If you look at the definition of daily creel limit in the anglers guide it seems to indicate that a fish caught and released is included in the creel limit. If I catch and release 2 28 inch stripers and catch and keep 2 30 inch stripers, what is my daily creel?

Daily Creel Limit: The quantity or number of fish of a species or species group that can be taken by an individual angler during the period from 12:01a.m. to midnight. Any species taken to the contrary must be returned immediately, without avoidable injury, to the waters from which it was taken.
