I have answwered this question at least a dozen times during various interviews. I thjink it is simple.
1...SB are the perfect fish. They attract all types of fishermen. they are good eating, they are good sport fish, they can be caught by many different sub groups of Rec angler (boat, shore, fly, light tackle, live bait, troll, plug, jig, etc. etc.). SB fit most anglers needs.
2...Most of the very active anglers grew up with the comeback of the sock. We have a built in passion for these fish that just doesn't apply to other species.
