There is no trophy tag in NJ, but in place of a commercial fishery they have a striped bass bonus program for recreational anglers which allows tag holders a single additional fish between 24 and 28 inches.
Toby, I am seeing fish much bigger than 38" being posted on FB. One guy in particular posted a 51" this morning. Fish was dead and hanging in front of a tackle shop.

No boat, back in the suds.
