It all depends on the bias of the reports I research. The only things I've learned with great efficiency in this hobby is that, after 40+ years, I still have alot to learn.
 
Nice fish in the boat and tatoo. I going to get one this winter.

well strippers are salt water fish..not fresh water..and if they were salt water bass at a lfs..then they probly are chalk sea bass, or tobasco...strippers get to big for home aquaria..and need really cold water unless they are hybrids..

STRIPPERS???

Real striped bass (morone saxtillis) is anadromus but if it ever becomes landlocked (for example if the river floods into a pond while they go upstream then when the waters recede and they get stuck in the pond, they WILL survive and thrive.

Also, if you keep them in freshwater all it's life, it won't get 78 inches. Maybe only about half of that.

There are farmed striped bass that are farmed in fresh water and they do look a little different and don't get as large because they have not gone to the ocean. Striped bass usually only grow that large because of the junk they eat in the ocean.
 
yea i agree if you kept a striper it would not get that big, most people never catch a striper larger then 50 inchs and i think in a tank would proably top out at 30 or so if given the room to grow. i guess i would put them in the same group as ATF.

here are a few of my last fishing trips, sorry i always love bringing some home to eat but 90 percent of the fish and any of 40 inchs go back
