You can keep it as long as it is legal size for your state. Nj is 12"

That's not necessarily true...different states have different laws. I suggest getting in touch with your dow, dnr, or whatever wildlife agency is in NY.
I fish in NY alot - you can keep any catch 10 inches minimum caught within the season 3rd saturday in june through November 30th (with the exception of Bashakill marsh where the legal minimum is 12 inches and you may fish for Bass year round ) with a limit of 5 Bass per day

Usually the law that makes it difficult for people to keep natives, is something along the lines of no transporting live fish from the wild.
