I'm pretty sure there isn't an easy or simple answer to this, but what is the best way to pursue making stripers game fish on the entire east coast? I know some states recognize them as such, but not others. Do they have to be recognized federally or is it a state-by-state battle -- or both?

Weren't Red Drum in this same kind of trouble and now recognized as game fish?
