NJ has voted on and approved option 2:
May 2 - Sep 27 .... 2 slots between 17 and 17.99 and 1 over 18
Opinion: 2 fish to fit inside a 1" slot coupled with inevitable high grading for that single over 18 - could be recipe for trouble.... although the party boats will enjoy it...

Green Sunfish, considered invasive in some states. Why is it invasive? The main advantage that the green sunfish has over other fishes is its large mouth and ability to consume a wide variety of prey. Green sunfish will prey on the young of other fish species and quickly grow in numbers, while...
