Spot on Jeff....Point well taken. I keep an occasional Striper or two for the table but release waaaaaaaay more than I keep. I usually do this in the early times of the year and again late in the Fall when the water temps will support catch and release much better. I do not pull bait and don't fish for Stripers in Cumberalnd during the warm water months. I catch them in the Ohio and release them but that is a different animal all together for the most part.

I mostly chase them ole Brown fish but I do love the Striper fishing and will try and support and help the conservation efforts in any way I can..
