Mass Slot Limit?
...Last night at the Mass/Bass meeting they mentioned a "slot" limit for stripers...
..somewhere along the lines of 1 fish > 28 inches and above....and your second fish, having to be 40+ inches...I believe he said, they want to try and get all the N.E. states on the same page.
...I know I heard or read somewhere that the healthiest "spawns" happen in fish that are 30-40 inches long...the "prime" of the fishs' life. Can anyone provide "factual" link-age to support or condemn this hear-say?
...there were mixed thoughts on the subject last night..
Someone brought up a good point at the meeting. They said, if you want dinner...and you land a 29 inch striper, you'd be able to keep that 50 pounder if you kept on fishing...rather than have to either go home after you landed the 29incher...which could happen ten minutes into your trip or toss back that 50 pounder because you already had your "keeper".
An opposing thought was...twice as many fish would be kept...thus hurting the stock.
What are your ideas on this??..
