Which ones? Lots of different "stripers." There's a "striper" here in the lakes of Illinois that some call white bass. Caught a lot of them, but they don't bet much bigger than a nice crappie. They are a white bass/striper hybrid and generally grow up to double the size of a good crappie - generally in the 1/2 to 3/4 pound range. Very durable fish and when younger, prolific breeders which makes them also a feed stock for other types of game fish. Then I've heard of hybrids in the impoundments out west that are supposed to be good fighters, and get pretty big. Those are salt water transplants and are genetically identical to salt water stripers. Depending on the size of the impoundment, they can get as big as salt water stripers given proper forage and cool water. Ocean stripers too. I'm confused now. Well, you aren't now. :) biggest striper ever out here was caught in San Luis Reservoir. Fresh water fed from the Sacramento Delta. Gets lots of stripers pumped down the aquaduct to San Luis and other lakes all the way to Los Angeles. Was 55+ pounds from what I remember. The stripers spawn in fresh water. |
