Stripers eating fingerlings on the hooch!

Chattahoochee below Morgan Falls Dam there are stripers, big stripers, and stripers eat trout, and the smaller, the more. The DNR continues to stock the river down there with fingerings, I'm sure the stripers feast on the trout. So what's the take on the stripers? Are there any studies, or something to clean them out being done? Are they a real threat, and could the DNR stock big fish down there, as a hope the the stripers won't harm them, because of course they would be too big to mess with? I think that if the DNR stops wasting the fingerlings, that there would be a significant raise in numbers of stockable trout, therefor, there would be more fish to utilize, and more larger fish, which oughta make anglers happy!

What's the take on this?
