Yes, they are both of the genus "Morone" .... with White Bass being a freshwater fish, and a true Striper being a saltwater fish that happens to spawn in freshwater.

Lake Moultrie in South Carolina was the first lake that Striped Bass were landlocked in and survived & reproduced. Since then, they've been stocked in various lakes around the country. Some stockings failed & some succeeded.

Here in KY, Lake Cumberland & Ky/Barkley Lake contain Striped Bass ... with Cumberland Lake being the premier spot, and state record holder of a 58lb 4oz fish.

Throw the dreaded and misnamed "White Perch" in there too. They have invaded a bunch of inshore lakes and threaten to crowd out other species, but they are natural to salt water estuaries. Their closest relative is listed as the Striped Bass.

About 40 pounds.
