I am not sure how they do this - The striper season for maryland is mid may- catch and release the first week is what i read the regs........so if its catch & release only during that time , what are they going to do ? catch - weigh in - release at the dock - float belly up and die ?

I read that as "Spring Trophy Season" for the area where this tournament is being conducted.

I just wondered, I never catch/target stripers in the spring season at all. Too many other fish to go after to watse time on stripers. I chase stripers when they are the only fish around !! winter time :fishin:
