I recently read an article about a sample of Smallmouth Bass taken from the Patomic River. They found that the male Smallmouths were developing egg row like the females. They attributed this annomily to a spike in estrogen levels in the river, probably due to malfunctioned sewer treatment facilties. Keep in mind the majority of Stripers run through the Hudson and East Rivers, Lord knows what they are exposed to. I'll chock this one up to environmental influeneces rather than genetics, but who knows. I've seen pictures of channel cats with there tails laying flat like a dolphins. I wonder if they ate that Striper...
