Look at bass pro shops for example A huge multi million dollar business owned privately... a business built on LMB fishing and hunting. Largemouth are found in just about if not all states in america.. striped bass are only on the east coast, california and southern oregon. Ok.. some small areas have land locked hybrid stripers.. but my point is that in this country there may be 15 million people who fish for LMB every year. The striped bass fishery is a fraction of that. Sure there are large tackle manufactures who market to LMB and stripers who are huge and could afford to sponsor someone or give prize money to the next world record holder, but the fact is this- they know that the real cash cow is LMB and that is where they focus their advertising money and sponsorships.. and as PaulS said... look at how many LMB fishing shows there are compared to striped bass fishing shows... there is no comparison.
