Nope...

Dealers need to have tags with origin of state and comply with that states regulations. Only during the MA commercial season all dealers regardless of what state the fish came from have to follow MA commercial regulations until the quota is reached plus 5 days.

It opens July 12th and say on July 31st the quota is reached and the season is closed.. All striped bass from other states bought have to follow the MA regulations up until August 5th.
