I would like to know how many of those 17" plus fish you guys throw back next year wind up being caught up in LI,RI,Mass etc. It seems the fish you throw back are being caught out east once they become keepers. The average size fish for NJ is 16 1/2" to 17 1/2". Just go back a few years ago when that was size fish that we were able to keep at a 8 fish limit & you got your limit. Now it's bragging rights for a 5 fish limit that's why I don't fish for them anymore it just not worth the time &effort & cash for 5 fish.
