They took stripers across the land from N.J. via RR in 1879 and released an initial 133 in San Francisco Bay. A very interesting story. By 1899 they were netting a million pounds commercially from SF Bay. Considered one of the most successful fish introductions ever made. Would never happen in this day and age because of invasive species problems. Still think next world record will be fresh water caught, very close at this point. P.
