Oh man that IS bad!!   
  
The fact is the CAN'T prove where they were caught, but the real problem is that neither can you!!  
  
It is actually illegal to even TARGET striped bass outside of 3 miles of the beach.  Therefore when practicing catch and release on the striped bass outside the 3 mile line you must "pretend" to be bluefishing if questioned by the man.  AND most importantly if you decide to cross the line, you'd better not have ANY fish in the box. 
  
Mac - when we talk about the 40 mile run, we are referring to going up and down the beach 40 miles (still within 3 miles of the beach) not going offshore 40 miles. 
  
Its a dumb law that alot of people are against.  I don't how that law helps a single soul.
