Undersize Stripers

[Duke41]

they did not have broken strips. I am going to go back tommorow and take a picture.

I would bet that these are legal wild stripe bass. The Maryland season is presently open and the minimum size is 18". Maryland had to close the gill net season on 1/11 because they were catching so many fish it was depressing the price. It reopens on 1/18.

Which makes you wonder whether the method being used is so good
or the numbers of fish are the reason they are catching so many.
