As you can see, the striper controversy is spreading. The most dangerous comments involve a favorable nod toward a moratorium. It's very obvious that the huge numbers of "big girls/cows" have dwindled lately, yet there are still lots of small fish in the surf and rivers every year. That is encouraging. The decision seems to be about size versus numbers/quality versus quantity. The fishing community has to decide, before others do it for us.

I'm usually catch and release unless I don't think the fish has a chance, that's my own rule I impose on myself, especially in the spring. I can see the other side of it though where people want to be able to have the choice to keep or not.
Hope there is a middle ground somewhere that allows for the species to rebound and let people keep a couple for the dinner table.
