how do you measure a striper

Ok seeing that all I do is work and have only been fishing 4 times this year, Fish are safe


This is the correct way

Before the moratorium it was tip of nose to fork in tail along the center of the body

After the moratorium the term keeper was adopted and it is from the tip of the nose to the tip of the tail squeezed together to make it longer.

Always across the body of the fish.
