"The Boat caught its limit." If thats so . Six people on a charter boat 12 fish that's two per person. that's legal.

Two per person yes but they are not legal size.....way to small to keep.
They should be fined for keeping them little fish.

Two fish per day 19”-28” or one 19”-28” and one over 28”.
None of them are over 28” and doubt if they are 19”
None of them are over 28” and doubt if they are 19”

Yes those would be stripers on the west coast! They live in both salt and fresh water. Have caught them running up inlets in CA. And lake Havasu (Colorado River) has them as well.

That’s a shame, if this was a charter boat and he lets his customers keep undersized fish how many illegal ones a year do they kill and how many die if they release any if they do. Hope they nail them for this

There’s no point of reference to accurately judge the size. They may all be 19” or more. I have heard that the smaller ones taste better, but never ate one under 28”.
