My brother and I fished in the Raritan Bay, NJ yesterday, and caught our first stripers of the year. The biggest was 36" that weighed 24 lbs., 37" that weighed 26 lbs., and 24" that weighed10 lbs. We caught 10 big ones, but could only keep three that are listed because they had a 28-38" slot limit.
