I know this comment was not directed at me. However, no one in this thread has told anyone what they can and cannot do. All that several of us have tried to do was to supply some info so others would have a better understanding of stripers. A few like yourself seem to want to take this the wrong way or just stir things up.

Is it legal to catch and release stripers of any size right now? Yes. Is it recommended? No. Duayne spells out the reasons why not pretty well. From the reading I've done in various fisheries journals, he is 100% correct. Its posts like his that keep me reading the forums: I learn something.
