Is there NO “trophy striper” (often called “Rocks’ or “Rockfish”, elsewhere) law there??
Even in MD there is such a law that allows ONE huge striper of ANY size to be taken per licensed angler each calendar year.
(I landed, weighed, measured, photographed & released my “BIG Cow Rock”, as she was full of eggs in 2006.- I doubt that I will ever land another Rock anywhere near that size. = I fought her for over 30 minutes on a light, 7 foot, popping rod & 20# test mono, before we got her into the net.)
The “BIG Rock” on the “den wall” (next to the framed MD “Governor’s Citation” certificate) at our beach-house is a carefully made fiberglass & hand-painted replica of my “Big Girl”.

The State has adopted a slot limit and no trophy catch is allowed -Tom
