Also, I don't think that 40 pounds is a really good benchmark for determining that a striper is some sort of Uberbass with superior genes. Luck plays a big part in a fish growing that big--if that fish was 6" to one side when it was a schoolie, the osprey might have snatched it instead of the one it did--genes or no genes. What the hell do genes have to do with avoiding getting encircled in some North Carolinian's haul seine? Basically, I think any female bass is capable of growing to 40 pounds.

Maybe when you get to 60 pounds, you have a case for superior genes.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
