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.
