I agree with many of the above comments. Quantity, Size, and/or slot restrictions are welcome Proposed regulatory changes to protect this important game fish. It's nice to see the DEC being quasi proactive with this species and taking more conservative measures to effect positive change on the Northern population.
Also, agree with min size increase...... 18" seems a bit small...... From a logical perspective, Come on!!!! Cleaning an 18 inch northern is not on my list of favorite things to do, lol.
Maybe in a few years NY will be the trophy northern destination in the US?[emoji229][emoji6]
