There is a moral in this.

14 years to go from 15lbs to 40 lbs.

For those who plan to fish for large striped bass a decade from now, these 32-38" fish that are the predominant fish around now ARE OUR FUTURE. There is nothing behind them. Nothing. When they are gone, we are screwed. Even if a good year class shows up again, they will not become 40 lbers during the fishing lifetime of many of us.
