I am under the impression that there are not that many "over 34 inchers" that are caught on Priest. I don't have any statistics, anecdotal or empirical, to support my supposition. Just general conversations about the dearth of big stripers in JPP.

The enforcement of the catch and release portion is just the same as all the other regs in the book. It would be up to the individual fisherman to police themselves.

Any guides on the lakes would be required to impose those regulations on themselves and their clients under the honor system they should all be following now.
