So all you guys hammering the stripers day in and out are the cause for the slower striper seasons as of late.

This is pure fact. You can't blame the commercial fishery on this at all.

Fish over 45lbs eggs start to lose viability. By the time a striper is pushing 50lbs their eggs in most, are not viable.

So throwing back 50lb fish really does nothing.

I mostly agree, but there was a 24"-28" slot for years. And fishing was very good in those years.

What years? All I remember was 1 at 36" and one year they even raised it to 38" for a few months, then what you have seen in the last 15years or so.

I will go fish for any specie!!! even i the limit is 1/2 a fish. It is in my blood to fish. Sad to see things like this because we all know if it does not change our kids will never know what it mean to go fishing and enjoy a fresh cooked fish dinner!!! I do not condone breaking the rules but sometimes a man has to do what he has to do!!! Raise the pirate flag!! arg arg arg!!!

I enjoy striped bass season....the bottom fishing boats have more room at the rail this time of year! In all seriousness I would still go if it was limited to one.

I would certainly still fish for them just as much.
