Landlocked striped bass are not hybrids, they just are landlocked. They do have significant trouble reproducing as described above. Therefore the stocking programs can be easily controlled. And the damage to a local ecosystem could be minimal if managed properly. The people calling foul over this one fish are cray cray. Yes, if you dropped 1000 of these in Candy maybe, but jeeze the cormorants are the ones you should be worried about....


Other than your use of that awful "cray cray" thing, you're spot on. Cormorants eat more bass and trout than a couple hundred stripers would.
