Always thought it might get our poacher's attention if more gear was seized. Might also make for a good annual auction.

I don’t know Jag, there was a thread on here a while back where several posters felt some guys should have been shot for exceeding the limit on crappie. Those fast reproducing fish are serious business.

Well, we can rest well knowing the fish cops are protecting the fish.

Theoretical question on slot limit fish. You’re trolling and one that’s 1” under the slot hammers your plug. You get him to the boat and measure him, when doing so you realize he’s bleeding like a stick pig and you ripped two of his gills when you set the hook after he inhaled the bait. He ain’t going to make it, not a chance. Is the right thing to do to toss him overboard to become a floater or count him toward your limit and discreetly filet him back home and enjoy eating him?
I know what the right thing to do is to my mind and I’m a big proponent of C&R.

Striper is good eating btw. Oily if the salt version is anything like the stocked lake fish. Lots of lake fish are much better. I do eat the whites (great table fare) and hybrids. I give the stripers away.

Here on the east coast, they’re excellent eating but we don’t eat them until they travel down River to the salt

Just joking brother! Happy 4th! I learned my lesson as a kid when camped by Grandads pond. Man, those polywogs were freaking bad. Big fat blues off the lake at LaGrange are hard to clean enough fat off to eat or I need instruction from Jeff. High fin blues off Sam Rayburn are unreal good. I'm thinking only Germans drink warm beer. Well, and Roger.

They're ocean run stripers here. They come up the river to spawn then head back down through the Golden Gate. Not oily at all IMHO. A lot like rock cod.
I've never eaten a lake striper.

Who needs that hassle? Not worth it to me. Just another instance of what's legal isn't necessarily what's moral. I hated to unhook Canary's off the coast just to watch them turn into Seagull food, but who needed the grief from the possum sheriffs. At least now you can keep 'em. Mostly...
