Re: STRIPER reg by state
No real angler would want to take home a cow for the table versus two 'smaller' keepers...but the way I see it the new regs are basically forcing guys paying a lot of money to go out saltwater fishing to keep a cow if they catch one. Well, not forcing, but you know what I'm saying. Hopefully most guys can resist keeping the cows like you.
I personally think all game fish should have a slot where basically you can keep however many determined fish in a range from current minimum to a few inches up and then have a range that can never be kept (the 'big' fish) and then open the slot for trophies. I think that's fair to everyone and will help grow monsters in our fisheries, fresh and salt.
