just to put the isue in a little different light...
imagine stripers were not introduced into the delta 100 years ago and our salmon/steelhead population was at this pathetic low. would you introduce 6 million predators?
i think covelo is just saying what nobody wants to believe or has the balls to say. just because we love stripers and we love fishing for them doesn't mean we should let our emotions cloud the issue. We have introduced a species that is aiding in the diminishing returns of native species, and thst is totally factual.
