Here is a NJ limit!
Reds, Mass had a bill to make striped bass a gamefish this year too.

Look at the numbers and sizes of rec fish caught in Mass, they lead the states in big fish caught.
NJ's bonus rec fish is counted against the total Striped Bass commercial quota, even though there is no commercial harvest in NJ.
Anyway, my first post in this thread had nothing to do with commercial harvest.
There is a very, very large contingent of recreational fisherman who don't want to see the spring season bothered. And I don't mean charter people.
