good research, not the wants of the rod and reel commercials and the charter captains.
