Was talking with Pro V le over the weekend and need to clarify something. I do understand that stripers are temp sensitive. They will seek waters within their range, sometimes to the point of suffocating to death. But what we are talking about here is the effects of capture. lactic acidosis is a result when the muscles can not properly burn glucose due to a lack of oxygen in the blood. This is a condition that can exist in some humans, but is more common and more lethal in reptiles and, in this case, striped bass. Crocodiles, for instance, can have the exact same symptoms and outcome during attempted capture as with striped bass. And as with striped bass, the larger the croc, the more likely and fatal outcome.
