That’s the regulation for this year’s change next year again.Seems as though they change every year depending on the spawn cycle.

as with all regs - they're getting more limiting. I'd like to see circle hooks made mandatory - less gut hooks - better survival rate for catch & release.

Fish management is good for all if rules are obeyed. I think the blame should be on the charter captain this angler couldn’t of know the size limit and post a picture like this my guess is 50% of those fish are shorts I think I’m being generous with that they look like the size fish you would catch with wire line towing frames most should of been throw backs unfortunately not

Circle hooks are mandatory in Maryland if using live bait for rockfish.

If that is indeed a 5 gallon bucket I could see where a couple may have been legal

The Stripers we caught in Chesapeake Bay were sea going also and get much bigger. We caught one at the bay tunnel bridge that had been tagged three years prior as a juvenile in a NC river he weighed in at 38 lbs.

They do look to be Stripers but they are juveniles. He did say that was the boats limit we don't know how many were on the boat. Everywhere I've ever been the limit is two per person per day.

Remember the tittle of the picture : " The boat caught its rock fish limit within 2 Hours " So there may be 6 people or more on the boat . in Virginia the legal size now is 17" . 2 per day . Everything is legit to me
