That said, Maine's slot limit is ridiculous and failed at accomplishing any sort of conservation.
Maine's overall Striper mortality INCREASED significantly when the slot was implemented. I'll argue all day long its the antithesis of conservation, and if implemented coastwide would destroy the Striper population.

FYI ME's slot limit was not designed to reduce the catch, it was supposed to be "conservationally equivalent" to the "normal" 2 fish at 28 inches.
