The film was made to build awareness by the fishing and boating industry of the Sport Fish Restoration partnership and its successes, specifically providing consistent funding for state fish and wildlife agencies to perform science and management that results in fishing opportunities for striped bass. The video highlights the striped bass population crash (late 1970s), its recovery (mid to late 1990s), and how state agencies and the manufacturer excise taxes were, and continue to be, instrumental in the management of this important and popular sport fish species.
