We have some good sized stripers in the St John's River.
We also have these fish the state stocks called Sunshine Bass. They are a cross between a white bass and a striper. They cannot breed. They get big in a hurry, and will outfight a largemouth every day of the week. I've causht quite a few of them in Lake Manatee. People there just call them stripers.
We were at the marina this summer and a guy came in at about 2am in a 13 foot boston whaler. He was dragging a fish. Turned out to be what we figured to be a 150 pound tuna!!! I asked him if he was the Old Man in the Sea! He said the thing dragged him around for hours. Hard to find a place to take a fish like that at 2am!!!
