A few things have happened in the more recent past ...

- Here in NJ there is a ban on commercial fishing for Stripers
- Farm raised Stripers have become popular therefore they've filled some of the demand that used to be filled by the commercials.

I agree Jerry,i was referring to the eighties and earlier.
