It's the same thing. Here on the east coast they call them Rockfish. On the Left coast they call the Striped Bass. Yeah I lived on the Left coast as a kid (we fished in Rio Vista and Antioch CA).
if you go to smith mt. lake, they are called stripers there, but any other lake around here they call 'em rockfish.

6 in one, half dozen in the other.
