The Sacramento/San Juaquin river system is home to the largest estuary in the west, and a destination for anglers in pursuit of the striped bass.
"Today, an estimated 300,000 recreational anglers pursue them in California. These stripers don't get quite as large as their Atlantic counterparts although 60-plus-pounders have been taken and because they will eat almost any smaller fish in their path, they have been accused of depleting native Delta species. But for anglers, their fighting mobility and wily ways are legendary."
