FYI... I have never kept a striper for my self, I catch and release all my own stripers and all my salmon unless they will not make it(salmon). My gram loves it when i bring one home for her, she doesn't know that i dont do it on purpose but thats ok, its the thought. For charters i have strict rules on my boat for salmon and i intend to keep it that way. My clients all had families of their own and were have fish BBQ's for them and that is why they kept 2 per person, their legal limit, i respect peoples thoughts about the fisheries and wish you all the best of luck!!
